What is the current outcome of the Corna virus in the UK?
Wales will follow a similar procedure to England, and students will be asked to travel no later than December 9 and will be offered a quick response test before departure.
Students from Scotland will be allowed to return home if they return two negative tests, taken five days apart. Those who test positive would have to isolate themselves before going home.
Course completion dates will be staggered to avoid a "big wave of movement" in December.
The Northern Ireland Executive has not announced any specific plans for the travel windows, but is also conducting mass testing of students.
What will happen in Januany?
Students taking practical courses like medicine or performing arts would return Jan.4-18, with other subjects initially taught online.
Other students would return between January 25 and February 7.
The other nations of the UK have yet to publish their plans. Scottish Universities Minister Richard Lochhead said lessons should be learned from the outbreaks at the beginning of the period in August.
If students drop out of college or school in private, their money will be refunded?
Most universities entered the new academic year by offering a combination of classroom and online teaching.
But some, including the top two in Manchester, had already suspended face-to-face teaching, while all universities will finish the fall semester online.
Even if you cannot attend the lectures in person, you are unlikely to get a refund if you can access your course online.
The government has said that students should not expect a refund "if they are receiving adequate online learning."
However, some MPs have called for students to receive discounts and the National Union of Students wants refunds if "the quality of learning is seriously affected."
Are there other reasons for a refund?
They may receive tuition online, but students also have the right to access other resources.
'' If they don't have access to libraries and research facilities, students would have a breach of contract claim, '' says Boz Michalowska-Howells, director of consumer law at Leigh Day attorneys.
Any savings universities make by not providing facilities or through government schemes should be passed on to students through fee reductions, she adds.
The higher education regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), says it "can and will investigate" if it believes universities have not taken all reasonable steps to protect the standards.
Some of the people who have been told to isolate themselves on short notice in the hallways are eligible for additional support.
