New postgraduate contract move out date
Due to an earlier than usual start to the 2024-2025 academic year, all accommodation must be vacated by Saturday 7 September 2024. This is to ensure time for essential cleaning and maintenance in preparation for the 2024 intake.
Swap rooms
If you would like to change rooms, you can use the Rooms Swap app in Sussex Direct to look for another room.
This opens one week after you have arrived to give you time to decide if the room is right for you.
Once you have found someone to swap rooms with, you both need to visit the Housing office together to complete some paperwork. There is a £26 administration charge for each student.
