Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Please report any maintenance issues to your halls of residence reception as soon as possible by using the online maintenance system. You will be provided with the details during move-in, but you can speak to reception if you are having any problems.

Please put as much detail as possible in your maintenance request as this helps the team respond to your problem more effectively. Repair and maintenance requests are graded according to their priority and therefore the more information you give on the form, the more accurately we can prioritise your request.
