Monday 19 September will be a bank holiday across the UK

Along with the rest of the UK, the University is marking the sad passing of Her Majesty The Queen by recognising Monday 19 September as a bank holiday for all colleagues.

No teaching or events will be taking place on our campuses and certain buildings will be closed. Study spaces, including the University Library and James McCune Smith Building, will remain open – colleagues and students can check the UofG Life app for the latest details.

To give colleagues an opportunity for reflection, the University Chapel will be open for quiet contemplation on Friday 16 September between 16:00-17:00.

If staff or students wish to sign a Book of Condolence, Glasgow City Council has arranged one in the City Chambers. Details can be found here: Her Majesty The Queen 1926-2022 - Glasgow City Council.
