Important Message from CCEL!
CCEL students returned to class on Wednesday this week. Everybody was very happy to be back!This morning UC asked us to follow the same phasing in of classes as the rest of the Education campus. This means that our staff will continue working as usual, and new students will be able to start on Monday 13 September. GE classes will start on Wednesday 15 September. We will hold extra classes for these students on Saturday 18 September and Saturday 25 September. We are very sorry for any inconvenience.
