Advice and guidance for students
Guidance on teaching arrangements, safety, wellbeing, support and more.
Updated 25 February 2022
Government has set out its intention to begin to treat COVID the same as other infectious diseases, such as flu. Remaining domestic legal requirements in England ended on 24 February, this means:
Between now and 1 April, if you test positive for COVID please stay at home and avoid contact with other people for at least five full days, then continue to follow the guidance until you have received two negative test results on consecutive days.
From April we ask that everyone considers the safety of others and takes a sensible approach: if you are feeling unwell, with a cold of flu-like symptoms, please stay at home to recover.
We are working through the changes and how they impact on a number of areas, we will continue to update this page.
Do continue to keep yourself and each other safe by following and supporting the measures and guidance in place on campus. These are:
What we’re doing to keep you safe on campus and how to keep yourself - and others - safe.

We still need to remain vigilant and be mindful of our actions in order to limit any further spread of the disease – it is, therefore, important to note that social distancing, mask wearing, and testing guidelines remain in place.
The Government is providing home testing kits to students and staff to increase testing uptake and help limit virus transmission.
Upon return to campus, all students and staff are encouraged to take three supervised tests (three to five days apart) at an asymptomatic testing site on campus - this is currently located in the Great Hall in the Richmond Building. Booking can be accessed via this link.
After this, students and staff will also have access to home testing kits throughout the summer term through both the Government’s offer of free rapid LFD tests twice weekly to everyone in England, and ‘University Collect’ services, under which universities will distribute tests from communal locations on campus, such as libraries. This is in addition to the onsite testing already offered.
All tests will be free, and all students and staff who test positive from an LFD test will need to self-isolate for 10 days, unless they receive a negative PCR test within two days.
