Staff and Visitors

If you are joining us as a new member of staff, or are visiting the University for work or study, we may be able to provide you with short-term accommodation.

Please note the University will close for the Winter Break from 5pm on Friday 20 December 2024 until 9am on Monday 6 January 2025. Booking forms will not be monitored during this period. If you are a current guest in accommodation and have an emergency during the closure period, please contact the University Security Service on 0191 208 6817 or via email to security.control@ncl.ac.uk

New staff 

If you are relocating to Newcastle to work at the University, we understand that you might need a temporary base before you’re able to find something more permanent. Our short-term accommodation options for new staff will provide you with a comfortable and convenient place to stay. Our visitor rooms offer a glimpse into the city and its surroundings, allowing you to get familiar with the area before making a more permanent arrangement. We offer temporary accommodation for a minimum of 14 nights and a maximum of 1 year.

Please note that some of the residences are located alongside our student accommodation and may be subject to more noise.

Visitors 

For those visiting the University for work or study, we offer temporary accommodation for a minimum of 14 nights.
