Student COVID-19 Resilient Campus Access Protocol

Health and Safety is everyone’s responsibility: When you attend campus make sure you wear a face covering (which covers your nose and mouth), which will need to be worn whenever you are inside the university buildings. Face coverings in classrooms are mandatory due to 1 metre plus social distancing being applied in the classroom environment.

Attend campus only on your allocated days and respect the start and end times of your allocated sessions. If you are unable to attend, please notify your Programme Leader.

When you enter the buildings, you will walk through the temperature scanner make sure you take your face covering off before you walk through the scanner or it may not be able to record your temperature.

When you arrive on campus please use the hand sanitiser provided. As you move around campus use the hand sanitiser at regular intervals. Whenever you use the toilet facilities wash your hands for 20 seconds or more.

Adhere to the one-way system that has been implemented throughout campus. Please do not gather in groups and cause obstructions to other students moving around the campus.

Refrain from greeting your friends with physical contact such as hugs, fist pumps and handshakes.

Register with a Doctor (GP) in Bolton or near to your term time address as a priority to safeguard yourself and others around you. Don’t wait until you are ill or need a doctor. Register as soon as possible with a Doctor (GP).

Whilst in the University adhere to University Policy on Social Distancing, for classroom-based activities social distancing is 1 metre plus, classrooms have been laid out to support this and in other areas 2 metres social distancing will be in place. Please do not move any furniture.

If you see other students or staff without face coverings, there may be a very good reason for this. Not all disabilities are visible. Note: We advise people to respectfully challenge.

DO NOT attend campus if you are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, if you are displaying symptoms take a COVID-19 test. Follow NHS/HM Government advice on self-isolation for COVID-19.
