Summer is finally here. For most of you it will mean the end of your academic year with us, but for those of you who will still be on campus we wanted to share some useful information about how student services, support and activities will operate over the next few months.
Staying in halls over summer?
We have now confirmed all summer bookings and contract extension requests, for those staying in halls. While you are still living in halls, our housekeepers will continue to visit you Monday – Friday as normal.
The accommodation team are here for you. All year round. If you need support or advice, please reach out by emailing [email protected].
