On-Campus Classes Suspended and Moved to our Online Platform

The University Council, in conjunction with the management of Cavendish University Zambia and in compliance with the Government’s directive to close all on campus institutions of learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic, decided to temporarily suspend all face-to-face classes, effective Friday, March 20, 2020.

The university is fully committed to doing everything, within its power, to provide students with every opportunity to continue their studies and remain on track to graduate on time, while also keeping students’ health as its number 1 priority. To this end, CUZ’s management has made arrangements to temporarily transition all DAY Face to Face students, including non-clerkship School of Medicine students, to its online Cavendish University Learning Platform (CULP).

Online classes officially resumed the week of April 6th 2020. Lecturers and teaching support staff are doing everything they can to support you to continue with your studies with as little disruption as possible, while maintaining the academic experience you expect of Cavendish University Zambia and the standards that make a Cavendish University Zambia qualification so valuable for your future.

We understand how diverse and difficult the challenges that you our students may currently be facing due to online learning. We also recognize just how much hard work and commitment you put into your studies. If you are experiencing any challenges, please reach out to us as soon as possible so that we can render the necessary help.
