Open Days FAQ's
Here are some of the frequent things we're asked – but don't be afraid to get in touch if there's something else we can help you with. You can email us at visitus@chi.ac.uk |
A visitor in my group has a disability, how will this affect my visit?
Here at the University of Chichester we are committed to providing equal opportunities for all students and visitors. All subject stands and talks are located in wheelchair accessible rooms, and both campuses have wheelchair friendly campus tour routes. If you have concerns over accessibility, we suggest you contact one of our Open Day team on (01243) 812115 or 812116 or email visitus@chi.ac.uk
How do I arrange for disabled parking?
We have plenty of designated disabled parking spaces on both campuses, there is no need to book ahead.
How long does an Open Day take and what does it involve?
You are welcome to visit us at any time between 10am and 3pm, and we run a series of activities and talks throughout the day. We recommend visitors attend the talk on Studying at Chichester and Student Finance, along with a subject specific talk where available. We would also encourage visitors to talk to the academic staff at the subject stands on a one-to-one basis, join a campus tour and visit our accommodation blocks. Most visitors spend around 3 hours with us although there is no minimum or maximum time limit. Please consult the programme for details of the talks and activities taking place.
Which campus do I need to go to?
We recommend that visitors take the time to see both of our campuses, as there is a range of accommodation choices over each site. Read more about our accommodation allocation policy.
I am no longer able to attend the Open Day, how can I arrange another visit?
We have a number of different opportunities for you to visit the University, either prior to or post application. There may be another Open Day which is more convenient for you; if you would like to change your booking, please emails us as visitus@chi.ac.uk. If you are unable to attend another Open Day, we run regular Campus Tours of both campuses. If you are unable to attend either a scheduled Open Day or Campus Tour, please call the Schools Liaison Office on (01243) 812115 or 812 116 to arrange a personal visit.
