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.

You need to bring cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, bedding, bed linen and towels for most residences. Check your residence profile to see what is included:

This really depends as some of our residences have car parks whilst others don’t. Once your place is confirmed, please give your residence a call to check and to find out the specific arrangements for parking.

Refer to the relevant residence profile to find out which have on-site parking.

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

You can cancel 21 days prior to the contract start date without penalty. Cancellation must be in writing to accom@glasgow.ac.uk 

If you cancel less than 21 days but up to one day prior to the contract start date any prepayment will not be refunded.

If you cancel after the contract start date (even if you haven't checked in) you are liable for the fees for the duration of the contract unless a suitable replacement student is found to occupy the room. Please read your Accommodation Contract (also known as Standard Licence) in full before you accept your offer.
