Liability for accommodation fees will be assessed based on your registration status with the University, the date you plan to leave, the date of your leaver’s request submission, and any exceptional medical considerations/circumstances (supporting documentation will be required).

If you are in halls and want to move to another room it is possible, find our guidance on how to start this process below. 

• To log your request with Accommodation Services please complete the online transfer request form.  
• For room transfer requests from or to third party sites you will need a replacement for your licence as you will have a legally binding contract with your current accommodation provider and we will therefore need to match you with another student who wishes to move to your provider. 
• Please note that we are unable to guarantee that we can resolve your transfer request as this will be dependant upon a number of factors.
• Timeframes for assisting may vary considerably however if we have been unable to assist earlier you can expect an update on your request every four weeks. 

Please submit our Transfer Request Form
