The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has impelled the Thai government to require restrictions on the operation of educational institutions along with many other enterprises. Units of the administration of Chiang Mai Province have taken further steps to delay and inhibit the spread of the virus. Pursuant to these orders Payap University has revised its previously announced operational plans for the period from now through midnight April 13.

Payap University shall be temporarily closed from 24 March 2020 through 15 April 2020. Work shall resume as of 16 April 2020. The previously announced Songkran holiday from 13-17 April will be cancelled.
New student enrollment should be done on-line using the system on Payap University’s website.
