Our priority is to maintain the safety of our students and staff while supporting academic progression and ensuring academic integrity.

We launched the College academic year in September with lessons delivered via a mixed model of face-to-face teaching on campus, combined with timetabled online lessons and activities.

Hartpury College students, have been provided with a full and robust weekly timetable of lessons, activities and independent learning. We are absolutely committed to delivering the highest-quality learning and student experience, enabling you to engage with your course effectively, in all eventualities.

To reduce the number of students on campus at any one time and allow for social distancing, you will receive face-to-face teaching on campus on approximately two to three days each week, alternating. Over the course of any two-week period, you will receive at least one face-to-face session for every module You will be expected to engage online on the remaining days, and our aim is for this to include live sessions, which will also be recorded for you to view.

We will also be making adjustments to class sizes in line with Government guidance for educational establishments.

The situation will be reviewed at October half-term, with the objective being to transition fully to face-to-face delivery as soon as Government guidelines allow.  However, we are mindful that this mixed model of online and face-to-face delivery may need to be in place for the full 2020/21 academic year.

We are confident that students will still be able to engage with their programme of study effectively, no matter what the circumstances, and students and parents should note that there will be no reduction or discount on transport, accommodation or, where applicable, tuition fees.

The fees for Hartpury managed accommodation and transport and, where applicable, for tuition, will remain as published for the 2020/21 academic year.  Students and parents should note that there will be no refunds or reductions available due to any potential changes in the mode of academic delivery.

To reduce the number of students on campus at any one time, you are initially likely to receive face-to-face teaching on campus on approximately two to three days each week. Over the course of any 2-week period, you will receive at least one face to face session for every module. You will be expected to engage online on the remaining days. Further details on how this will work will follow.

Sporting activities will all be in-line with government advice and public health guidance, as well-being of our students and staff is of paramount importance.

Following the very latest government advice, we have today (16/9/2020) reviewed and updated our approach, which we appreciate may differ to any previous advice or guidance you may have received.

Residential students may still move into their new accommodation on Hartpury campus, providing they are currently showing no symptoms of Covid-19 and/or have not been told to self-isolate.

Hartpury will be your new place of residence, and you will therefore be subject to any restrictions in this area (and of course national ones) rather than your current home.

Please ensure you consider any local restrictions should you wish to visit an area away from Hartpury, including returning home – it may be that you are not able to, and if you did, you may not be able to return to Hartpury campus until the restrictions are relaxed.

Any students travelling in daily to Hartpury from an area with local restrictions must follow local guidance, for instance in relation to travel.  Where guidance allows, students are able to attend providing they are currently showing no symptoms of Covid-19 and/or have not been told to self-isolate.

A list of the areas with local restrictions in place, updated by the government can be found here.

We have moved the start of the academic year back one week to the week commencing 21 September 2020. The new term dates can be found here.

We plan to deliver lectures online for current/returning Hartpury University undergraduate students** for the first four weeks of teaching (until 26 October 2020).

From 26 October, we hope to have a mixed-delivery model, with returning undergraduate students physically attending smaller group activities such as practical sessions and seminars.

It is likely large lectures will be online, in a similar way as to the last three weeks of the 2019/20 semester two delivery.

All Postgraduate programmes (for new and returning students) will be delivered from the point of enrolment using a mixed model of online and face-to-face sessions, where smaller group sizes allow.

Our priority is to maintain the safety of our students and staff while supporting academic progression and ensuring academic integrity.  While we appreciate that you may have many questions as to how this effects your individual programmes, please be patient while programme managers work through the detailed planning over the next few months.

We are absolutely committed to delivering a high-quality learning and student experience, enabling students to engage with their course effectively, in all eventualities.

We are working on specific details in relation to individual courses and students, including for those students who are shielding or vulnerable or may have challenges in travelling to England in time for enrolment.

We will continue to update our students via email, Moodle, and this website. 

We appreciate the patience and ongoing support of our student community during these challenging times for us all.

**This includes new Top Up students

Students will be charged the full published tuition fees for 2020 entry.

We are absolutely committed to delivering the highest-quality learning and student experience and will ensure that your degree is delivered in line with national expectations, quality and standards.

It is likely that large scale lectures will not be delivered face-to-face until government guidance allows, and a significant element of many programmes will be delivered online during the 2020/21 academic year.

Students’ contact days may also be reduced to ease the numbers on campus at any one time.

Students’ weekly timetables will therefore be a mixed model of online lectures and physical delivery.  More information can be found in the FAQ: ‘Will I be taught online or face to face from September 2020’ (current students)?

We are confident that students will still be able to engage with their programme of study effectively, no matter what the circumstances, and there will be no reduction or discount on tuition fees or accommodation fees.

Our hope is very much that Hartpury can return as close to normal as soon as possible. As a result, we are developing the timetable to contain as much face to face delivery as is safe to do so. From the specified date in October, we would therefore hope as many returners as possible are in attendance at Hartpury for those face to face sessions. Additionally as the restrictions in England reduce, the amount of online delivery will reduce further. Our recommendation would be that while we do appreciate that for some students this will not be possible (e.g. those with underlying medical conditions who are required to remain in isolation) and will be supporting them via live and recorded sessions, students are able to attend from the 26^th of October. Should an individual student feel unable to do this, they should have a chat with their programme manager to discuss options.

We are currently planning to teach new first year undergraduate** and all postgraduate Hartpury University students via a mixed-delivery model.

Our intention is to teach physically face-to-face whilst adhering to Government distancing guidelines, as much as is possible, balanced with online lectures where necessary.

You will have a weekly timetable which includes some face-to face delivery for your smaller seminars, tutorials and practical sessions. Alongside these, your larger lectures will initially be delivered online.

Many of your online sessions will be delivered live by your lecturer via MS Teams, enabling you to ask questions and interact with the session and with your fellow students. These sessions will also be recorded for you to revisit afterwards.

Our priority is to maintain the safety of our students and staff while supporting academic progression and ensuring academic integrity. We will continue to review the situation with the objective being to transition fully to face-to-face delivery as soon as Government guidelines allow.  However, we are mindful that this mixed model of online and face-to-face delivery may need to be in place for much of the academic year.

We appreciate your patience and support during these challenging times for us all.
