Students may apply for residency in our flats at any time during the year although the period when they become available is usually in September or June. Successful applicants are required to enter into an agreement, normally for a period of at least one academic year, on the production of a letter from the student’s college or university. Extensions can be considered before the lease expires by applying to the Dean of Students, but residence for more than four years cannot be considered. One month’s written notice of termination is required. Unsuccessful applicants join a waiting list for properties which become available from time to time.
