We'll use your Keele email address except if you're a new student, where we will initially use your personal email address. Please do not use your school email as this will be de-activated before we send out offers of accommodation.
We'll send mailings from accommodation@keele.ac.uk address. Please set this address as a ‘safe sender’ to avoid losing important information from us into your spam folder.
