Dear

Can I change my preference of campus accommodation after applying?

If you have already submitted your application for next session but would like to change your preference for accommodation, or would like to provide some extra information please submit an online amendment form. If you would like to update your mobile number or email address you can submit this via the Accommodation Services Hub. We will endeavour to meet your preferences for accommodation, however please be advised these cannot always be possible.

TIP: You may notice that not all our Halls of Residence will be available for you to choose online as your preference. This is due to some areas on campus being level of study specific eg Isambard Complex is a postgraduate and researcher area and Faraday Hall is for returning undergraduate students.

Parents/Guardian information

How can my son/daughter/dependant apply for accommodation?

Applications for campus accommodation are submitted online via the Accommodation Services Hub. Applications can be made as soon as your son/daughter/dependant has an offer at Brunel University London. The earlier they apply the better the chance of meeting their room preference. Once your son/daughter/dependant has a Brunel Student number they will be able to make their application online.

Am I able to deal with my son/daughter/dependant's application etc?

We are happy to deal with a third party who is speaking on behalf of the student. All we will require is that the student submits the details of the person they wish to give permission to via the Third Party Declaration form located in the Accommodation Services Hub. This information will be added to their accommodation account for the duration of their stay with the Brunel Accommodation Services. This permission will only apply to Accommodation Services so you may wish to contact any other departments directly if you also wish to deal with non-accommodation matters. Students will also have the opportunity to provide/update this information whenever they log in to the Accommodation Services Hub.

How much will I need to pay for accommodation before my son/daughter/dependant starts University?

We do not require students to pay anything until they have received their exam results and gained a place at the University. At the point the course offer is made unconditional firm by the University, Accommodation Services will follow up with the campus room offer to be accepted online and at the same time pay the booking fee by the deadline date you are given. The first instalment of rent is then due by 19 October 2016. The booking fee will be credited to the final instalment of rent in April 2017 for undergraduate length contracts and May 2017 for postgraduate length contracts.

Will the booking fee be refunded if my son/daughter/dependant's do not get into Brunel University London?

Accommodation Services will not ask for the booking fee payment (£350 for single rooms and £450 for co-habiting couple studio flats) prior to exam results being released. The Licence Agreement and request for payment will be emailed to your son/daughter/dependant once they have their results. Should you decide to make the payment before we request it and they do not get the required results needed to come to Brunel you will be entitled to a full refund of the booking fee. If for any other reason your son/daughter/dependent decides not to come to Brunel/take up their room offer, the cancellation charges below will apply:

• Cancelling within 7 days of the payment being made, a full refund of the booking fee will be made (provided the Licence Agreement does not start within 7 days)
• By 31 March 2016: £50
• By 1 August 2016: £75
• By 31 August 2016: £100
• From 1 September 2016 the booking fee will be retained by the University to cover the additional administration expenses incurred in finding a replacement and processing the documentation. These cancellation charges are also applicable for studio applications.
