Students have been notified of their respective dates and more information can be found on the College’s official Facebook page.

“It is no doubt that COVID-19, affected every institution in diverse ways, however with the support of the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and dedicated EMC staff members, the College has been able to apply a blended approach to teaching and learning that incorporates remote learning.
“Ongoing support is provided to lecturing staff to enhance blended approach as well as improve lesson preparation and delivery,” said Oladimeji.
