Student Hub
From Tuesday 1 April the ground floor of Holgate will undergo refurbishment, in preparation for the launch of our new Student Hub in the summer. This is a new support and information service which will improve your learning journey with us.
You can learn more about the Student Hub on our website.
Holgate will remain open during the refurbishment works. However, specific parts of the ground floor may be closed for short periods and access routes to some areas of Holgate may be subject to change.
The Holgate Information Services desk is closed throughout the refurbishment work, but you will be able to get help and support from our team at the Information Services desk in Fountains Learning Centre.
For students with on-campus appointments with Wellbeing, Welfare or Disability you will be able to check in at the desk in Fountains Learning Centre or by phoning 01904 876 696.
If you would like to attend a daily Wellbeing Drop-in you can register at the Information Services desk in Fountains Learning Centre.
