Cancellation Policy (Scotland) 2020/2021

We know that times are uncertain and you may have some concerns about what will happen to your booking if you are unable to get to University, to put your mind at ease we have the following 3 promises:

• If your course start date is delayed, you’ll only start to pay for your tenancy from the month when your University commences face to face teaching (until January 1st 2021) or when you move in. We won't ask for any payment (apart from your advanced rent to secure your booking), until then.

• If you don’t get the required Visa in order to study in the UK, we’ll cancel or postpone your booking on your request.

• If Government travel restrictions are in place that prevent you from traveling to the UK, please provide us with details and we will cancel your booking at your request.

If you have any questions, please contact our residence teams who will be happy to help.
