Face coverings for essential academic activities
Face coverings are a really vital part of our community effort to keep safe on campus. Essential academic activities such as seminars and inductions, where you need to attend to participate fully in achieving learning outcomes, may take place in essential settings such as timetabled teaching rooms or optional settings such as conference centres. When taking part in these activities, we ask you to wear face coverings and keep 1.5m social distancing. Thank you.
