I am receiving a lot of emails regarding advising status from students. I don't think advising will be cancelled. You know such decisions come from the top. As far as I know there will be a high-level meeting today and some important decisions will be made there regarding advising, convocation, moving to the new campus, commencement of classes etc. I will publish the decisions when I am informed. So you may check my blog and NSU website from time to time for latest status.

Online advising facility is available. You may collect your password from IS dept if you haven't done it yet. IS dept will remain open although NSU is declared closed for 2 days from today. You may do your own advising at your advising time-slot from home/cyber-cafe. If you have problem with retaking a course or prerequisite, you may resolve that problem from the BBA Dept once university is open.

I am very thankful to them who emailed me to know about my wellbeing. I am doing alright. What happened yesterday at NSU was something that had never happened before in 18 years of NSU history. It was really a disgraceful and shameful event. The atrocities they showed by vandalizing, assaulting teachers and fellow students, and most heinous attacks on and around the office of our honorable VC sir, just stunned me! It was utterly unbelievable. Such an act is outright unacceptable from the students we teach in the hope of instilling better human nature in them and make them future leaders of our nation.

Students have every right to protest for their rights. But they should do it peacefully. They don't have any right to force other students not to get advised or harass after advising! Anyway, I don't want to get into any arguments here. I am also an NSU alumni. After all it is OUR institution. What WE do here reflects US in the community where we live in. Such events will definitely have consequences when you graduate from here in future. You should preserve the reputation of NSU by all means for your own sake.

Thanks.
