Taif University has moved today's in-person teaching to remote learning on the Blackboard platform from 12 noon, at its main campus in Al-Hawiyah and all its other campuses in Taif governorate. The university said the decision followed information received from the National Center for Meteorology and was taken to protect the safety of male and female students as well as academic and administrative staff.

Classes and staff working hours will continue in person as usual at the university's branches in the governorates of Turabah, Al-Khurmah and Ranyah, the university added.
