All utilities, broadband, study spaces, common areas, housekeeping for rooms and shared areas, bed linen and towels, onsite management, CCTV and 24-hour security are included. Laundry, printing and photocopying may carry additional charges.

The accommodation team reviews the application and deposit record. Full academic year applicants receive the student details form. Short-term applicants receive the reduced short-term form with passport/photo ID upload and without college, academic year or proof of course requirements.

Applications can be submitted before final college confirmation. Offers and room allocations remain subject to the Bower Hall allocation process, availability and applicant eligibility.

Cancellation requests should be made in writing by email to the accommodation team as soon as possible, quoting the applicant name, contact details and application reference if available.

Where a licence agreement has been signed, Bower Hall may apply a written cooling-off period before check-in. The final length and conditions should be confirmed in the licence agreement.

After the relevant cancellation window, the resident may remain liable for accommodation fees until a suitable replacement student is approved and takes over the room, subject to the final licence agreement.

Submitting an application and deposit request does not guarantee a room until Bower Hall confirms availability, allocation and the relevant licence documentation.

Full academic year fees are shown per person and charged across three academic terms, with a 5% upfront discount available. Short-term fees are shown by room type for 3, 4 or 5 month stays, with the same 5% upfront discount available.
