| Summary: | The Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL) is a public
university situated in Monterrey, Mexico. It has more than
206,000 students in high school and higher education and
1,157 students registered in the Químico Farmacéutico
Biólogo/Chemist Pharmacist Biologist programme. Most of
the educational programmes are in person, only a few
continual education courses were given remotely, for which
UANL used a platform called Nexus, for all media and
educational resources. This platform is also used for
University students to submit and evaluate homework for
the in-person classes. Only approximately 10% of the
University’s staff had previously delivered lectures online,
despite all of them having, as students, attended online
continuous education programmes. On 17th March 2020,
UANL decided to stop all in-person activities for students as
recommended by the government and one week later this
was extended to include faculty and administrative staff. The
regular termly calendar was scheduled from 20th January to
19th June 2020, a 20-week term. The term was in its ninth
week when the pandemic interrupted the learning schedule.
