1. All students, regardless of program or year, are strictly prohibited from entering the institute from 12 July 2026 to 9 August 2026, and must avoid high-risk or "Red Zone" areas. Violations will result in disciplinary action under the Pathumwan Institute of Technology Student Discipline Regulations B.E. 2558 (2015) and its amendments (No. 2) B.E. 2562 (2019).
2. From 12 July to 9 August 2026, all courses will be taught online. For courses requiring practical training, instructors and related departments must modify the teaching methods using online examples or other appropriate alternatives.
