Personal electronic equipment on campus

Guidance for students using personal electronic equipment on campus

 

ℹ️Students can use campus sockets for personal devices like laptops and phone chargers. You’re responsible for making sure your equipment is safe to use.

Stay safe

  • Report any damaged plugs, sockets, switches, or cables to estates@herts.ac.uk.
  • Use the original charger for your device or one from a reputable brand.
  • Avoid cheap, unbranded chargers — they can cause fires, shocks, or injuries.
  • Use the correct adaptor for non‑UK plugs. Don’t force a plug into a socket.

If your building (e.g., labs or workshops) has its own rules, follow those instead.
