These will be expanded and updated as more information becomes available, so check back in the future for updates. If your question has not been addressed and your enquiry is urgent, please contact us. Is Leicester College closed? Yes. In line with government guidance, we closed all of our buildings from 1 July 2020. Staff are continuing to work remotely. If you need to contact the College you can email info@leicestercollege.ac.uk, or if you have a specific query about your course you can contact your tutors directly. When will the College re-open? We are monitoring the local situation closely and will remain closed until we are advised that it is safe to do so by local and central government. Should I still come in to complete an assessment? No. All assessments are now postponed. If you have already been contacted to come into College you should not until we contact you again. General questions The College is closed but can we still contact you about enquiries? Yes absolutely – you can still contact us for general enquiries. Businesses that work with the College should email their business partner or contact us. Students should contact their tutor if they have any specific queries. I have recently booked to attend your Open Day in June – is this event going ahead? Unfortunately, we have cancelled all our events for March, April, May and June 2020. We are following government advice and schools and colleges have been told to close until further notice. The safety of our staff, students and visitors is our highest priority and minimising visitors to the College is one way we can do this. In place of our Open Day, Experience Day and Discovery Day, you will have access to an interactive, online event accessible from your homes. #DiscoverLC will give you the opportunity to find out more about Leicester College, our courses, facilities and more! Keep an eye on your emails, our website, and social media for more information about this event in the following weeks. I need some advice about what course to apply for. Is there anyone I can talk to? You can receive advice and guidance from the college’s award-winning and independent careers team for people under 19, and the National Careers Service for adults 19 and over are still able to give advice and guidance – just not in person. Click here to get in contact with the careers team. The College is closed but are your commercial services still available? Our taste restaurant, gym, serenity hair and beauty salons and Sue Townsend Theatre are all closed until further notice in line with the latest government advice. The safety of our staff, students and visitors is our highest priority and by avoiding unnecessary social contact at these venues we can help to keep people safe. We apologise for any inconvenience cause. When will the College re-open? We don’t know when we will be able to re-open. We continue to follow government advice and will remain closed until we are told that we are allowed to re-open. What steps is the College taking to maintain safeguarding measures while closed? Whilst many of our students are now being supported to learn remotely safeguarding is still an absolute priority. If you have any concerns about the safety of one of our students, please contact us on 07825 175729 and 0791 7370304. I am struggling being at home and away from College and my family and/or friends?
