Advice and support

Regent's campus is currently accessible only to students already living in Reid Hall, in accordance with Government guidelines.

When it is safe to do so, we will begin to open the campus gradually, so students can once again access campus facilities, computer labs, the Library, catering outlets, Reid Hall accommodation and creative programme facilities. 

When this happens, you will also be able to attend one-to-one tutorials with members of your programme staff, which can be booked face-to-face, or conducted remotely – whichever you would prefer.

All access to facilities will be in a COVID-safe and secure way, following social distancing measures, and with some restrictions and booking processes in place.

When booking we will ask you to confirm either a negative COVID-19 test result, or that you have tested positive in the last 90 days and completed the required isolation period. You must be able to share evidence of either when checking in with Reception. This aligns with new Government requirements.  

While campus access is currently restricted, we've implemented a number of safety measures to help minimise the spread of COVID-19, and to ensure the safety of students and staff.

These include one-way systems indoors, rigorous cleaning and guidance on face coverings. 

Please read our Guide to Minimising the Spread of COVID-19 for more information. We'll continue to follow government guidelines closely and make updates as needed.

Reid Hall remains open only for current residents who needed to stay on campus.

To further prevent the spread of COVID-19 as students across the UK return to studies, the UK Government requires every student returning to campus to have had – and be able to show evidence of – a negative COVID-19 test, or to have tested positive within the last 90 days and have completed required isolation. 

We have partnered with the University of London and NHS Test and Trace to make free COVID-19 tests available to Regent's students. 

The test, intended for students who do not have symptoms of COVID-19, is available at UoL's Student Central on Malet Street in Camden (WC1E 7HY) until 31 March, 2021. You can book one or two tests, the second three days after the first. Regent’s advises you to book two tests.

Book a test.

 If you’re travelling to England you must either quarantine in the place you’re staying or in a managed quarantine hotel for 10 days because of coronavirus (COVID-19). What you need to do depends on where you travel in the 10 days before you arrive in England.

Students should primarily follow any advice and instruction from your host university regarding COVID-19. If the UK Government issues updated travel advice for any of the countries you are in, we will inform you of this, but you should also be proactive in monitoring developments and Government advice in your host country. If you are concerned, you can always get in touch with the Regent’s Student Hub.
