Study and wellbeing support during the coronavirus crisis

Our main coronavirus advice page for staff and students is updated every day with new information, so be sure to check back if you have any questions.

Online learning and assessment

As you know, face to face teaching has now been suspended for the rest of the academic year. You can find information on learning effectively online on UCL’s Continuing to learn remotely webpage.

Support from UCL Library Services
Although Library sites, including the Student Centre, are now closed, you can still access electronic books, articles and databases. All book loans have now automatically been extended until Friday 5 June 2020, so you don’t need to worry about returning books. Please check the Library website regularly for further updates.

askUCL

Our student enquiries system, askUCL, continues to be available throughout the Easter break. During UCL closure dates (Thursday 9 to Tuesday 14 April), staff will continue to monitor enquiries but will only be responding to urgent welfare issues. We’re also receiving a large volume of enquiries related to coronavirus, so please bear with us if it takes slightly longer than usual to get back to you.

Students’ Union UCL

Students’ Union UCL have started a Facebook group where you can keep up to date with clubs and societies, find opportunities to volunteer during the coronavirus crisis, and share information and messages of support.

UCL Careers

One-to-one appointments and many events are still going ahead remotely. The team are also in conversation with recruiters regarding their planning for internships, graduate roles, assessment centres and interviews. For weekly careers updates, online resources and guidance on how to get – or stay – career-ready, subscribe to the UCL Careers newsletter.

Wardens and Student Residence Advisers (SRAs)

Many students have now left our halls of residence, but if you’re still staying in our accommodation, please know that our Wardens and Student Residence Advisers (SRAs) remain on hand to support you throughout the Easter break and beyond.

And finally…

Please do continue to keep an eye on your UCL email during the holidays, so that you see updates from UCL.

Wishing you all a healthy and happy Easter break,
