Access to Informatics Forum

Information for Taught Students

The Informatics Forum has been classified as a “research-only” building by HMRC. This means that taught student access to the building is limited. However, because the building is in use 24*7 for 50 weeks of the year we can ensure fairly generous, but controlled, access to staff involved in teaching who are housed in the building. The rules are as follows:

• Taught students have access to the Informatics Forum from 10:00 to 13:00 Monday to Friday in Weeks 0–13 of Semester 1, Weeks 1–11 of Semester 2, and Weeks 1–5 of the April-May Exam Block.
• Outside of these weeks students will be able to access the Forum from 10:00 to 13:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
• Access to the Forum is possible at any time to attend seminars, talks or demonstrations.
• Throughout the year events involving students will take place in the Forum and you will be invited to attend these as usual.
• At all times there is space in the Teaching Areas in Appleton Tower for staff-student meetings to take place. This space is bookable through the ITO.
