Moving in
Once you have accepted your offer of accommodation, you will be contacted by the end of August and asked to complete an online induction in Room Service. The induction includes important information about your residence, health and safety during your stay and the support services available to you. It is compulsory and must be completed before you can pick up your keys.
Once you have completed your induction you will be able to book your arrival date and timeslot.
You must book a date and time to arrive at your residence in advance; numbers are limited per time slot so please ensure you complete your induction and book your arrival as soon as you receive the email.
For students who will be living in The Sidings, you will be contacted directly by CRM Students to arrange your move-in date.
During move in weekend, you will be able to park for free on Penryn Campus. Please be aware that normal parking charges apply outside of this period. You can find out more about how these work, including hourly charges, on our parking page.
Once you have checked in and collected your keys, you will be given an unload permit which will allow you to park your car at a designated area within the Glasney Student Village. You will have 2 hours to unload your car, after which it will need to be moved back to the main car park. If you have two cars with you to unload you will only be permitted to take one car down at a time.
You will only be able to take your car into Glasney Student Village once for unloading. If you need to visit the shops to get groceries, we advise that you do this before arrival or park at the main car park and walk down with your shopping.
Allowances will be made for Blue Badge holders.
Grocery Deliveries
We advise booking supermarket deliveries outside of the arrival times. During arrivals weekend delivery vans will not be allowed to enter Glasney Student Village.
Guests
We are unable to allow any overnight guests in residences for the first two weeks. If parents, relatives or friends are accompanying you they will need to book accommodation elsewhere. Falmouth and Penryn have lots of hotels, guest houses, B&Bs and hostels and many advertise via Visit Falmouth.
For more information on moving in, view our accommodation policies.
