Accommodation Services

Log into your accommodation online portal

Under Offer you will see 'View accepted offer'. Follow the link and at the bottom of the Accommodation Contract Review page is a link to download the pdf version of your accommodation contract.

From the Monday following arrivals weekend in September, the Room Transfer option will be visible on your accommodation online portal You can select the reason you wish to move rooms and there is a text box to give us more information.

Room Transfers are subject to availability within the University residence portfolio. If a transfer is possible you will be contacted by email with the details. If you move to a room where the fees are different to your originally allocated room, the fees will be adjusted.

On accepting an offer of accommodation, most students pay a one-off prepayment of £600 by credit or debit card.

The remaining balance must be paid through your MyCampus account. Please note that accommodation fees will appear in your MyCampus account on or shortly after the contract start date . You cannot set up a payment schedule until the fees are on MyCampus.

You may pay in instalments via a UK bank account (Direct Debit) or by credit card (manual payment plan). See Payment methods and Your Finances for details.

For information on payment of tuition fees go to Your Finances at: https://www.gla.ac.uk/students/sset/guides

Your room/flat details will be given on the day you arrive. We cannot release these details in advance in case we have to make any last minute adjustments to room allocations. Don't worry if you are going to arrive a few days after the main arrivals weekend. The rooms are allocated in advance of your arrival, not on the day itself, so nobody can grab the perceived 'best room' if they arrive before you.

Part of the excitement of your arrival is meeting your new flatmates. Just remember everyone is in the same situation and may be feeling a bit nervous too.

The Residence Life teams are there for you to help you settle in and orientate around the residence and campus.
