The University is pleased that this morning (11th November) the Government announced its commitment to enable students to return home for the Christmas break.
We will now be working through the guidance as soon as we receive the details from the Department for Education and in the next few days we will be providing all you need to know to plan your return home if you wish to do.
All our students have their individual needs and we are fully aware that while the Government has announced a ‘window of return’ between the 3rd and the 9th of December they have also said that, for some courses where there are placements or other professional body requirements, students may remain and complete their studies as necessary and return home after that.
We are aware that for some international students flights may be outside of this stated window and again students should not worry. We will work with you to ensure you can return home as planned. We are also aware that some students live in their family home and commute regularly into the University. Again this remains entirely appropriate.
For those students who wish to remain in Lincoln over the break, of course, this is not a problem.
We will be in touch with specific details as soon as we have them but we want to reassure you we will do all we can to enable you to fulfil your plans for the end of term.
