To make sure your name is down for the halls you want to live in you will need to make an advanced rent payment of £300, this works a little like a deposit and will be deducted from your final instalment of accommodation fees.
This is paid via your Star Rez account when accepting your licence agreement.

We will assist you if you have any problems in the accommodation or if you are experiencing any difficulties with the people you live with. We will also help you if you want to change rooms or if you have any invoice queries
Due dates for your payments will be sent out with your contract, so make sure you write them in your diary and better still budget for them!
Accommodation fees are due for payment either:
- In advance of arrival
- On arrival
- On receipt of an invoice. (The dates for payments will be stated on the invoice)

If you are applying to live within University Accommodation and you will not be 18 when you arrive at Uni, there’s a couple of things you need to do to make sure you get a place in halls:
Firstly have a read through the Under 18s Policy
Then complete the Under 18 application Information pack (Word doc 42k) before your accommodation can be secured.
The guarantor form covers the financial side of things and will need to be completed by a parent/guardian.
The guarantor form/required documents will need to be returned to your Local Facilities Information Hub asap so we can process your application, get all the admin side sorted and you can get set for life at uni.
If you are under 18 you automatically get allocated En-suite accommodation – you might see this as a super bonus! But if you would prefer standard to save some cash you can apply to move rooms once you’ve turned 18.
If you have any queries or questions please feel free to get in touch with the Senior Hub Manager at City Accommodation Hub or the Hub Manager at your local Facilities Information Hub.
