Hey Aston students!

The festive season is almost here, and while we’re all gearing up for a well-deserved break, we want to make sure you’re prepared for our upcoming closure. Here’s the lowdown:

📅 Key Dates:

Last Day Open: Friday, 20th December 2024

Reopening: Monday, 6th January 2025

During this time, the SU building will be closed, and services like the Advice, Aston Student Homes, Student Activities, Union Shop, and all our social spaces will be taking a holiday too. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back with some essential resources to help you through the break.
