Moving in next week? Everything you need to know

Just one week to go until arrival week! To make sure your move-in goes smoothly, check the following before you arrive:

  • Pack smart – review our what to pack guidance to make sure you have everything you need.
  • Book your arrival slot – reserve your time to move in via the accommodation hub.
  • Bring ID and collect your student card – when you check into your hall, you’ll need to bring a form of ID. Your student ID card will be issued at this time, which is essential for accessing your student finance if you’ve applied.
  • Arrive on the correct day – your arrival date depends on your hall. Arrivals start from Monday 22nd. Check your hall’s schedule online.
  • Plan for Welcome Week – explore all the events and activities planned for your first week on the Welcome Week page.
  • Register your free contents insurance – protect your belongings by making sure your personal items are covered from day one.
  • First-year reassurance – it’s completely normal to feel nervous. The hall staff and fellow students are there to help, and you’ll soon feel at home in your new community.

Getting organised before arrival will make your first week on campus stress-free, exciting, and fun!
