Vaccine registration
The University strongly encourages all staff and students to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including having a booster vaccination when offered. Full details of the Scottish vaccination programme, including the vaccination booking forms, is on the NHS Inform website.

Lateral Flow Device Testing
The University encourages all staff and students to undertake regular LFD testing for coronavirus. In line with Scottish Government recommendations, testing should be undertaken before any mixing with people who are not part of your household. This includes social and work/study mixing. The University expects all staff and students to undertake LFD testing before accessing campus.
Kits are available at multiple sites across our campuses and are also available via mail order. Staff and students are reminded that LFD tests are for asymptomatic testing only. Anyone with symptoms should self isolate and book a PCR test, then report their symptoms to the University.
