Vacation periods

Summer 

Undergraduate accommodation at David Russell Apartments and Agnes Blackadder Hall are used by conference, group and individual bookings during the summer vacation.

Postgraduates staying in studio apartments, please be aware that the building you stay in could be used for such bookings over summer.   

Christmas

Not all accommodation includes the Christmas vacation period.

Please check your accommodation contract.

You will not normally be asked to empty your room during the Christmas vacation period, but there may be times when the University wishes to carry out maintenance work and if your room is affected, you will be informed in advance.

Storage

If you need to store items during term time, please check with your residential service manager (see contact details for individual halls). In most residences, there is extremely limited availability.

During the summer vacation, the residences are either undergoing maintenance or are used for conferences and other commercial bookings, so there are no University storage facilities available for students during the summer. There are a number of storage companies advertised within the residences.
