Room rents (categories 1–5) cover light, normal heating and cleaning.
Residents in the Flats and Maisonettes are responsible for the payment of
gas and electricity charges.
Residents occupying the premises rented to the College pay an allinclusive
rent.
Residents in flats, maisonettes, and sub-let properties are responsible for
the payment of council tax.
3.2 ALLOCATION OF ROOMS
The Rooms Tutor in consultation with the Tutorial Committee is responsible
for allocating College accommodation, and endeavours to apply fair
principles of seniority and priority of application in meeting preferences of
members. Students are not entitled to occupy College accommodation if
any of the following conditions apply:
(a) when they have been remitted College fees
(b) if their study extends considerably over the period usually expected
for the completion of their degree
(c) when they have completed the requirements for their degree, e.g.
during the summer months, though they may apply to do so.
3.2.1 Room Changes
All single rooms are allocated to individual students. Room changes will
only be permitted in exceptional circumstances, normally on medical or
psychological grounds. If a student wishes to make a case, he/she should
consult his/her Tutor.
