Face coverings on Campus

Please be aware that this information was shared with students by email and correct at the time of sending. For the latest Covid-19 guidance, please visit our coronavirus webpages: www.wlv.ac.uk/coronavirus. If you are a student who has a query or needs support, please log a helpcall with ASK@WLV in e:Vision (www.wlv.ac.uk/evision).

Face coverings are now mandatory in all parts of our campuses; this includes communal areas (for example stairwells, corridors and when entering/exiting a building) as well as in teaching spaces, which includes classrooms, lecture theatres and practical rooms.

When on campus, please ensure you have a face covering with you to wear.

Please be mindful that there may be some staff and students who are exempt from wearing a face covering due to a disability. This includes hidden disabilities, such as anxiety and autism. There is not a requirement for people to prove that they are exempt from wearing a face covering, and students can choose to communicate their exemption in their way. Please be sensitive to this.

Everyone must understand that face coverings do not replace good hand hygiene and other safety precautions. This includes effective hand washing, the use of hand sanitisers where soap and water are not readily available, and social distancing.

The University continues to closely monitor Government guidance on the wearing of face-coverings on campuses.

Please view the Road to Reopening @WLV Life on Campus FAQs for more information on how the University has prepared for the academic year. 

For more information please contact the Corporate Communications Team.
