Contract details
To finalise your offer, you will be required to read and accept a licence/tenancy agreement and terms and conditions from your accommodation provider University of Nottingham.
We highly recommend that you read this along with a parent, guardian, carer, or school representative, as this is a legally binding document.
You will be accepting liability for the full tenancy length of 44 weeks for undergraduates, or 51 weeks for postgraduates. Once you have moved in you are liable to pay for the duration of your licence period.
Payment information
Your first payment is due no later than 12 September 2025 and should be paid via NottinghamHub. Alternative methods of payment are also available upon request.
Students who are reliant on a Student Finance England maintenance loan to pay their accommodation fees can make a minimum payment of £250.00 by 12 September 2025 to secure their room. This will then be deducted from your first period instalment with the remainder due on or before 3 October 2025.
Student maintenance loans and grants are paid to you directly by the Student Loans Company into your bank account (as per the details you have provided them). The Student Loans Company will provide you with a Payment Timetable so that you know what amount you will receive into your bank account each term.
Further details on how to pay your accommodation fees for term one can be found on the finance website. Please also see their Paying Student Fees information. If you will require a payment plan because you wish to amend your instalments to three equal amounts or you are self-funding and wish to pay by monthly instalment, you will need to email Student Account Services on sas@nottingham.ac.uk
Student route visa applications
Students who are reliant upon securing a Student route visa should not make any payment for their accommodation until the visa has been granted. If a visa has not been secured by the first payment date, please email Student Account Services on sas@nottingham.ac.uk

Does my room come with a fridge?
Most of our catered halls and rooms do not have a fridge in the room. You can access a shared fridge in the pantry on your floor.
Some of our halls do provide small fridges in your room, these are;
- Cripps Hall
- Cavendish Hall
- Nightingale Hall
- Derby Hall
If you require a fridge in your room for the storage of medicine or for a specific need, you can make a request through our access and individual requirements page.
Can I bring a fridge for my room?
Yes, you can bring your own fridge into your bedroom, however, there are some criteria you have to meet.
- The fridge must be 45 litres or less
- The fridge must be new, with receipts to show this, or you must have an in-date PAT test if the fridge is more than a year old.
- Fridges must be declared on the electrical inventory form.
- The fridge must be removed from the room at the end of your contract or each term if 31 weeks. Halls do not offer fridge storage during the vacation periods. Any fridges left in 31-week rooms during the vacation period are left at your own risk.
- The fridge must be kept clean and maintained. You will be liable for any damage to the room caused by leaks, etc.
- If the fridge is not working/broken, it is your responsibility to fix/dispose of it.
- Returning students can have their fridge PAT tested rather than purchase a new one.
