Poor weather conditions have affected much of the UK, including Sussex and Hampshire. This has affected the day-to-day running of the University of Chichester, and this page is designed to provide students, staff and visitors with the latest information.
Monday 6 December
The University will be open for business as normal on Monday 6 December after the disruption caused by the snow last week. There has been no significant damage from the thawing snow.
Below freezing temperatures (-4c) are forecast overnight, and so the estates department will be out early on Monday morning to grit campus roads and paths.
As a result, students, staff and visitors are advised to wear appropriate clothing, including sturdy shoes or boots, and take extra care when moving between buildings, especially on the untreated roads and paths.
Students and staff should also take particular care if parking on either of the non-University car parks that the institution has use of during the week. (Chichester Rugby Club car park and the London Road car park in Bognor Regis)
The inter-campus bus service is expected to run as normal. This page will be updated if we are notified by the bus operator of any timetable changes because of the weather.
Student assignment deadlines
Information has been published by the Academic Quality and Standards Unit about what students should do if an assignment was due in on Thursday 2 or Friday 3 December. Students should check their University email accounts for information.
Taking care in adverse weather
The Highways Agency has published advice on how car drivers should be prepared during the severe weather, which can be accessed by visiting the Highways Agency website.
For those who travel by train, details of any amended rail services can be found on the Southern Railway website or the National Rail enquiries website.
