Room Exchanges and Early Departures

If you find yourself in an exceptional circumstance, options are available to you. It may be possible to change your room type or hall during the year, although it can take considerable time, and we would prefer to discuss ways that your problems can be resolved without a move.

The Residential Experience Team (ResX Team) are on hand to support you in your halls of residence. Each Hall has a dedicated team available when you need help and advice on the variety of challenges you may face. You can contact ResX on 0115 748 7600.

Room exchanges within your current hall

Catered

If you are in catered halls and want to transfer within your hall to another room, please submit your request to your Welcome Point. Room moves within hall are subject to a £50 fee as per Clause 14 of your Licence Agreement.

 

Non Catered

If you are in a University-arranged self-catered site and want to transfer within your site to another room, please submit your request to the site management team. Please note there will normally be an associated transfer charge.

Room exchanges across halls and sites

• To log a request for a room transfer, please log in to the Accommodation Portal and go to Room Transfers.
• 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 depend 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.
