Arriving late at night on Welcome Weekend
Find out where to collect your keys if you’re due to arrive after 6pm over Welcome Weekend.
You can use some shops, bars and cafes until 10pm, and the Co-op convenience store is open until 11pm. After this, services are limited.
If you have booked coach travel to the University to arrive after 6pm, a student helper will tell you where to get your keys. If you’re renting privately, check where the coach stops so you can plan your journey.
If you’re lost or have any difficulties, you can go to 24-hour receptions at Bramber House or East Slope residences on campus, or Stanmer Court next to Falmer Station.
Arriving after Welcome Weekend
Welcome Week begins on Monday 16 September 2024.
To guarantee your housing, you must notify the Housing Office if you are planning to arrive to your accommodation after Saturday 14 September 2024. You'll still be charged for your room from this date.
We'll hold your room until Friday 18 October 2024.
If you are yet to take up your accommodation, let Housing Services know you will be arriving as soon as possible. It’s important to tell them when you expect to arrive so your room is not allocated to another student. Housing Services can also tell you where to collect your key.
If you’re renting accommodation privately, speak to your letting agent or landlord.
Arriving after the start of teaching
Teaching for most courses started on Monday 23 September 2024, and all new students were expected to be on campus by Friday 11 October 2024 at the latest.
If you've not already been granted permission to arrive after 11 October 2024, it's now too late to make a request and you must not travel to the UK.
The University is now required to withdraw its visa sponsorship of any unregistered students and will contact those affected.
