COVID-19

Students no longer attending a UK university
Students can cancel their tenancy, by letting us know in writing by no later than 23:59 on Wednesday 1 July 2020 that they will not be attending their university for the 2020 academic year. We will give them a full refund, as long as they provide written evidence that they are no longer coming to the UK for their academic studies.

Delays to academic start date
We understand there’s a chance that some universities may choose to delay the start of the academic year or their face-to-face teaching. Equally, travel restrictions may delay a student being able to travel to the UK to start face-to-face teaching.

If this happens, we’ll allow any students to delay the start date of their tenancy agreement with us until the start of the month their course begins (up to January 2021).

For example:

• Course starts in October – Revised tenancy start date 1 October 2020
• Course starts in November – Revised tenancy start date 1 November 2020
• Course starts in December – Revised tenancy start date 1 December 2020
• Course starts in January – Revised tenancy start date 1 January 2021
