The College Shop is open to students every day and provides refreshments, drinks and hot food.

All students are required to carry their College ID card and wear their College identity lanyard.
This helps the College maintain a safe environment and allows staff to identify students and visitors on campus.
Students receive their ID card as part of the enrolment process. If there is a problem with a student’s ID card or lanyard, they should speak to a member of staff.
Students are provided with an IT account when they enrol at College.
College computers provide access to the internet and email, and students can also use the College’s Wi-Fi facilities.
Students are expected to use College IT systems responsibly. Internet and email use on College equipment and the Eduroam Wi-Fi is monitored, and misuse may result in restrictions being placed on a student’s account or further action.
Students are expected to have their mobile phones switched off during lessons, tutorials, lectures and talks unless a member of staff specifically asks them to use their phone as part of the learning activity.
Students are responsible for the safety of their own phones, and the College cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage.
Mobile phones are not permitted in examinations.
Itchen also has an on-site nursery which is open to the public as well as students and staff.
We want students to feel comfortable, supported and able to make the most of their time at Itchen.
Alongside their teaching spaces, students have access to areas where they can study independently, meet friends, eat and take a break during the College day.
The Student Centre and wellbeing hub also provide spaces where students can access support when they need it.
