IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Cadets,

With this message, the Cyprus Maritime Academy (CYMA) would like to inform you of the following:

The course of the Pandemic in Cyprus and the operations of CYMA:

The difficulties and challenges brought on by the Pandemic to our country, our daily lives and, as expected, to the operations of CYMA itself, have been significant. Nevertheless, the strict application by all of us of the protective measures against the pandemic coupled with the compliance in conducting COVID-19 rapid diagnostic tests on a weekly basis, has enabled us to continue the normal delivery of the programs of CYMA, with theoretical courses delivered online and laboratory courses conducted with the physical presence of Cadets.

The success of all the efforts made by CYMA and its Cadets over the last few months in managing the pandemic is proven by the fact that the programs of the Academy are expected to be completed without any serious delays in the academic calendar and without any shortfalls in terms of quality.

Conclusion of the Spring 2021 Semester

Theoretical Courses: The delivery of all theoretical courses of the programs of CYMA will continue online and completed in accordance with the academic calendar of each program.

Laboratory Courses: The delivery of the laboratory courses of the programs of CYMA will continue with the physical presence of Cadets and completed in accordance with the academic calendar of each program, with the proviso that this mode of delivery is allowed under the prevailing government measures against the pandemic.

Final Exams: The final exams for all courses of the programs of CYMA will take place in the period 22/05/2021 to 12/06/2021. Cadets will receive details regarding the methodology of their final exams as well as their analytical timetable from their program coordinator.

Cadets who are infected by COVID-19 or are in self-isolation: CYMA is applying special provisions regarding Cadets who have been infected by COVID-19 or who are self-isolating, and as a result are unable to participate in the normal delivery of their courses or partake in their final exams. Affected Cadets will receive relevant instructions directly from their program coordinator.

Graduation Ceremony: The graduation ceremony for the Cadets of CYMA who have graduated in the academic year 2019-2020 as well as for Cadets who will graduate in the academic year 2020-2021, is scheduled to take place jointly for both academic years together with the graduates of Intercollege around the end of June 2021, with the proviso that such a ceremony is allowed under the prevailing government measures against the pandemic. More information regarding this subject will be provided by the Academy around the end of May 2021.

 

CYMA encourages its Cadets to stay in contact and respond promptly to communication with members of the faculty and to also diligently observe all announcements issued by the Academy as well as by their program coordinator.

CYMA wishes to all of you a Happy Easter and a safe return to the Academy.
