Remote access

During this current climate, we want to ensure the health and safety of our students, staff and industry partners.

We understand many industry partners will be facing their own restrictions on in-person contact over the semester, but this situation will vary for each partner. Additionally, we understand some students may not feel comfortable traveling to your premises for a meeting during this time.

For these reasons, all planned meetings should have a remote access option to allow for student teams or industry partners who cannot attend in person. We suggest Zoom for such meetings, however you can use another platform if your organisation prefers (e.g. Skype, phone).

What is Zoom?
