Coronavirus: Updates and advice
We’re closely monitoring the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 to ensure we're doing all we can to help our current students
Please follow the advice issued by the University which is being updated regularly:
House rules
Communication with the GSD Office
To help keep us all safe you are strongly encouraged to email or telephone the GSD Office. Most Inquiries will be dealt with in this way by default, as the GSD Office is now closed to the public. Read more about speaking to the GSD Office.
The Ramphal Building
Please do not come into the Ramphal Building unless you have teaching there.
Keeping each other safe
f you need help or have questions/concerns, please ask: we’re all here to support each other. The Directors of Student Experience are available every day in the Virtual Common Room at 1-1:30 pm (UK time).
Teaching preferences
In order for us to consider our overall provision going forward, we are asking those of you who are currently registered in a class with a blended approach (with both online and in-person teaching) to tell us your preferences on how you would prefer to be taught in your classes over the rest of Term 1. Please fill out the form here.
Feedback
As these are unprecedented times, we are doing our best to accommodate your needs and support you as well as possible. For this reason, we would like to conduct a survey to get your feedback about how Term 1 has gone so far. Please fill in our survey here.
