COVID restrictions eased on campus from 19 July

In line with Government guidance, some restrictions on campus will be relaxed. This will include restrictions on social distancing and one-way systems – please bear with us while signage is removed from buildings. 

Your health and wellbeing are paramount, and we are working hard to make sure all our buildings and spaces are as safe as possible.  We are continuing to follow UK Government guidance, as well as the expertise of our researchers, including specialists in health, education, human behaviour and infection prevention. We are keeping a number of measures to protect you and the wider UCL community on campus. 

Unless you are exempt, we expect everyone on campus to wear a face covering in indoor spaces, including in lectures, seminar rooms, study spaces, offices and labs. 

Please continue to be respectful and considerate of others while on campus, and look out for people wearing a Sunflower lanyard (for those with invisible disabilities) or taking part in the Please Give Me Space initiative (for those who feel anxious or uncomfortable about social distancing coming to an end). Please continue to abide by the Community Commitment to Protect each other and be considerate to people’s needs. 

You’ll still need to book study spaces in the library and wear a face covering in library spaces – find out more on the library website. 

When you are on campus, please remember:  

• You must stay at home if you feel unwell;
