Residence Contract, Regulations and Insurance

Having accepted the contract electronically you should not enter into a contract with any other residence provider. Please note that the residence contract may extend beyond a student’s requirements. In such cases the University is unable to give refunds for any accommodation that is unused.

As stated clearly in the Terms and Conditions of your Residence Contract (Sections 5 and 6), students who have accepted a contract for a room in the student residences must pay the full rent amount even if they leave halls and/or Queen Margaret University prior to the occupancy end date.

When you live in halls, there are certain rules and regulations that must be observed. These conditions are outlined in your Residence Contract which is a legally binding document together with the accompanying Code of Conduct.

The rules help to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all residents. You are sharing your accommodation with other students so it is important that you understand what is expected of you.

All complaints or reported incidents of misconduct involving residents will be investigated by the Accommodation Office and disciplinary action taken where and when necessary.

Every student in residence has a basic package of personal possessions and liability insurance which can be extended for an additional fee. The insurance is effective from the time you arrive until the end of your contract.

When viewing your cover and choosing extra cover options, start to think about the items you’ll be taking with you to university, and which of these items you’ll take outside your room and may not be covered by the basic insurance package.
