Moving in checklist - what to bring

Moving in date

The move-in dates for the student residences vary depending on location. You will need to refer to your accommodation offer email for your particular contract start date.

Please contact your residence if you plan on arriving before or after the contract start date to make arrangements.

If you arrive early and your accommodation is not available we can help you seek temporary accommodation until your room is ready.

Accompanying family members are welcome to stay for the first week to help you settle in, however they will need to locate temporary accommodation in one of the nearby hotels and motels.

What to bring

All residences contain your bed (with mattress protector), wardrobe, desk, chair, and a sink. You should bring your clothes, toiletries, sheets and blankets/duvet. If you are going to be living in a self-catered residence you should also bring your cooking utensils and equipment. Following is a guide on what you should need:

What not to bring

Due to fire risk the following items are not permitted:

Heaters
Kitchen appliances
Electric blankets
Additional furniture

Pets/animals of any type are not permitted in any University residence.

Car considerations

There are very limited car spaces for car parking at the residences therefore you are unlikely to obtain a parking permit. If you are successful in obtaining a resident parking permit and have received confirmation from the University Parking Office you now have permission to bring your car to campus.

A residential parking permit only allows you to park in the car park for your particular residence, this means you can't park anywhere else on campus. View more information about parking on campus.
