To relax and refocus, it is really important to take the time to have a break. 

If you need to leave your desk for more than a few minutes, please use the "Take A Break" software (icon on your desktop), which will lock your PC with an onscreen countdown for 40 minutes.  You will be advised to save your work.  This will show other students that you are coming back.  If you do not come back, the software will log you out.

Making sure you eat well and stay hydrated is important. 

Vending machines are available on the ground floor of the libraries.

Every year, we open 24 hour for a period of 8 weeks at all libraries.  Please check our full opening hours Opening Hours - LibCal - University of Greenwich.

Safezone is the university's mobile app that allows all students and staff to alert, contact and directly speak to the Security team in the event of an emergency.

If you or someone else ever need assistance in an emergency, simply tap the alert button and the Security Control Room will be immediately notified and your location will be shared with them. Using your location and personal profile, the Security team can respond immediately to your specific needs.Once an alert is opened, you can also either call or direct message a Security guard. If possible and safe to do so, you can provide further details on what you need and how they can best help. 

SafeZone uses geofencing to cover every campus and halls of residence. As long as your phone is connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data, there is now a simple and clear way of getting help wherever you need it.
