Lectures are being held regularly and are easily accessible for all students. Till now more than 500 classes have been held and more than 1500 hours are spent on the virtual learning system through ‘BlackBoard’ portal. Juman Badran, Student of Mass Communication Department at QU said, “The distance learning system that was implemented a short time turns out to be successful because of the fast adaptation. The professors have been very cooperative during the current situation. The interaction between us and professor is not as strong as of we have in classroom but if we have any questions our professor allows us to ask the question and discuss the difficulties we are facing.”

QU has strived to provide best facilities to all the colleges and students with special needs. “It is highly beneficial and we do appreciate all the efforts The Government and University put to ensure the students health.
