The University has set up a Swine Flu Helpline for any students who have swine flu or are caring for someone else with the virus. 

Jenni Grundy, Head of Student Support & Experience, says: "Please don't attend university if you think you have flu, but do call us and let us know so that we can give you further information and support." 

She adds: "And don't forget that a record of your call may help you claim mitigation if your illness impacts on your ability to hand in a piece of work, or to attend an exam. Retrospective claims for mitigation due to swine flu, but without supporting evidence, will not be accepted."

The number for students to call is 01273 876500 (6500 from an internal number or 29992 from University residences).
