Moving Day

Trolleys are available to use from some receptions free of charge just make sure you check with reception staff in advance. If they are available you will need your Student ID card to borrow a trolley which must be returned to reception after use. Car Parking will vary at each Hall so make sure you have checked where you can park before leaving your vehicle. You will be issued with a ticket if you park in an undesignated parking area.

Donations

Leave Liverpool Tidy - along with the British Heart Foundation's Pack For Good - is a city wide project that aims to re-use, recycle and ultimately reduce the amount of items going to landfill. The project collects unwanted items which are then redistributed to those in need in the local community and students. So, when you move out of your accommodation over summer and are left with lots of items you no longer want, Leave Liverpool Tidy will step in to collect, sort and redistribute your items to avoid creating lots of waste and offer much them to those in most need across the community. In 2019 over 12 tonnes of items were redistributed through this project - Click here to find out more. 

Left Belongings

It is your responsibility to remove all belongings from your bedroom and communal area. We will contact you via phone or email if we find any items of high value (EG. passport, driving licence, and laptop) and will store them for a maximum of 28 days after you have checked out. All other items will either be donated to charity, recycled or disposed of; to read our policy click here.

Mail and Parcels

You will need to change your postal address with family, friends, your bank and on websites such as Amazon. We will hold your post and parcels for two weeks after you check out, but after this it will be returned to the sender.
