- Our guarantee provides accommodation for a single student only. The accommodation we source is not suitable for, and our guarantee does not extend to, providing accommodation for any family member of the student.
- If you do not complete your booking by signing the Terms & Conditions of Residence or making the pre-payment in the allotted time, we reserve the right to consider our obligations under this guarantee met. Although you’ll have the option to rebook a room from what is available at the time, you’ll no longer be guaranteed a room. The University will reasonably assist with this by sending reminders to complete your booking and advertising the timeframe in which bookings need to be completed.
- The accommodation sourced to fulfill this guarantee is not limited to that accommodation advertised on our website. To meet demand, additional accommodation not advertised may be sourced by us. Whilst every effort will be made to secure additional accommodation in Manchester, currently there is a shortage of supply of student accommodation in Manchester, and suitable accommodation may be sourced outside of Manchester to satisfy this guarantee.
Non-guaranteed accommodation
If your application falls outside the conditions of our accommodation guarantee you are still welcome to apply but you’ll not be guaranteed accommodation.
