Before you check into your accommodation

- you must have your photo ID and arrivals pass on your phone which confirms your room details
- if arriving on de Havilland out of hours, when the Helpdesk is closed, please call security 01707281010 and a Resident Assistant will meet you and provide you with your key card and information needed.
Parking
- if you’re moving onto our College Lane Campus, and you have a car, you will need to have purchased a car parking permit prior to arrival
