Student Safety Net

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the student experience and ability to reach full academic potential.

Overview

In April 2020, in response to the initial lockdown came into place and the speed at which students and staff were required to switch to online learning, the University of Plymouth introduced a Safety Net.

'Safety Net' in this context refers to a range of measures which are put in place by the University to ensure that your grades aren't negatively impacted by circumstances beyond your control, in this case the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Examples include, but aren’t restricted to - parents with children at home, home issues, general learning environment, COVID-related issues and bereavement.

This page documents the work undertaken by your Sabbatical Officer Team(s) on your behalf throughout the pandemic.
