Accommodation and Allocations Office

Short-Term College Accommodation

Please be aware that from August until at least the end of November time, college accommodation is fully occupied. We therefore are unable to provide any availability for short-term requests made during this period. If you make a request for accommodation during this time this will not be considered and you will need to seek private accommodation.

Accommodation availability for short-term requests is provided where we have potential voids within postgraduate accommodation within colleges. This is minimal availability mid-year and as this is student accommodation, we therefore are unable to guarantee that specific preferences regarding room type or catering can be met. We do not have any 'visitor' accommodation within our colleges.

Visiting students should not apply for accommodation using this form. Please contact the Accommodation and Allocations Office directly in the first instance at colleges.postgrad@durham.ac.uk. This form is primarily for short-term requests for members of staff, non-students or visitors only.

This form should only be completed if you are requesting accommodation for more than two weeks. If you are looking for guest accommodation of two weeks or less, please contact our Event Durham team directly. You can also find further details regarding hotel or bed & breakfast accommodation in County Durham here: www.thisisdurham.com/accommodation/.

Couple/family accommodation requests can be noted within this form, however this type of accommodation is extremely limited and you may need to find private accommodation as an alternative.

If you are a current student at Durham University and are looking for short-term accommodation, please contact your allocated college directly.
