Support and services over the summer break

Libraries 

Library opening hours will remain as normal over the summer, except on 29 June when most (other than the Student Centre and Science Library) will be closed. You can find opening hours for all the libraries on our website; please check before visiting to find out the latest service updates.

Student Support and Wellbeing 

UCL Student Support and Wellbeing remains open to students throughout the summer period. Make an appointment with the Disability, Mental Health and Wellbeing team to access support. Outside of working hours, students can contact UCL 24/7 Student Support Line on +44 (0) 808 238 0077, for free online and telephone counselling support. The Support Line is a free, confidential wellbeing support service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Find out more on the Student Support and Wellbeing website.

The remainder of Student Support and Wellbeing services (including Student Psychological and Counselling Services and the Student Enquiries Centre) remain open, and you can contact them through askUCL. 

For emergency support, including a mental health crisis, always phone 999 (or an equivalent number overseas) or make your way to the accident and emergency (A&E) department at your local hospital. The closest A&E to UCL is at UCLH, while you can also contact Camden and Islington's Mental Health Crisis Assessment service by calling their support line on 020 3317 6333 or visiting their hospital site in St Pancras. Both are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Samaritans can be contacted in the UK on 116 123 at any time, and everything discussed is confidential.
