What you need to do before you arrive at your University accommodation

Before you arrive

If you are staying in University accommodation, before you arrive you must log in to your accommodation account and:

• complete the online accommodation induction and quiz
• choose an arrival slot (slots are only required for September arrivals)
• print a key receipt to bring with you on your arrival day.

Students starting a course in:

• September, cannot arrive at their University accommodation before the first Saturday of September.
• January, cannot arrive at their University accommodation before the date on their accommodation contract.

If you arrive earlier, you will need to arrange private accommodation. If you are staying in a University-managed property, email propertyservices@st-andrews.ac.uk to confirm your arrival date and time.

If you have any questions, read the guidance on arriving at your University student accommodation, or visit the accommodation pages for:

• Undergraduates
• Postgraduates
• Foundation

Sending luggage before you arrive

You should not send luggage from overseas before you arrive in St Andrews.

The University cannot guarantee secure storage. Your property will not be covered by the University's insurance policy until you are in your accommodation.

If you are planning to send your belongings to the UK, you must:

• read the UK government’s information on moving personal belongings to the UK
• arrange for them to arrive after you check in to your University accommodation.
