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.

Deposit Refund


Once you have vacated, your deposit refund for the 2011-12  residential year, can be claimed back in accordance with the terms set out in the "Conditions of Residence and Licence 2011-12 " via MAP.  You need to refer to the Student Finance Section and request Accommodation Deposits. Please complete your bank details and select whether you want the refund paid into a UK or Non-UK bank. Please be aware that the refund will only be made in full after your current Licence expires, if there are no charges levied against you and all of your residence fees have been paid. If you do not have a bank account and need the refund to be in a different format, then you need to visit The Hub in the main building and speak to a member of the Credit Control section.

TV Licence

I refuse to pay for a whole year when I’m only here for nine months...
 
The good news is you can apply for a refund if you find that you don't need your TV Licence for any full three-month period of cover remaining on it, should you stop using TV and not need a licence again before it expires. For example, for the last quarter of the year if you go on summer break. Find out how to apply for a refund

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.

Current Residential Year 2011-12     

The online application form is still available via www.aston.ac.uk/eaccom/login/start.do  for students still requiring accommodation for the current Residential year.
