The health, safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is our key priority and our return to campus is being managed in such a way to adhere to public health guidelines and protect our University community.

If a student or staff member, or someone in their household, displays Covid-19 symptoms, they should:

• Stay at home, or go home wearing a face covering if already attending campus
• Follow the advice on www.nhsinform.scot and seek to be tested at the earliest opportunity 
• Let our Health & Safety team​ know you are displaying symptoms or have tested positive for Covid-19, or if a student confirms to you they have tested positive for Covid-19
• Only leave home when they have been told it is safe to do so 

The University’s Covid Health Helpdesk is here to support colleagues and students who have questions about what they should do if they or someone they live with has coronavirus symptoms, and to direct them to our current advice. You can contact the helpdesk via covidhealthhelpdesk@napier.ac.uk or on 0131 455 2600 between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.​ For more information on the helpdesk, click here​.

You’ll find the latest guidance on safe practices to adopt when teaching here​, guidance on working in a multiple occupancy office here​, and everything you need to know about face coverings here.​ 

Looking for information on the student check in process? You'll find a guide here and answers to FAQs here​.

For information about AV provision for teaching and learning in external spaces​, including Murrayfield and the EICC, click here​.

What are we telling our students? You’ll find our latest student newsletter here, explaining everything that's changed ahead of trimester one and with comprehensive coverage of all of the latest health and safety guidance, new processes and procedures, and new systems they’ll need to engage with.​

Any questions you may have can be submitted to staffcommunications@napier.ac.uk.
