We understand that the current situation is difficult and that you may have concerns about your future studies and the impact of coronavirus.
Richmond is here for you and is ready to welcome you in the Fall. We’re working hard to develop an innovative, world-class learning and student experience and we thought it would be useful to share more details.
Here’s a reminder of the key dates for Fall 2020 for new students starting their programmes with Richmond*
- Monday 21 September – Virtual orientation commences
- Monday 28 September – Online teaching commences
- Monday 26 October – On-campus orientation commences

We are guaranteeing that all prospective students will be able to start their degree programme at Richmond at the end of September 2020 with a blended combination of online and on-campus teaching.
Dependent on guidance from the UK government, if students are required to self-isolate in their accommodation for 14 days on arrival into the UK, we will ensure that all students are safe and well cared for both upon arrival and throughout the 14 days of self-isolation. Please note that students are required to complete self-isolation before on-campus orientation commences on 26 October.
For more information regarding Fall 2020 including further details on online learning please visit our dedicated webpage.
Richmond’s online approach to teaching, learning and assessment is led by Dr Katya Toneva, a highly experienced education professional, who said:
“My aim as Digital Learning Officer is to ensure that the high standards of teaching excellence at Richmond apply just as much to the online teaching experience for students as they do in-person.”

Blackboard Course – Home Page Showcase
Blackboard is our virtual learning environment used across all our programmes at Richmond, encompassing course materials, assignment submissions, tests/quizzes, and assessments.
Our video conferencing software, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, enables faculty to organise ‘virtual classroom’ sessions with students, wherever they are located. These can be interactive seminars, tutorials or meetings with students.
