Glasgow University Students Representative Council

University of Glasgow students,

The last few weeks have seen more upheaval and change than Universities have faced for a generation.

UPDATE [24/03/20]: Given that the UK is now effectively under lockdown - we would advise any students who wish to take part in this campaign that they do so with extreme caution, following all government guidelines where possible. If you're going out shopping for necessities, you could still pick up a few things for your vulnerable neighbours, but please don't flout the lockdown rules as they are in place to save lives.

What is the settlement scheme?

• If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, you and your family can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021. If your application is successful, you’ll get either settled or pre-settled status, depending on how long you have lived in the UK.
• The EEA includes the EU countries and also Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
• You may be able to stay in the UK without applying - for example, if you’re an Irish citizen or have indefinite leave to remain.
• You can apply now if you meet the criteria. The deadline for applying is 30 June 2021 (assuming the UK leaves with a deal).
• If the UK leaves the EU without a deal you will need to be living in the UK before it leaves the EU to apply. The deadline for applying will be 31 December 2020.
• It’s free to apply to the scheme.
