In the event of an emergency students may be contacted via the International and Study Abroad Office during office hours, 9am-5pm Monday to Friday (an answering machine is in operation when the office is closed), or the Security Office in York House outside these times.
Please note that the International and Study Abroad Office is not normally able to contact a student direct, but has to telephone the school office or use the internal courier/ postal system, so it would be helpful if enquirers could also know the name of the school or residence of the student when asking at the main University switchboard.
