COVID-19 HALLS OF RESIDENCE UPDATE
It has been confirmed that all UCL-managed student accommodation will remain open as usual throughout the year, but all students are strongly advised to return home wherever possible. UCL have taken the decision not to charge accommodation fees for students who will not be living in UCL halls in Term 3. This applies to those residents who have already checked out from 13 March or are planning on checking out by 25 April. Please see this announcement for more information.
Some other private providers have taken the same decision not to charge students who vacate their accommodation before Term 3. Please see the updates listed below:
