Please note:
While it is allowed to have family or a friend help new residents to move in, we would ask that only the resident queues for check-in and family members take a seat or wait outside in order to make check-in as quick as possible for everybody.
Similarly, after check-in when the resident is moving into their room, we would ask that you do not crowd the apartment with your family and friends making tea and using the common areas as there are other residents who will be moving in at the same who will need the time and space to settle in also.
Check-In Guides: September
There are 2 guides, one for first years and international students, and one for continuing and postgraduate students.
Please make sure you read the right one as there are different check-in locations for different groups.
