Before you move in

What to do before you arrive at your University accommodation for the first time and get your room key.

Accommodation induction

Do the accommodation induction in the Accommodation Portal. This explains how to live in your residence safely and how to get support.

Book an arrival time slot for when you will arrive at your residence. You can do this after you complete the accommodation induction.

Download an arrival QR code. You can do this after you complete the accommodation induction.

You must show the QR code when you collect your keys.

Plan your journey to Bristol and your residence. Bristol is busy during arrivals weekend, so give yourself extra time to travel. The address for your accommodation is in your residence guide.

If you're travelling from overseas, we offer arrival support for international students.

If you need to have a car throughout your time at University, you should apply for a student parking permit.

Check what contents insurance cover you get. You can arrange additional cover if needed.

You may want to get a TV licence.
