Hello Jemima

Welcome to this week's newsletter. On Tuesday, we contacted you to summarise the key information about the end of term including; testing and departures, self-isolation support and local restriction tiers. We'd like to remind you how important it is to follow the guidelines to make sure you keep yourself and the local community safe, as well as your families and friends if you're travelling home during the student travel window. A reminder that there can be disciplinary action taken if guidelines are not followed.

In case you've missed it this week...

Asymptomatic testing opened on Monday. Many of you have already booked your slots – thank you for helping us keep our families and communities safe. If you haven’t booked your tests yet, please go to the booking information page.

NHS Test and Trace are keen to hear your views on the student testing. Whether you have been tested or not, please complete the student survey. This is an anonymised survey which will be used to look at the student population across the UK. They are not asking for students to indicate which University they attend so will not return individual results.

Let us know where you'll be during the Christmas vacation. We sent you an email last week to find out where you'll be over the Christmas vacation. If you haven't already, please click the relevant button in the email to let us know or fill in this form.

Term 1 survey. There's still time to share your views in the Term 1 survey to help shape your learning experience for the rest of the academic year. Once you've completed the survey you'll be entered into a prize draw to win a £200 amazon voucher. Complete the survey via your personal link.

Wellbeing support

Remember to take a look at our Wellbeing Masterclasses, you can join the Microsoft Teams events or go through the slides in your own time. If you're feeling worried or anxious, there are some helpful resources on managing anxiety. There are lots of other self-help resources available so do take the time to have a look through.

If you're self-isolating and have any questions or concerns, remember you can get in touch on our support line.
Top Isolation and Lockdown Tips Video

Check out this great new video by Study Happy Ambassadors, John and Gervaise, where they talk about different ways students can cope while isolating or in lockdown.

We're also proud to share what some of our staff and students have been getting up to throughout both periods of lockdown.

 

Cleaning products in Halls of Residence 

In you're living in on-campus accommodation, they'll be extra refuse and recycling bags in the kitchens as well as some general purpose cleaner and disposable cloths so that you can keep your flat clean over the break. If you need to top up, the Residential Life Tutors will have access to some stocks. Additionally, there will be a supply left at Student Services Reception in Senate House for you to collect.
