Coronavirus advice and support

Welcome to our coronavirus (Covid-19) information pages. Here you can find the answers to frequently asked questions for both current and prospective residents, and links to further information, 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 now in a national lockdown from 5 January 2021. 

There will be no in-person teaching on campus until Monday 22 February, at the earliest (except for a small number of exempt subjects). Read 'Changes to teaching in Term 2 in view of Government guidance' further information.

If you are staying at home, UCL will reimburse you for the time that you have not resided in UCL Accommodation over the winter closure period and up to Sunday 21 February 2021. This will be credited to your Portico account. For more information see the relevant FAQs pages linked below. 

If you are returning to term-time accommodation for Term Two, you are encouraged to get tested at UCL’s Asymptomatic COVID-19 Testing Facility, which will be operating from 4 January. Find out more about how to get tested.
