Having looked carefully at the range of accommodation available, students will be expected to make an on line application for their preferred choice of residence, giving one other alternative.  It should be understood that the selection process is done entirely centrally and the allocation of a place at a residence will not be controlled by the personal selection of a member of the hall staff.

Accepting your accommodation offer

From receipt of accommodation offer there is only a matter of a few days for students to register their acceptance on line. Make sure you respond before the given date.  No other offer of accommodation  will be forthcoming from the University of Bristol.  

Students coming to Badock Hall will be contacted by the Hall Student Support Administrator with details of the arrival arrangements.   Every student is allocated a timed slot for arrival on Sunday 30th September 2012.  Every student has 45 minutes to unload belongings and vacate the parking area to allow others with later appointments to offload.

Your acceptance of accommodation will indicate the type of room allocated to you and the fees to be paid with the final payment dates.  All new students need to read carefully the various documents in  the  Facts & Figures section and the basic hall rules to ensure they appreciate the way in which the Hall is governed. 

Booking car permits and secure bike storage at Badock Hall

There is no roadside parking outside the Badock grounds; in line with University regulations, if a resident does not obtain a Hall parking permit they should not bring a car to Bristol during their year in hall.

• Students wishing to apply for a parking permit (£150) must do so promptly, once they have accepted their place.  A parking permit application form (pdf, 75.5kb)and remittance must be posted together.  There area only 60 student spaces available.
• It should be noted that a parking permit only gives the holder rights to park at Badock Hall.  It is not valid at other halls of residence or in parking spaces near academic departments.
• A secure bike space reservation requires a £20 payment.  There are only 75 spaces available.  There are also numerous outside bike racks in the Quad area, available free of charge.
• No secure bike space will be reserved without a secure space application form (pdf, 76.0kb) and requisite payment being received at the same time.  All bikes must be individually insured.  Student Insurance does not cover these items.

Understanding the organisation at Badock Hall

• Do read carefully all sections of this web site, in particular the Badock Handbook (pdf, 2.4mb), so that you are  familiar with the way the Hall functions before you arrive.
• The three main things to bear in mind are

1. Badock is a no smoking Hall.
2. The Hall operates within the University of Bristol disciplinary code, therefore no illegal substances may be brought on site at all.
3. The Hall expects residents and staff to recognise the need for mutual respect and a respect for the Hall, its buildings and its grounds.
