Not all students, including first-year students, will have the
opportunity to participate in the "day of knowledge" at Yerevan
State University. Karen Grigoryan, who head the university’s press
department, told panorama.am that "This year, the university will greet
its first-year students on September 3, at 8:30 AM. This concerns all
departments, except for law and economics. These will begin according
to tradition. I think this decision by the university is a surprise
to students, but in reality there is nothing out of the ordinary in
the decision."

The reason, he said, is that in an institution of higher learning all
departments, excepting the above-mentioned two, classes are not held
on Saturdays, meaning the doors for them will open on Monday.

Grigoryan added that "The departments of Roman-German languages and
sociology are scheduled second, therefore these faculties will greet
their first-year students on September 3 at 1:30 PM.

The university news service stated that on the first day of learning a
package will be distributed to first-year students, which will include
a map of the university, notebooks, pens, and general instructions.
