Still looking for accommodation?

If you still do not have a place to live for this academic year, we have some rooms available that you are able to apply for. Visit our accommodation waiting list page for more information and contact details.  

Report a repair

If something is broken or needs repairing in your residence, you need to report a repair as outlined in your residence guide. This will help us to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

Request to move room

The opportunity to request a room transfer will open on 18th October. In the meantime please seek support from Residential Life. 

Issues accessing the Accommodation Portal

If you are experiencing technical issues with the Accommodation Portal, visit our Accommodation Portal help page for guidance.

Help and support in your residence
