You can book a free test here.

You will remember that taking a test is part of the step-by-step process the University has set out in order to support Government guidance for Winter Departures.

Even though you may feel perfectly fine, it is possible you may have the virus without any symptoms. In taking a test you will be helping to limit the spread of the virus and reducing the risk of infecting friends, loved ones and others as you leave campus. 

There are two different types of asymptomatic tests available at the University. The website above sets out the differences between each test, how many you need and when they are available. Please note that you should only book a test through the University if you are asymptomatic (not showing any symptoms of the virus).

When booking a test make sure that this doesn’t compromise your ability to complete an online assessment or engage with a required face-to-face or online session.

If you receive a negative result continue your departure plans – please see information on Test and Protect webpages. If you receive a positive result, you should take an NHS test, also known as a confirmatory Pillar 2 test, and will need to isolate in your accommodation for at least 10 days. You must also notify the University under the Isolate, Notify, Test process so you can be supported during this period.

Please also remember to inform us of your winter break plans by completing the survey sent to you by your halls or off-campus teams. This is essential in helping to manage a staggered and safe departure for those who have chosen to return home for the break as well as ensuring we have support and welfare in place for those who remain in Nottingham.

We will be writing to all PGR students later to this week to update them on plans.

Thank you in advance for your support and goodwill. By acting thoughtfully and responsibly, we can all help keep our community and loved ones safe.
