Continuing your studies with us in September? Apply for your 2026/2027 student finance funding by 21 June to ensure your funding is in place for the start of the next academic year. Applications after this date will still be assessed, but may result in delays to payments and can impact payment of bursary instalments. Any issues or questions, contact the Student Support and Advice team in the Student Hub.

Following the parade over the weekend, Pride Month events continue this week - featuring a range of activities including themed talks, an open mic, and our staff and student-led on-campus flag raising this Wednesday (3 June). 

We understand that unexpected events can have an impact on your studies, especially during assessment season. If things go wrong, you have options and trusted teams you can talk to. York SU’s Advice and Support team provide independent guidance and advice and help you explore if you’d like to apply for exceptional circumstances affecting assessment. 

As the warmer months approach, we encourage everyone to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of our campus, while doing our part to maintain and respect this space. If you are planning any outdoor activities, such as BBQs, be sure to check out our campus guidelines to enjoy the space safely.
