Particularly universities in New Zealand are hoping students are all settling into the current situation, staying positive and carving out new routines. It’s been an unprecedented kind of situation of few days with, naturally, an amount of confusion and stress as well. University managements all over the country have been taking note of emails from graduate as well as postgraduate students about issues that are arising as a result of the measures to combat COVID-19, and have been in touch with multiple parts of the country’s delegates and Universities to get some clarity and assurances. They are constantly updating the students with newsletters and emails just to give the students a quick update on these issues. Universities endeavor to respond to individual emails where possible and are informing students to be assured that they are taking note of all correspondence and acting accordingly.
