What Tier 2 coronavirus restrictions mean for UCL

A message from Professor Anthony Smith, Vice Provost (Education & Student Affairs) and Carol Paige, Democracy, Operations and Community Officer, Students' Union UCL about what the new restrictions mean for UCL students. London has moved to a Tier 2 (high) alert level for COVID-19 and additional restrictions have been introduced to help reduce the spread of infection. We are writing to you to explain the new guidelines and what they mean for students at UCL. Many of the restrictions are the same as before and campus remains open, with measures in place to keep everyone as safe as possible. It is essential that you follow all the Government guidelines to protect yourselves and other members of our community, including those who are at risk of becoming seriously ill if they catch coronavirus. What's staying the same. Our buildings and outdoor spaces remain open and face-to-face teaching is continuing as planned, in line with Tier 2 guidance, and you can still visit our libraries, study spaces and museums.
