Before coming to campus for Semester 2, please refer to the guidance in these articles:
Essential information:
The UK government has advised that they will review the return of university students not already being taught on campus "by the end of the Easter holidays". Due to this deadline being close to the end of term and start of Examination period 2, King's has already communicated to these students that the remainder of the academic year will be taught online.
If you are unable to access resources from home then you can come to campus if you need to use a library, computer room or informal study space.

Important to know:

What equipment/ID do I need?
When returning to campus, you must bring:
1. A face covering - if you are exempt from wearing a face covering, you might want to collect one of our inclusive campus badges.
2. Your ID Card - you’ll need to carry your student ID card to gain access to our campuses.
- If you are yet to collect your ID card, you’ll need to book an appointment via our Welcome to King’s app to collect this. Take a look at our article how do I collect my student ID card for more information.
- If you need a replacement ID card, take a look at our article I've lost my ID card/and need a new ID card for the latest updates on how you can request a replacement ID card.
3. A laptop or a similar device
- Please ensure your laptop/device is fully charged before coming to campus, as some classrooms may not have additional power sockets.
- If you are yet to purchase a laptop for your studies, take a look at our article What equipment do I need for my studies for tips on buying a laptop that is suitable for your needs. If you might struggle to purchase a laptop, take a look at our article Student equipment loans during the 2020/21 academic year
4 Any additional equipment for your programme of study
- Depending on your chosen programme of study, you may need to purchase specific equipment for your studies. You can find out more information about the equipment you will need within your department/faculty handbook. A copy of your faculty/department handbook will have been sent to your King’s email address.
