We've been pouring through new Government advice today to work out what a national #lockdown means for university life and for our students.

We've sent an email update to staff and students today, but here's a quick round up 👇

Please 🙏 hop over to your email account and read all the details in full, to understand what you can expect from the month ahead.

Here are 5 of the key points that will most affect students...

[2/9]
1️⃣🏠 The most important message from the Government is that you should stay where you are living at the moment, in your University term-time accommodation.

[3/9]
2️⃣🎓 The Government guidance is that universities should continue to offer blended learning (a blend of in-person & online learning), and this will remain our focus.

However, we have been asked to move more teaching online where possible during the lockdown.

[4/9]
3️⃣😷 Practical face-to-face teaching on campus will continue. Libraries and specialist learning facilities or equipment will also remain open for use.

[5/9]
4️⃣📅 Where there are any changes to your timetable, your course tutors will make you aware. You can also contact your course tutor if you have questions or concerns.

[6/9]
5️⃣💙 We know this news is causing students a lot of stress and anxiety. If you're struggling, we urge you to speak to someone now: go to the Get Support tile on MyGlos, or contact the Helpzones Team on 01242 714444 or [email protected].

[7/9]
You should note new rules on socialising:

❌Do not socialise indoors with people outside of your household
✔️You can exercise outdoors with 1 person from another household
❌Avoid travelling in & out of your area
✔️You can travel to visit essential shops like supermarkets
