Coronavirus advice and support

Find information on coronavirus, for both current and prospective UCL Accommodation residents, and links to further information, FAQs, resources and support.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding during this difficult and unsettling time as we work to support our residents, colleagues and prospective residents. These pages are updated regularly, but please check the Public Health England website for the latest official advice as the situation is changing rapidly. 

Latest

England is still operating under Coronavirus restrictions, which limit many usual activities. 

If you’re intending to return to campus, the Government’s advice is to get tested before you travel, and then twice a week when you return. We recommend that you take your first few tests at our on-site testing facility so that we can be on hand to help you should you need it – details are below. After that you may prefer to continue using the on-site facility or to use home-test kits.

If you’re living and working on campus, you should be getting a COVID_19 test twice a week. You can order tests online, or get tested at UCL’s asymptomatic testing facility at Bidborough House. 

The Metropolitan Police has advised UCL that they are actively enforcing fines for people breaking the law, including £800 fines for illegal parties and gatherings. Find out more on the Living in Halls page.
