Details of the room that you have been allocated
will be sent to you separately before you arrive.
You will receive your accommodation offer by
email. It will explain how to view the contract and
terms and conditions before you accept the offer.
We will also send an invoice to your Keele email
address detailing the amount and due dates of
each payment. If you have concerns about being
able to meet the payment deadlines, including
the deposit and advance payment deadline, you
should contact the Income Office as soon as
possible. Before you arrive we will send you a
copy of our ‘Welcome to Keele – Living Away
From Home Guide’ which can also be
downloaded from our webpages.
If you are eligible to receive the maintenance
grant/ special support grant too, the payment
details are the same.
Making your advance payment
If you have applied for a student loan, your first
instalment will be paid into your bank account
ONLY after you have formally enrolled at Keele
(please see page 27). You will need to inform
your student finance authority of your bank
details. It can take at least a week from enrolment
for your loan to be paid to your bank account
(by BACS transfer), so you should make sure you
have money available to cover your living costs in
the first week or so. The first two weeks of the
academic year can be expensive, and you may
need money for food, travel, household goods,
books, joining societies and entertainment.
Accommodation Fees
If you will be living in campus accommodation,
you will need to pay your accommodation fees in
three instalments. You will also need to make an
advance payment of £450 to secure your room
before you arrive. This £450 payment is split
between a £150 room deposit, which is
refundable (less any damages or outstanding
debts) when you vacate your room and £300
payable towards the first instalment of your
accommodation fees.
