News : Advice for students currently stranded abroad

Date: Apr 19, 2010

Monday 19 April - 6pm BST
As air travel continues to be paralysed by the huge cloud of volcanic ash, the University is advising students who are stranded overseas because of flight cancellation to contact the Student Life Directorate.

A single point of contact has been set up within Student Life Directorate. Students unsure of what to do should contact +44 (0)161 295 0023 or email advice@salford.ac.uk

Students who are stranded overseas and are unable to hand in assessed work by submission deadlines during the period of travel disruption will need to submit a Personal Mitigating Circumstances (PMC) form. For more information see http://policies.salford.ac.uk/display.php?id=305.

Personal Mitigating Circumstances forms will need to be accompanied by evidence of their disrupted travel arrangements. Students should submit their PMC form as soon as possible on return to the University.

Would students please note that the University’s insurance does not cover students unless you are on a University field trip or its equivalent.
