Hello Jemima,

Welcome to the last newsletter of spring term! This week we're sharing information and guidance about exams and assessments to help you prepare over the Easter vacation and in term 3. Remember to look at our Easter pages to find out about support available and what's on over the Easter vacation. Read on to find out more and to see the upcoming events and opportunities.

Term 3

Last week we let you know that students studying science subjects that require lab-based activity and specialist equipment, and some theatre studies students will be able to return for some face-to-face teaching from 26 April.

We are still waiting on government guidance to hear when all other students will be able to return to campus after the Easter vacation. Please keep an eye on MyWarwick and your Warwick email over the vacation.

Even if the government guidance says that students can return, we know that not all students may be able to physically return to campus from across the UK and internationally, we will therefore continue to provide blended teaching and learning.

For students that are able to return, we are proceeding with our plans for an exciting range of face-to-face co-curricular opportunities and academic support. Departments will also provide online support for assessments and revision, as appropriate for your subject area.

If you are on campus or visiting campus regularly, remember to book your twice-weekly asymptomatic tests to help protect yourself and others. And, please keep following community responsibilities and national guidance to keep everyone safe. 


Choose Your Way Warwick

We’re working with Transport for West Midlands to trial new approaches and technologies for getting to, from and around campus. This will help us to address the climate emergency and will make moving around our campus and the local area easier. Visit the new webpages to learn more about the new modes of transport that will be available to you.

Wellbeing Support - Relaxation and Planning Ahead

If you have noticed that you find the exam period or deadlines overwhelming, you might find it useful to sign up for our Thrive during challenging times skills session which will be running again from Monday 12 April to Thursday 22 April.
