Campus Accommodation for 2017/18 – ACTION REQUIRED by Monday 20 February 2017 |
|
Dear We are sorry to inform
you that you have not been successful in the first wave of en suite allocations.
We understand that you will be very disappointed at receiving this news.
Demand for campus en suite accommodation has been high and will remain the
most popular option for many students. However we are pleased
to be able to offer you a standard room on campus. Please be advised there is
limited availability in standard accommodation, if you are interested to
secure this please reply back with confirmation of your option by Monday 20
February. Why have I not been offered a campus en suite room? You have been unsuccessful
as you were not selected in the en suite room ballot. IMPORTANT - What should I do next? Before we can process your application further please respond to
this email with your chosen option no later than Monday 20 February 2017: Option 1: I would like to secure a campus standard
room - your current £350
booking fee will be used to secure this booking and you will be offered a
provisional standard allocation immediately. Your details would not remain on
the waiting list for an en suite room but you are able to add your details to
the room
exchange list should you wish to do
so. Choosing this option will also allow you to subsequently submit a group
application form to live with your friends who may have also taken up this
standard option. Option 2: I would like to remain on the
waiting list for an en suite room - see below for more
details on the waiting list process. Option 3: Please remove me from the waiting
list. If we have not received a reply from you by midnight on Monday 20 February 2017 we will
presume that you do not require campus accommodation. Your application would
be cancelled and your £350 booking will be returned to you (subject to
outstanding accommodation related charges). When will my booking fee be refunded? Should you select
Option 2 or 3 the £350 booking fee will returned to you automatically (subject
to outstanding accommodation related charges). The University Finance Office
has advised the refund process will be processed by the end of March. Your booking fee will be returned to you by
cheque if you made your payments by cash or by cheque. If you paid by
credit/debit card the refund will be returned to the card the payments were
made from. If payment was made by Bank Transfer then the refund will be made to
the same account. If a relative or friend has paid the money (except cash
payments) to the Cash Office then the refund will be returned to the payee. How does the waiting list work? If you opt to remain
on our waiting list, some applicants may be successful over the summer months
in receiving an offer of a room following future cancellations. If
Accommodation Services receives a number of cancellations then a ballot will
be drawn. When the ballot for future cancellations is drawn successful
applicants will be contacted by email, phone or text and asked to re-pay the
£350 booking fee to secure the offer. Please keep sufficient funds aside to
do this as a decision may be required quickly (usually within 24 hours).
Further limited availability may not be known until after the recruitment of
new students in September 2017. How the waiting list
works:
We cannot enter a
student into the ballot if they have outstanding accommodation related
charges on their account with the University. Frequently Asked Questions

Save the Date – Wednesday 15
February 1-2pm ‘Find a Home’ event Brunel Managed houses (near to
campus) - still available for session 2017/18! Brunel
Student Homes still has off-campus houses available for students for
2017/18. We’re holding our Find a Home event on Wednesday 15 February
between 1-2pm at the Accommodation Services conservatory located by the River
Pinn, near to the Medical Centre. If
you already have a group to share with, we have houses available; if your
friends have all been offered a room on-campus but you haven’t, don’t worry –
lots of other students are in this situation and you can get together with
them at Find a Home to rent one of our lovely houses. Our
properties are all managed by Brunel Student Homes (part of Brunel University
London) – you pay only a £350 deposit, you pay your rent to Brunel and deal
with us for repairs; international students don’t need guarantors and we
won’t sting you for any extra fees (reference fee, admin fee, inventory fee)
like local private lettings agents. We’re
looking forward to seeing you at Find a Home, but if you can’t be there just
contact us by email or telephone +44 (0) 1895 266187 for
more information.
