Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been following Government and Department for Education guidance as it emerges, looking at how it applies to all aspects of our University activities in order to keep our students and staff safe.
If you are a Staffordshire University student studying with one of our Collaborative Academic Partners, please contact the institution in question for information about local arrangements.

COVID-secure measures
Face coverings
Our University policy no longer requires you to wear a face covering in any of our University or Students’ Union buildings. Face coverings are a personal choice and we would expect that everyone is understanding of individual preferences.
Please be mindful that Public Health guidance remains in place suggesting individuals can still reduce the risk of catching and passing on COVID-19 by wearing a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces, where you may come into contact with people you do not normally meet.
COVID-19 testing
The Government and Department for Education no longer requires all students and staff in education settings to test twice a week using lateral flow tests. Testing regularly is now a matter of personal choice, although as you would expect, we would actively encourage students and staff to continue with a regular testing regime, in order to look after their own health and help protect each other.
Report a positive result
If you have a positive test result, or are displaying COVID-19 symptoms, you should continue to report any positive COVID-19 cases via our self-declaration form.
