COVID-19 Updates

Last updated:  13/04/21

First Minister recently revelled a ‘roadmap’ to lifting restrictions across Scotland. While we remain optimistic for a phased return to ‘normality’, the government’s current strategy continues to promote social distancing and impose remote working for all, to minimise the spread of the Coronavirus. The health and well-being of our staff and students remains to be at the top of College priorities.

Key updates for students, staff & visitors:

• To that end, we can confirm that teaching will remain online for the remainder of Semester 2. Students are reminded to visit Moodle for latest updates regarding learning, teaching and assessment processes during this time. Should any questions arise, students should contact their academic advisors in the first instance.
• Student Welfare Officers are on hand for additional support. Further information can be found here.
• College staff members are adopting a phased return to work, in accordance with Scottish government guidance.
• The College will remain closed to visitors at this stage.

We will continue to communicate on a regular basis to provide guidance and advice, and to highlight any changes in our approach.

We would like to emphasise that the College will continue to operate in line with public health, UK and Scottish Government guidance. We encourage all students, staff, and surrounding community members to practise basic hygiene precautions and follow the advice given across various UK health care organisations- HPS COVID-19 website and NHS Inform.
