If you’re a staff member who requires access to University buildings during this period, please keep in mind that you’ll need to comply with out of hours procedures as described on the Out of Hours Authorisation form.

When risk assessing an activity during these times, we’d ask you to keep in mind the following:

  • Can people working on their own undertake the activity safely?
  • Do you know how to contact University Security and do you have the ability to do so?
  • Is there a need to check in and out with a nominated contact or University security?
  • Check the availability of travel links. Public transport links such as rail and bus will operate on reduced schedules over the holiday period.

Security contact numbers:

Emergency         02380 593311                    3311 (internal phone)

Enquiries             02380 592811                   22811 (internal phone)

Library 

Some of our library sites will have limited opening hours during the winter break, offering a supported environment in which to study or work.

The Student Hub – 24/7 support for all students

The Student Hub will remain open throughout the break – contactable 24/7. If students have any issues or need support, they can speak to an advisor instantly via the online chat, by email or by calling 02380 599 599. Recap on this earlier SUSSED post to view the changes to the in-person walk in service during this period.

If you are in a student facing role and support students, you may wish to download The Student Hub email banner (signature) from the Student Communications SharePoint site.
