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.
8 January - Following this afternoon’s update from the Scottish Government, we are now in a position to clarify what the latest Covid restrictions will mean for our students in trimesters two and three. Get all the details here.
As we are now back in lockdown, you'll find updated guidance regarding working from home for all colleagues here (updated 6 January) and guidance for managers here (updated 6 January).
Please contact HR if you require a
statement of eligibility to evidence you are permitted to travel during Tier 4
restrictions for the purpose of education in line with SG Guidance. Note that
this is different to having key worker status to enable access to childcare,
which is currently being reviewed by the Scottish Government.

Important information
As of 3 December, the Scottish Government have updated the guidance regarding the wearing of face coverings when on campus. It’s now mandatory for all staff and students to wear a face covering when in learning and teaching spaces on campus – even when two metre distancing can be maintained. Get all the details here.
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
