Update 30 April 2020

In line with the government announcement of an extension of the Emergency Decree until May 31, 2020, the University has also announced that campuses will remain closed until May 31, 2020.  (Faculty, staff and students continue to work from home.)  

Update 23 March 2020

Referring to the announcement from the University, you should refrain from going outside of your residence, going to public places, or engaging in social contact with other people. This is extremely important if we are to limit the spread of this virus. Sasin’s work will continue for everyone as we are all just working from home instead of working from Sasin from 23 March until 30 April. If you have any concerns that you might have symptoms of COVID-19, please seek immediate medical attention (you can register for screening here) and contact Student Services/ HR for further advice.  

Attention Sasin Students:

Chulalongkorn University announced on March 16, 2020 that all classes must now go online effective immediately. We’ve been preparing for this eventuality so you can participate in your remaining classes this module. More details about the platform and how to login to your classes will be sent to you later today. If you have any additional questions, please contact our Student Services team.  

Please note the University’s requirements (summary as of March 13, 2020):
