Welcome weekend for hall arrivals is 12-13 September 2026 however arrival slots are also available for 11 September.
For partnership, direct-let halls and students on earlier starting courses, please check your contract or with your accommodation provider for start dates and arrival information.
We understand that there are lots of things to think about when moving to university. Our students have the opportunity to purchase optional extras to help them get prepared for their move. Students can do this through the accommodation portal after signing their contract. See below for the extras that we have available:
We understand that packing for university can be tough therefore we have introduced some student starter packs that can be ordered through the accommodation portal ready to collect on your arrival!
These include bedding, kitchen/dining and cleaning packs.
We have various Brookes Sport membership options at a discounted rate for our students.
Depending on the membership type, this can include access to the gym, fitness classes and the climbing wall at Headington.
After accepting your accommodation contract, you will be able to sign up to these memberships through the accommodation portal before you even arrive!
When moving out of halls, bedrooms and shared spaces must be left clean and clear of all possessions and food.
The halls offer an end of contract cleaning service to help you with this.
The cost of this service is £82 for en suite rooms and £45 for those with shared bathrooms.
This can be pre booked through the Shopping Cart of the Accommodation Portal.
For halls of residence, you'll collect your keys from the hall office on site. Please ensure you bring some ID with you such as a passport or similar. You can find the address under the 'location' tab on the hall's webpage.
The majority of contracts for our September 2026 starters will begin on Saturday 12 September 2026 however arrival slots will begin on 11 September. We do not advise reaching Oxford before 11 September unless you have secured temporary accommodation or have an earlier starting contract for your course.
