In semester one we trialled new pre-exam and exam operational procedures in 26 York Street to respond to 2017/18 student feedback on the impact of activities unrelated to teaching, learning and exams on student use of study environments in the building at critical points in the academic year.
Following positive student feedback on these protocols in the end of 2018/19 semester one curriculum survey College’s Senior Management Team has agreed the following for semester two:
Building is in Pre-Examination Mode, Monday 1 April – Sunday 21 April 2019
- No tours in the building after 3pm, unless approved by the College’s Senior Management Team. Staff should provide notification of tours in 26 York Street to the Front of House Manager, Head Porter and Security 26YS (bryansheils@rcsi.ie; fdonegan@rcsi.ie; Security26@rcsi.ie).
- Catering will be restricted on Levels 3 and 4. Catering bookings will be moved as required to Level 5, Level -1 or to the Dispensary, Ground Floor. The Bookings team have been working to move groups and we appreciate your cooperation with them.
- Catering as normal on Level 5
