Accommodation Induction - January 2022
In order to ensure that your registration into Queen Margaret University Accommodation is as smooth as possible, please read the following information carefully.
Prior to moving into halls, you will be emailed the online e-induction. In this e-induction you will learn about the arrivals process and what you can expect when you move in.
Once you have completed the e-induction, you will be able to book a time specific arrival slot.
We understand that it may not be possible to arrive at your scheduled time, but please do try to keep to your booked time as much as possible to reduce congestion on the day.
Unfortunately, we do not have on-campus accommodation for family or friends accompanying students on arrival.
More information can be found on the Accommodation section of our website.
