It is important you tell us if you wish to cancel your Licence Agreement as there may be financial implications for you.

Term time contracts (New and Returning student) - 2024/25 Session

All students will have seven days from the payment date of their deposit (the payment date is counted as the first day) to cancel an allocation/room offer and receive a full refund of the deposit (provided the Licence Agreement does not begin within this seven-day period).

After the seven-day cancellation period (see regulation 6.18) the following single and studio accommodation cancellation charges will apply:

• By 1 July 2024: £100

• By 19 August 2024: £200

• From 20 August 2024 the full deposit of £350 (or £450 for studio flats) will be retained by the University to cover the additional administrative expenses incurred in finding a replacement and processing their documentation.

All students from 20 August 2024 will be charged the deposit £350 (single room) charge or £450 (Studio/Flats). The deposit is non-refundable and will be retained by the University to cover the Replacement Cost charge. This includes students attending a University formal placement.

Please note: The above room cancellation charges only apply to students once they have been offered and paid a deposit for a campus room.

If you accept your accommodation offer and/or receive a provisional offer and subsequently cancel, the above cancellation charge in regulation 6.19 will apply.

All cancellations must be put in writing to the Allocations Team by completing the online cancellation request form located in the Student Living Hub.

For more details please see the Residences Rules and Regulations.

All cancellations must be submitted to the Student Living Team online using the online cancellation form.

If you wish to cancel your application/allocation due to a University placement please look at question 'I am hoping to go on a placement next year, will I get my deposit back if I do?'.
