With the Yamim Tovim coming up, I again urge all our university students to please check that there are no clashes with their upcoming exams and if there are to immediately let the Board know (011 645 2521/ sajbd@sajbd.org). While we will go to every effort to ensure that our students are accommodated, even in cases where only a single person is involved, we need to be informed about any problems as far in advance as possible.
