Changing your accommodation

Find out how to request a change to your accommodation contract such as moving room, leaving your room early or extending the time that you stay

Room Move

We have a limited number of rooms available, these are mainly in Townhouses on College Lane and in Single En-Suites at de Havilland so we are not able to guarantee that all room types are available.

If you would like a room move please email accommodation@herts.ac.uk with the subject Room Move giving your Student ID and details of the room type you wish to move to, whether you require a 42 week contract ending in July 2025 or a 50 week contract ending in September 2025, and the date you would ideally like to move. 

We will then contact you to advise on availability of your chosen room type, and if we can offer you a room move.

Please be aware that room moves will incur a £25 charge for variation of contract.

All room move applications will be subject to debt and discipline checks and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to offer you a room move.

Extend your contract

Summer accommodation  will be available over the summer holiday period from June 2025 - details will be available on the link from May 2025.

If you wish to stay for any period during the summer you must apply before the application closing date.

Your accommodation deposit will be returned after the end of your summer accommodation booking.

Leave accommodation early

You can request to leave early through the accommodation portal by clicking Early Departure.

You are liable for your accommodation fees up until the end date of your contract, unless we are able to re-let your room to another eligble student. Whilst we will do all that we can to achieve this, we cannot offer you a guarantee.

Your deposit will be returned to you after the end of your accommodation contract. Unless we can re-let your room to another eligible student.  They will then take on the remainder of your contract and we will return your deposit when the new resident moves in.
