  • Ensure continued access to University services, facilities and Canvas.
  • Retain access to your supervisors, academic and administrative staff.
  • Review and agree to our on-campus safety guidelines.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to work differently, and everyone's safety is at the heart of what we do. We will meet the requirements for social distancing on our campuses in the new academic year, and to achieve this; we are teaching our courses using blended learning.

Blended learning involves studying using a mix of recorded lectures, virtual learning resources, interactive activities and face-to-face teaching on campus and online. 

Students will be able to access their learning resources through Canvas, which is the University's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). On-campus activities will include seminars, group discussions and practical activities, for example, labs and performances.

The University will reopen its facilities for all students including the library, study spaces, PC areas, catering and the Walsall campus gym following the Christmas break on Monday, 4 January 2021.
