Students in college accommodation will be invoiced termly in advance:
Each invoice will include the number of days at the room rate shown in the table below, plus 1/3 of the annual College fixed charges also shown in the table above.  The first invoice will also include a caution deposit of £250 which will be returned after your final departure when the room has been checked to have been left in good order and any bedding packs ordered.
Paid by all full-time students, a contribution to the College’s everyday catering and dining facilities. This is part of supporting the College as a community of scholars, where the exchange of ideas and interactions often occur over meals, as well as maintaining an essential shared facility. The KFC reduces the unit cost of meals and so helps to foster a collegiate atmosphere.

Students in College accommodation are responsible for ensuring that they leave their bedrooms in a clean and tidy state at the end of each licence period. All personal possessions (including bedding and items from the kitchen and bathrooms) should be removed. Anything you do not wish to take with you should either be donated to a Charity Shop or disposed of correctly.
Should items be left behind by a student, or the rooms left in a dirty state, the College reserves the right to levy a charge against the Caution Money paid by each student (£250 in 2018-19). A list of these charges is available.
