Information for safe return to campus.
We are committed to providing high standards of education and training in a safe environment for all our students.
During the Easter break, please continue to regularly test yourself at home as this is the best way to keep yourself, friends, family, teachers and other staff safe. Remember to pick up some test kits from Reception or Student Services and to test yourself before coming back to college for the new term.
Don’t forget, you must not come to college if you are self-isolating, if you have any Covid-19 symptoms or if you test positive. Please email covid19@ncclondon.ac.uk to report a positive test result. You can also pick up self-test lateral flow kits near to your home. To find a location, click here.
You must not come into college if you:
- have Covid-19 symptoms and/ or a positive result
- are self isolating
- are shielding because you are extremely clinically vulnerable and have a shielding letter from your GP
We are committed to providing high standards of education and training in a safe environment for all our students. This means, when we return to campus, our students will have a normal college experience as far as possible, in line with Government guidance.
