Summer accommodation

Graduating students – if you are finishing your studies this summer but want to stay in Exeter a little longer, you can apply for summer accommodation until your summer graduation ceremony. You will pay the standard student rate until the end date of your course; find this date printed on your Unicard. After that time, you will be required to pay non-student, commercial rates which include VAT of 20%.

Students transferring to/starting a new course – if your current student status expires at the end of the summer term but you require accommodation over the summer vacation prior to continuing onto a new course, we will need a letter from your course tutor confirming your student status to support your accommodation application. This can be sent to us via  SID Online, marked for the attention of the Accommodation Office.

Where we see a high demand for accommodation, we will prioritise applications from registered students who need to stay over the summer for academic purposes.

Students in debt – if you are not up to date with payment of your current accommodation fees, we will not process your application until you have cleared your debt in full.
