Summer accommodation
King's students
The College has a number of programmes with extended teaching dates and these may not correspond with the standard 40 week period of residence.
Residents who are enrolled on a programme with extended teaching dates have an opportunity to apply for extended accommodation in a King's residence of between 1 and 11 weeks during the summer vacation period from 23 June - 08 September 2012 in accordance with their programme dates. Please note you do not have to be living in residence already to apply.
Please note that residents should expect to move to another room or residence at the end of their standard 40 week Residence Agreement.
Please see the attached document Non Standard Teaching Dates 2011-12 to see if you are eligible. If in doubt please contact Accommodation Services.
Application deadline
Applications can be made from now and the deadline is 15 March. Although applications can be accepted after this date, availability is reduced.
