Coronavirus update

Updated: 2 days ago.

Updated: Friday, April 3rd 2020

All students and staff are studying and working remotely from home, following the latest government advice. All college buildings are closed except for City Campus nursery, which is currently supporting some children of frontline workers.

Be kind. Be safe. Be smart. Please stay at home, look out for one another, and continue to follow official advice about Coronavirus (Covid-19). 

Safeguarding and financial support:

• If students have any safeguarding or financial support concerns, please email safeguarding@sheffcol.ac.uk and financial-support@sheffcol.ac.uk.

Students and exams:

• All academic and vocational exams have been cancelled until further notice. It's really important that students continue with their studies, coursework and in-year assessments whilst we wait for more information on exams.

• We are seeking further guidance from the government on vocational, and other qualifications, and will provide that as soon as we can. For information from Ofqual, the exam and qualifications regulatory body, on GCSEs, A Levels and the EPQ, please click here.

Applicants for September 2020:

• If you have already attended an interview, then you will have an offer or have been provided with further advice and guidance. If you have not yet had an interview, then we will automatically be making course offers based on your predicted grades.

• If you've not already applied, please click here to find out more. Email admissions@sheffcol.ac.uk. Call 0114 2602600.
