The Importance of University Notices
In the absence of a general closure, in-person classes will be held according to the educational schedule. Unless a university independently issues a notice for a specific faculty, level, or group. Especially at Islamic Azad University, the fall semester program for 2026 will be held in person, and any change in the method of holding classes requires an official announcement.
Therefore, students who have classes in their weekly schedule should not rely on rumors about the closure of Arak and must check their university's notice. The official website of Arak University of Medical Sciences was also updated on Monday, October 5, 2026, and there is no news of a closure of university activities for October 6 in its announcements section.
This issue is of greater importance for medical students, as the educational activities of these universities occur alongside medical activities and may be independent of some executive bodies in the province. Therefore, even if no general closure has been announced, there may be specific decisions made regarding the closure of certain activities.
Ultimately, for students in Arak, the official notice from their university remains the determining factor for the final status of classes. Given the current conditions, the main indication for Tuesday, October 6, is the continuation of regular educational programs, and it does not seem that there will be a widespread closure in the universities of Markazi Province.
