Students at the Tshwane University of Technology will return to class on Monday following a six week long break prompted by protests.
The two Pretoria North campuses will resume classes after more than a month following the death of law student Katlego Monareng.
TUT spokesperson Willa de Ruyter confirmed classes would resume under strict security conditions.
Students will undergo a vetting process before gaining access on to the campus premises. Only registered students will be allowed on the premises.
TUT has made plans to help pupils catch up on more than a month load of academic activities when the institution was shut down.
Year end examination dates for the two campuses will be pushed back to allow students to catch up. More detailed information will be made available to students upon their return according to TUT.
Many students were making their way to the Soshanguve campus on Monday morning.
Final year student, Monareng, 26, was allegedly killed at the hands of police when violence erupted during the SRC elections in August.
TUT announced that they would halt academic activities and declared a week of mourning.
He was buried on September 1 in Bushbuckridge.
