Whitecliffe campus access during Alert Level 3
From our last update, we confirmed that Whitecliffe on-campus teaching will resume after the 1st of June. This decision was intended to keep us all safe.
The exact date of return to campus-based and low residency programme teaching will be confirmed over the coming 2-3 weeks. This can only happen once the COVID-19 Alert level moves to Level 2 or 1.
Following the move into COVID-19 Alert level 3, we are giving a small number of academic staff and students restricted access under strict conditions if materials, resources and equipment need to be collected. This only applies to course and programmes requirements that cannot be met through remote teaching.
Alert level 3 Arrangements
If you are required to access campus over the next couple of weeks our Academic staff will be in touch to confirm arrangements. To maintain physical distancing requirements you will be given a day and a time to visit campus. If for whatever reason you are unable to make your confirmed time please contact your Regional Manager as soon as possible so your slot can be made available to another student.
If you have questions about specific arrangements please don't hesitate to get in contact.
