2 Dec 2024 - A long time until your next loan instalment?

Welcome to your undergraduate student news summary of key things happening this week.

Due to building work to the entrance of Sally Baldwin D block, the Student Hub reception will be closed between 16-20 December 2024. You will still be able to contact the Student Hub via phone, email, Live Chat or scheduled appointments but you won’t be able to drop-in that week. 

To reduce costs and lower our carbon footprint this winter, some buildings on campus will be closed from 14 December 2024 to 5 January 2025. Facilities, catering outlets, the Library and many other areas will remain open for those staying in York over the winter break.
