Spring break opening hours at CSM

We hope you all have a well-deserved rest over the Spring break. Here is your need-to-know information about accessing our buildings and contacting staff members during this time.

Contacting staff

College academic, technical and support staff may take a break over this period. We hope you will too! This may mean that it will take longer to come back to your enquiries throughout this time. So thank you for your understanding.

If you need urgent medical or mental health support during the holidays, please refer to our helplines and emergency support page (which includes information about how to access support when the university is closed – see ‘support outside of working hours’).
