Connect to Protect

UCL’s Connect to Protect closed down at 4pm Friday, 13 May 2022, and we are no longer reporting of case numbers on the UCL website.  

Students should continue to report COVID-related absences as they would any other illness to their personal tutor and/or department. Students can self-certify for Extenuating Circumstances for a limited number of occasions – for more details see the self-certification policy for 2021/22. 

Staff should continue to report COVID related absences as they would any other illness to their line manager and register sickness absence on myHR as usual.
