Dear Students,

We understand the news this morning regarding the Leak in the building on the Tooting Campus, which resulted in considerable disruption to several key areas of the building. We recognise the impact this may have had on your plans today, particularly for those who are due to undertake examinations.

🛑 Summary of the Incident

The leak has rendered several rooms and floors, including designated examination spaces, temporarily inaccessible. Consequently, some scheduled examinations have been either relocated or postponed. Affected students may have received direct communication from the University outlining alternative arrangements.

We know the distress this may cause, particularly during a critical period in the academic calendar. Please be assured that the welfare and academic progression of students remains of paramount importance to us.

As this is a live event and the university will continuously provide information, the Students' Union is here to help you during this difficult time.

📅 Implications for Examinations.

If your assessment has been impacted, you will be contacted to confirm revised schedules and venues.

In the meantime, we advise that you:

• Regularly check your university email and Canvas for further updates.
• Direct any exam-related concerns to your course team or the student support office
