All FNU campuses close today

Fiji National University (FNU) has closed all its campuses nationwide today, March 2, 2026, due to adverse weather conditions.

In a notice to staff and students, the university said the decision followed an official directive from the Ministry of Education, along with advisories from the Fiji Meteorological Service and the National Disaster Management Office (NDMO).

The university said the move was made to ensure the safety and wellbeing of staff and students amid continued heavy rainfall and flash flood warnings in place across various divisions.

Lecturers and course co-ordinators have been asked to communicate directly with students on classes and alternative learning arrangements.

All staff are required to work from home and remain in close contact with their respective supervisors.

Staff and students have been advised to continue monitoring official weather updates, avoid travelling through flooded or unsafe areas, exercise caution when commuting and be aware of evacuation centres and emergency contacts if living in low-lying or flood-prone areas.

The FNU Emergency Response Team will remain on standby to respond to urgent matters during the closure period.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Unaisi Nabobo-Baba said further updates would be issued as weather conditions are reassessed.
