  • If you live in halls of residence we advise you to contact Student Fees Office to notify them of the delay and to negotiate a delayed payment date for accommodation/tuition fees
  • keep any money you have brought with them for essentials
  • If you live in catered halls you should be able to use your meal cards in hospitality
