Move to a new room or residence

Find out how to get support if you are unhappy with your University accommodation.

Get support with your room

We offer lots of support to help you enjoy living in your University room.

If you feel unhappy or lonely, you can get wellbeing support.

If something has broken in your room or residence you can book repairs or maintenance.

If your room cost is too high, you can get money advice or request funding.

Move to another room

If you still want to move into a different room or residence, you can apply for a room transfer.

Not everyone can move rooms as there are limited rooms available.

You can apply a few weeks after the start of the academic year, using the Accommodation Portal.

How we prioritise room move requests

After you apply, you will join a waiting list to move rooms.

Offers are prioritised based on:

  • whether a suitable room is available
  • why you need to move.

Offers are not made based on the date you apply.

Cancel your tenancy

If you want to move out of University accommodation altogether and rent a room privately, you can cancel your tenancy.
