We are currently only providing face-to-face teaching for a small number courses.
For all students who are not studying on the courses included above, the UK Government has said that you should stay where you are if possible and study online until further notice. Please check your department page for more details.
When you are able to travel to campus, you should make the appropriate arrangements relating to quarantine if necessary. You should update your student portal when you arrive so that we can adjust your timetable to enable you to take part in small group face-to-face teaching, with social distancing.
If you are an East 15 Acting School applicant, please refer to East 15 website for updates on term information.
We will keep you updated as we receive further guidance and continue to review our plans in light of the changing context of the pandemic.
Travelling to campus and your CAS
If you are going to travel to campus and have been issued with a CAS, you must contact visaquery@essex.ac.uk if you will are unable to travel by the Latest Accept Date (LAD) stated in your CAS. For most applicants this date will be 6 April 2021, which is also the deadline by which students must arrive if they wish to benefit from the new Graduate Immigration Scheme.
If you need to return to campus
The UK Government guidance allows some exceptions to the limitations on travelling to our campuses. If you need access to University facilities to study or if it is better for you to be in your term-time accommodation for your health and wellbeing, you can arrive, but you should not use any facilities on campus or interact with other students until you have tested negative for COVID-19.
Our facilities such as libraries, study spaces and, on our Colchester Campus, a limited range of essential amenities remain open for students to use in a COVID-secure way.
