Our teaching in 2021 will be guided by keeping students and staff safe and creating an optimal environment for teaching and learning activities to continue.
To achieve these two essential objectives, the Commerce Faculty will offer all undergraduate courses (from 1st to final year) in a physically distanced learning mode (PDL) during the first semester of 2021.

What is PDL in the Commerce Faculty?
PDL means that the key orientation activities and first semester lectures and tutorials will be offered online. Assessments (for example tests and exams) during and at the end of the semester will be invigilated for certain courses in appropriate venues on campus. Invigilation means that you write in a venue - with invigilators present - and the assessment is set for a particular duration. We will upload details on this site for the courses requiring this type of assessment.
Each course convenor decides how teaching activities are offered. There are two types of online teaching: synchronous or asynchronous format. Synchronous means that you need to log on at a particular time and take part in a live-teaching activity. Asynchronous refers to a learning activity where material is uploaded to the course Vula site. You can study it in your time, but must meet the timelines that will be given for completion. We expect that most lectures will be held in an asynchronous format while some tutorials (or workshops) will be synchronous.
What does that mean in practice?
To successfully take part in PDL, each student is required to have sufficient connectivity and access to complete the expected 45 weekly hours throughout the semester. This will require at a minimum:
What does this mean for Commerce First Year Students?
Students must ensure that they can participate in all orientation and teaching activities. First-year orientation lays the foundation of your courses. During orientation you will be given important information on the Faculty’s curriculum options and choices and you will learn how to engage with your courses online. This is a critical period of preparation and you need to participate fully in all orientation activities.
Commerce Orientation opens on the 1 March 2021. It is essential that you are ready and able to engage with all online orientation activities. Attending orientation is required for registration. The orientation site and orientation activities run until the semester starts.;
Once the semester starts formally on the 15th March, there will be additional support and information available to help our students adjust to UCT. We also have orientation leaders available every day to answer your queries and guide you along the way. Our orientation leaders are senior students in the faculty who know what goes into adjusting to UCT and being successful in Commerce.
