We are the Highlands and Islands Student Association, representing all UHI students!

Join a club or society you are interested in to find your community while studying at UHI.

You can search which events are available at your College using the search function. 

However, there are also some events open to ALL UHI students which are labelled ‘Digital Event’.

An update was provided by the First Minister on the 3rd of August 2021, confirming that all of Scotland will move “Beyond Level 0 ” on the 9th of August. Although restrictions are being eased it was also confirmed that the Scottish Government will retain the option of putting in place local measures and travel restrictions to manage any future virus outbreaks.

People who are symptomatic, including close contacts, should self-isolate for 10 days as per the NHS Scotland guidance. From the 9th of August, close contacts of 18 years of age or over who have been double vaccinated for more than 14 days or 5 - 17 year-olds, with no symptoms, will be able to take a PCR test and end self-isolation if the result is negative. No one who is self-isolating should attend any in person activity. 

If you have had any symptoms of Covid, you must not enter your campus to avoid spreading the virus.

The main symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are:

- a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)

- a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

If you have any of these symptoms, get a PCR test (test that is sent to a lab) to check if you have coronavirus and stay at home until you get your result, even if the symptoms are mild.

You can order tests to be delivered to your home using the Government Website.
