    • students with work placements already confirmed for Wednesday 27th September should continue to attend as required.
    • students on part-time courses which have already started – these classes will be delivered online.
    • students already enrolled on part-time and evening classes which were postponed from last week and due to take place on Wednesday 27th September, are advised that many of these classes will not take place - unless you are contacted by the College and advised of arrangements. If you have not been contacted, your class will not take place.
    • College buildings will open at 8.15am. Access to classrooms will not be available on Wednesday 27th September.

    • Student requiring access to IT resources can do so via College libraries or Careers Academy areas. College FoodHub canteen services are also available on Wednesday 27th September.

    Note: Due to the nature of this strike action, the College is unable to determine whether teaching of all classes will take place online. Please log-in to your class using your College credentials, and if your Lecturer has not logged-in within 15 minutes of the lesson start time, then please be advised that the lesson will therefore not take place.
