Keeping you safe on campus
The Centre for Open Learning has been teaching on campus since June 2021 and students and staff have assured us they feel safe and well supported due to the measures we have in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19:
Good Hygiene
The most effective way to prevent the spread is by practising good hygiene. Access to hand washing facilities (or to hand sanitiser) is available close to the entrance of buildings and all those entering are expected to use these facilities regularly. In addition, there are enhanced cleaning measures in place in all buildings.
Ventilation
Ventilation is one of our key control measures and all of our spaces have been checked by specialists meaning that any areas without sufficient ventilation are now out of use. Signage is in place in teaching areas reminding users to open windows and ventilate spaces.
Face Coverings
Scottish Government guidance states that there are no longer any physical distancing requirements or the requirement to wear face masks in higher education settings.
