Glasgow University Students Representative Council

Over the past few weeks we have been working intensely on your behalf to make sure that the issues relevant to students have been addressed.

See our latest update on what we have been doing for you below, or watch it as a video version.

We also did a live stream on 08.04 which should answer some of your coronavirus questions - view it here.

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.

The SRC has worked with the University of Glasgow to provide free sanitary products for all University of Glasgow students! Using a grant provided by the Scottish Funding Council we have made this available to help tackle period poverty on campus.
