Year two electrical and computer engineering students at UWI's’ St Augustine campus are not satisfied with the plans for their end-of-semester exams, which will be held in a physical format.
The students, about 80 of them, met with the head of the department, the campus registrar and the dean of the engineering faculty on Wednesday to have their concerns addressed.
However, several told Newsday they were not satisfied, as the meeting did not solve their concerns.
Given the rise in covid19 cases, the students say their safety and that of their families were being put at risk.
Earlier this week, Bridget Ramroop, the representative for the Engineering Society in the Guild of Students, wrote to the head of the examination board as well as other senior officials at UWI on behalf of the year two students.
Students from year one-four also have the same concerns over in-person exams.
In the letter, Ramroop said throughout the semester they were under the impression all exams would be held online, as they had been since the start of the pandemic in TT in March last year.
She said on November 18, students outside TT were told there would courses for which examinations would be done in a physical format.
Ramroop said after raising the issue with the head of the department, students were told the decision was solely dependent on the board of examiners, which was awaiting approval from the Ministry of Health.
She said local students were not contacted and received no formal notice from the university’s administration.
The guild’s representative said on December 5, students received an e-mail saying one of their exams will be held physically on December 15.
Ramroop reminded that university guidelines say all examination announcements must be made two weeks before the date of the exam, so, since they were only told ten days before, “That notice is void, since it does not meet the 14-day requirement.”
She also said there has still been no confirmation of whether exams on two other courses will be held physically, and “We, the student body, would like to be informed of this decision almost immediately, preferably with at least two weeks’ notice...
“This period has caused the student population an enormous degree of stress and during this period of uncertainty we are placed (under) an even higher degree of stress and inconvenience.”
Ramroop said other departments at the university were having online exams and “it is unfair that we should be exposed to the public and risk our lives in light of the rising number of new and active cases, as well as deaths each day.”
In her letter, Ramroop said students were concerned because the country was in its third wave of covid19 and the situation now was even worse than during the semester when they were present on campus for laboratory exercises, which were done safely in small groups.
She also said a major percentage of the country was unvaccinated and far from meeting the requirements of normality, as there are still pandemic restrictions in place.

AFTER a donation of 305,370 doses of Pfizer vaccine in August, TT will get a second tranche of 304,200 doses of this covid19 vaccine from the US Government, said statements on Wednesday by the Government and the US Embassy.
The vaccines are due to arrive in two shipments at Piarco Airport at 8.22 am on Thursday and 8.22 am on Friday.
They are part of a total of 907,920 doses being donated to TT.
The ministry statement said Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Dr Amery Browne welcomed the arrival.
\"Minister Browne thanks the Government of the US for this generous donation, which is the result of sustained dialogue, diplomacy, and negotiations involving the Government of US, the Government of TT, other Caricom member states, the Caricom Secretariat, CARPHA and Pfizer.
It said the Prime Minister, while he was chairman of Caricom, initiated and led the effort to acquire vaccines on behalf of TT and Caricom, and since then, theGovernment of TT has continued to acquire WHO-approved covid19 vaccines, and the Ministry of Health will use these vaccines in its national rollout.
The US Embassy statement said, \"The donation brings the total number of Pfizer vaccines that the US has donated to TT to 609,570.
\"This donation is part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to lead in the effort to vaccinate the world, having shipped over 280 million free vaccines to 110 countries to help us get out of this pandemic.\"
With the emergence of the omicron variant, US President Joe Biden said on December 2 that the US will accelerate the delivery of vaccines to countries that need them, said the statement.
\"President Biden has pledged to deliver 200 million doses – more doses within the next 100 days – on the way to delivering more than 1.2 billion doses for the rest of the world.
The statement quoted US Embassy chargé d’affaires Shante Moore.
“The US is proud to donate these free covid19 vaccines to the people of TT, who are our neighbours, family members, and friends. I urge everyone to get vaccinated. As President Biden said, ‘We are doing our part, and we’ll do more, but this a global pandemic and everyone needs to fight it together.’”
The embassy said the 907,920 doses donated by the US will constitute 77 per cent of all vaccines donated to TT since deliveries began in February.
\"The initial Pfizer vaccine donation allowed children aged 12-18 to be vaccinated and begin to return to school.
\"The US Government only donates vaccines approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. These are the same vaccines that all American citizens can receive and are the same doses the US is sharing globally.\"
TT's vaccination rates have plummeted in recent months. Covid19 cases have increased rapidly.
