Face Coverings on Campus
From Monday 28 February, there will no longer be a requirement for face coverings in classrooms and teaching spaces including workshops and labs, where 1m distancing is in place.
Where 1m distancing can’t be observed e.g. our salon learning spaces which require close contact, then face coverings will still be required.
This decision has been taken in line with Scottish Government Guidance for schools and ensures a consistent experience for all our students, including those attending campus for school partnership provision.
Face coverings will still also be required in all communal spaces, corridors, our Learning Resource Centres, and when moving around campus.
Only Scottish Government exemptions will be accepted.
From Monday 21 March, face coverings will no longer be required on campus, however, can be worn if preferred.

All existing rules relating to maintaining distancing, hand hygiene, etc. remain in place and must be adhered too.
Things to consider when wearing a face covering include:
• Do not share face coverings with others
• Ensure your hands are clean before putting on or removing a face covering
• Ensuring your face covering fits properly and covers your mouth, nose and chin
• Store your face covering in a washable, sealed bag or container
• Avoid placing your face covering on surfaces
• Wash re-usable face coverings after each day of use
• Disposable face coverings should be disposed of safely and hygienically in a general waste bin
