Plans for the next academic year
If you are returning to study with us after the summer break, you'll be pleased to know that our intention is that physical campuses
will be open to all students. This will allow you to study on campus and access support services on campus if you need to next
academic year.
If your course is delivered remotely, or networked across more than one campus, you will also be able to continue to study remotely
or choose to study on campus. We will continue to follow Scottish Government guidance and you will be expected to follow guidance
from your local campus around physical distancing, wearing face coverings, following hand hygiene etc.
Remember, as we go back in to the COVID-19 levels system, our campuses may not all be in the same level, so it is really important
you stay up to date with the latest information from your local campus. This will be available on websites, social media or on your
student email.
For the latest information on the current semester please continue to check our COVID-19 pages on the website which also has links
to all local campus information. Hear from Iain Morrison, Dean of Students.
