Drop-in sessions on campus with City of York Council and Citizens Advice

You may be aware that we have previously run EU settlement scheme support sessions with the City of York Council and Citizens Advice Bureau.

As these were well received we have arranged for City of York Council and Citizens Advice Bureau to come onto campus again on 12 March to assist University of York staff and students and their families1 with applications to the EU Settlement Scheme.

We hope you will take advantage of this session on site as we continue in the transistion period until 31st December 2020.

Individuals will need to complete their own applications, but City of York Council will scan and verify ID and Citizens Advice York will offer full help and support to applicants, including help to complete the application form and advice on issues which may arise during the application process. A representative from HR will also be present to answer any queries.

There is no need to book an appointment and staff, students and family members are all able to drop-in.

When are the events taking place?

  • Date: March 12 (Thursday)
  • Time: 10am to 4pm
  • Location: Piazza building, PZA/023 on East campus

What you will need:

For those wishing to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme, you must bring with you:

  • a valid mobile telephone number (you will be sent a SMS text generated PIN number during the appointment in order to proceed)
  • a valid email address
  • a valid biometric passport (EU citizens)
  • a biometric residence card (non-EU citizen family members)

Please note: this service does not currently accept national identity cards or non-biometric passports.

Devices will be available on the day for scanning ID, however we would also like to remind you that you are able to borrow an Android phone from IT Services for the purpose of making an application at any time.
