FAQs

• Masks - From Saturday 27 February masks no longer need to be worn indoors or outdoors as long as social distancing can be maintained.  Masks must be carried at all times. 

• Room capacity  - Has returned to normal (pre-COVID limits).

• Blended learning  - Many courses are now being delivered via blended learning (a combination of remote and face to face delivery). If this applies to your course, your standard timetable will apply.

If you do not have a suitable device, desktop computers and laptops are available at The Gordon Library. You can enquire about on-campus laptop loans via Library Chat or just ask at the Library. Laptops may also be available for use through your course learning areas. Please ask your teachers about availability.
