Please note this email only applies to students living in Halls on campus and in private rented accommodation. Last night we received updated information from the UK government, who have written to all UK universities. The advice from the government is that students remaining at university in England should now stay where they are and not attempt to travel. The government advice is that if you are still living in student Halls, or private rented accommodation, you should remain there and stay indoors while current restrictions are in force.
We must all play our part in following the latest government advice. As the Prime Minister said, staying put and remaining indoors is now crucial to slow the rate of transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19), to protect the NHS from being overwhelmed, and to save lives.
If you are living on campus please be assured that we will continue to support you. You will be able to continue living in your room and, if you live in catered Halls, your meals will continue to be provided for you.
The Union Shop remains open, and it is recommend that you use the shop to buy essential items to reduce any travelling. It is important that you follow the government’s guidance when using the shop and you minimise the number of trips that you make in a day.

In accordance with the government advice, if you have now returned home, this means you should also not return to your Hall or private accommodation whilst these measures are in place.
