Halls of Residence
Damages charges and dispute procedure
The University will pass on costs to the resident(s) if items in Halls of Residence have been damaged by resident(s) and have to be repaired or replaced. The charges may include the cost of disposal, delivery, administration, and other associated costs of remedying the damage. Charges are made at a commercial rate.
The Halls of Residence Charges List is a general guide, and actual charges may be more or less depending on the amount of labour (including administration and management time) and the materials required. Prices are current at the time of compiling this information and are subject to change.
The basis of charging is that there should be no adverse financial consequences for the University in repairing damage caused by a student, and that the University will not make a profit out of repair charges.
Students who damage Halls of Residence property will be informed in writing about any charges made by the Residence Management team.
If you have received a charge for damage in your flat or room and do not agree with the charge or do not believe you are responsible for it, you are entitled to view the evidence and make a case to the Hall Manager. Please download, print and complete the Damage Charges Dispute Procedure form.
