Using your Library

Due to the ongoing national restrictions access to our study spaces also continues to be restricted by the requirement to book and the requirement to operate a COVID-secure environment.

We all have a critical role to play in reducing the spread of COVID-19, by booking a study space you are reminded of our Campus Community Pledge which sets out the behaviours we expect from our community.

https://www.tees.ac.uk/sections/about/university/coronavirus_campus_pledge.cfm

Our staff have the authority to ask any student to leave the premises who is not following the COVID-secure access rules in operation, for example the need to observe social distancing and the use of face coverings. Action may be taken by the University under the Student Disciplinary Regulations for breaches which are considered to be Misconduct.

Those on campus should continue to get tested for COVID-19 twice a week at our on-campus test centre, based in Olympia. Please follow this link for more information https://www.tees.ac.uk/sections/about/university/coronavirus_testing.cfm
