Moving In

• Vans/trailers or additional cars are not permitted due to limited space.
• Newcastle has recently introduced a ‘Clean Air Zone’. You can see if your vehicle is affected here.
• Parking spaces are limited; therefore, we are strictly unable to allow multiple visits on the main arrival days. To ensure other students can arrive safely and promptly, vehicles will not be allowed to return to the accommodation once you have completed your visit during your allocated time.

• Please do not book any parcel or food deliveries during your accommodation’s main arrivals period. Space for vehicles is limited to ensure students can safely and comfortably arrive, therefore access for couriers and supermarket delivery vehicles will be restricted.
• We appreciate that the first ‘big shop’ is a university tradition, but would recommend buying supplies in advance, or bringing any shopping to your accommodation outside of the main arrivals windows (after 17.00).

• Bicycle storage and car parking can be extremely popular. Due to its limited availability we would strongly advise booking this in advance.
