For students in University halls of residence
If you are living in University halls of residence (not residences offered by the private sector), your term time address will be automatically entered by the University's Accommodation Office. Please note that this address may only be visible from the start of term.
All other accommodation
If you are staying in private halls of residence, have arranged your own accommodation, or are staying at your permanent address during the term, you must check or enter the details in the term time address section.
If you are living at the same address throughout the year (ie if your permanent and term time address is the same), it is important that you enter the address in both sections.
Updating your trusted contact
As part of our approach to support your safety and wellbeing, we require all our students to nominate and provide the University with details of at least one trusted contact as part of the annual registration process. We ask you to provide this information so that it is available in the unlikely event that a situation arises where we consider your health, wellbeing, or welfare to be at risk.
