Holiday for Royal Wedding
The University has announced that most of the Institution will be closed on Friday 29 April, the day of the Royal Wedding, which the Scottish Government has declared a (non-statutory) bank holiday. The summer examination arrangements were in place before the announcement was made and need to continue on the 29th. Minimum services will be available on campus on that day: only staff who are required for examinations and their support will be required to work on the 29th. Arrangements are being made to keep the number of rooms/buildings open for examinations to the minimum, and there will be a need for student access to library and the associated catering operations to be available. Invigilation and academic support arrangements are being finalised by the Registry and the Colleges.
For all other staff, the day is an additional day's holiday.
For staff who need to work on the 29th, another day may be taken as holiday subject to the usual operational requirements: pay for time worked on the 29th will be at plain time. These arrangements have been consulted upon with the relevant trade unions.
