COVID-19 Student Communique

Uncategorised /

Dear Students, Following the president’s address on 27 June 2021, the country has been placed under lockdown alert level-4 from 28 June 2021 to 11 July 2021.   With this in mind, Belgium Campus iTversity would like students on all three campuses to take note of the following information: The current lockdown level-4 period falls during our student leave period and therefore does not affect students at this point in time. Classes are expected to resume as normal on 12 July 2021 after the set lockdown alert level-4 period. Should there be tighter restrictions imposed and/or the lockdown period extended, all classes will move online with immediate effect. Classrooms will be made available for students who would like to utilise the campus infrastructure with additional social distancing implemented. Deaf students will be provided with a larger classroom to ensure continuation of lessons and adherence to COVID-19 regulations. Students’ residences will remain open for occupancy at both the Tshwane and Nelson Mandela Bay campuses. The cafeteria at both Tshwane and Nelson Mandela Bay campuses will only serve meals as take-away. The cafeteria will still be closed during weekends and holidays but the tuck-shop at the Tshwane campus will remain open. Should you require an inter-provincial travel permit, parents and students are advised to make use of the affidavit in the Government Gazette on page 21 which must be certified at a police station or magistrate’s office. The Government Gazette can be accessed at the following link: https://www.cogta.gov.za/index.php/2021/06/28/disaster-management-act-57-2002-amendment-of-regulations-issued-in-terms-of-section-27-2-4/ We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the COVID-19 health and safety rules and regulations that must be followed at all times whilst on campus, and that it is of utmost importance to complete the on-campus screening daily.

Wearing an appropriate mask (covering mouth and nose) at all times.  Adhering to physical and social distancing rules. This means keeping a distance of at least 1.5 meters, preferably 2 meters, between yourself and those around you. Please note that the current variant of the COVID-19 virus is far more contagious than the previous variant, so please be extra careful. Following basic hygiene practices. This includes properly washing or sanitising your hands regularly.  Anyone showing COVID symptoms who has been in close contact with a COVID positive person, need to please stay home.

Belgium Campus iTversity’s 2021 Graduation Ceremony

Uncategorised /

Belgium Campus iTversity’s 2021 Graduation Ceremony On Friday, 7 May, our students held their heads up high and walked tall when they were awarded their academic qualifications. The 2021 Graduation ceremony at Belgium Campus was nothing short of special as the day was not only devoted to celebrating this important achievement in these students’ lives but also at highlighting the start of a new beginning. It was a unique ceremony where both the class of 2020 and the class of 2021 respectively walked on stage to receive their hard-earned IT diplomas and degrees. This year’s event boasted a total of 259 graduates. Of these 259 students, 74 achieved cum laude, 19 magna cum laude and 7 summa cum laude. It was another year of excellence for Belgium Campus!   Mr. Enrico Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer of Belgium Campus iTversity, praised the graduates for their resilience under the current pressure brought on by COVID-19. He highlighted some special qualities that make Belgium Campus students stand out from the rest by focusing on their sense of responsibility and their commitment to others. These core-competencies form part of their unique foundation which is rooted in the Belgium Campus philosophy and makes them the most sought after in the IT industry. He went on to acknowledge and applaud the crucially supportive role played by guardians, parents, spouses and loved ones throughout the students’ academic journey. It is through this kind of support that the number of deaf and hard of hearing students graduating at our institution more than tripled this year. It went from two students in 2019 to ten in 2021. The high quality education offered at this institution is a tool that equally empowers students from various demographics and the excellent education acquired will form part of who these graduates are wherever they go. Our valedictorian Bernd Eckbert Gevers, class of 2021, with an aggregate average percentage of 88%, shared the road to achievement. He delivered his speech with finesse, carrying the audience through his journey which began when he attended the Open Day event in 2016, and ending with him not only graduating but delivering a valedictorian speech in 2021. He described how hard the road was and how at the end he knows that he made the right choice to study at BC. Mr. Jan Rombouts, the Chairman of the Belgium Campus iTversity, graced the occasion with his presence – all the way from Belgium. He congratulated the graduates on the journey of life they have just embarked on. Their journey is one that has no path but has opportunities for them to create their own trails.
