Using study space during the Summer Examination period

The Summer Exam period begins on Monday 17 May. At this time of year, all of our study spaces should be used for quiet study. When using study spaces, please be mindful that other students may be taking exams and so try to keep noise to a minimum.

You can check the availability of study locations on the MyWarwick App or study space availability page. There are also additional spaces open this term.

Guidance on social mixing for on-campus and off-campus accommodation 

With the Government confirming further lifting of Covid-19 restrictions in the UK from 17 May we are sharing the latest guidance on social mixing for on-campus and off-campus accommodation.

With summer exams beginning from Monday 17 May, we know that many of you will be taking online exams from your study bedroom. If you live on campus, there will be some additional restrictions in place to minimise disruption to others in shared accommodation spaces. If you live off-campus, you might like to have a conversation with your housemates about how you're going to manage the exam period. Make sure you read the updated guidance.
