Short-Term College Accommodation
WE HAVE A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF ACCOMMODATION AVAILABLE FOR STAFF AND NON-STUDENT VISITORS. COMPLETION OF THIS FORM IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF ACCOMMODATION.
This form is for short-term accommodation requests for staff or non-student visitors to the University only.
Accommodation availability for short-term requests is normally provided within postgraduate accommodation voids within our colleges. This is therefore typically student accommodation. We do not have a stock of accommodation specifically for visitors.
Before completing this form: You must ensure you have liaised with the relevant department and you are fully registered with the University as a visitor in the appropriate capacity. This means registration with either our Human Resources or Legal Services team to confirm that you are a visitor to the University. We are unable to look into any potential accommodation arrangements if this has not been done.
Visiting students should not apply for accommodation using this form. Please contact us directly should you need any further information.
This form should only be completed if you are requesting accommodation for more than a one month period. If you are looking for 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.
