Deposit 2012/13 - Please be aware that the deposit will be £200.00. This is payable when you accept an accommodation offer and is paid online via the online booking system. The deposit will be returned in full at the end of the Residential year subject to no damage/cleaning charges being levied against you.
Offers of accommodation will be sent to the email address you provide on your application form. Generally, you will not receive anything relating to accommodation via post. Always check your junk mail as some service providers may not accept emails from Aston University.
You have 7 days from the date we make the offer to accept and make the deposit payment via the on-line booking system. (The number of days for accepting offers will decrease as we get nearer the start of term).
You need to be aware and accept that if we make you an offer of a room and you reject that offer, we may be unable to offer you an alternative room.
(The start date will change if you are allocated a room during the Residential Year)

Accommodation Offer
Before accepting an accommodation offer, it is essential that you read the Conditions of Residence and Licence. Accepting the offer enters you into a legally binding contract that commits you to the Conditions of Residence and Licence, which includes your obligation to pay accommodation fees for the FULL Licence period.
If you accept a room on campus for 2012/13, your Licence Agreement commences on 22nd September 2012. The start date will change if you are allocated a room during the Residential year.
Your arrival dates will be 22nd/23rd September 2012. If you are unable to arrive on either of these dates, please email accom@aston.ac.uk from the beginning of September 2012, and we will assist you with alternative arrangements.
Please be aware that we cannot guarantee you a room on campus, as any vacancies will be determined by the number of new students accepting accommodation offers. Please maintain contact with the Accommodation Office if you wish to be considered for a room.
