Our accommodation guarantee relates solely to the standard accommodation that we have available on our campuses. Where there is heavy demand for places in University accommodation, some students may be allocated temporary accommodation until a permanent allocation is available, this may include an emergency room off campus. We cannot guarantee that such accommodation will meet special or exceptional needs, and you should contact us separately if you have any particular requirements, needs or concerns. While we will do all we reasonably can to meet any special needs, we cannot guarantee that we will have accommodation appropriate to those needs available as part of this offer. If you wish to discuss this further, please contact us via accommodation@herts.ac.uk.
