Accommodation deposit / Advance payment

You will be asked to pay £450 which consists of a £150 room deposit that is refundable when you leave (less any charges for damage and outstanding fees) and a £300 advance payment which will be deducted from your first instalment of accommodation fees.  Your advance payment and deposit are allocated to your accommodation fees account. If you move to another room, this payment will transfer to the new room, on your accommodation fees account. You will not be required to make a second advance payment for the new room.

Accommodation deposit

The £150 room deposit is a security guarantee for lost keys, damage caused to the accommodation and any outstanding accommodation-related debts (including any late payment fees).  At the end of the occupancy period the balance of the deposit (if any) can be refunded to you or, if you have accepted an offer of accommodation for the next accommodation year, will be carried over to the following accommodation year. Any outstanding debts will be deducted from the deposit before any balance is returned to you and you will remain liable for any sums outstanding which exceed the amount of the deposit.

Accommodation fees

Accommodation fees are payable in three instalments - Dates and amounts can be found on page 3 of our Residential Terms & Conditions. 

For students living on campus for a single semester, the accommodation fee payment is due in full on the first instalment date.

If you have any difficulties making your accommodation payments please contact the Income Office who can help you set up a payment plan. Alternatively, you can contact Student Financial Support.
