Universities UK Code of Practice. The code sets out the main elements of good management practice. It covers health and safety, maintenance and repairs and relationships between managers and student residents. It should also assist residents in understanding both the standards and procedures applying to their accommodation and their obligations as tenants. The full code can be viewed at www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/acop. Accommodation owned or managed by our partners will be managed in accordance with the ANUK Code of Practice (Accreditation Network UK) or through a management agreement with the University. This will ensure that standards of service provision will as a minimum comply with either of the above codes.

Our range of accommodation choices

Whatever your budget and your requirements we have several options to help you choose which accommodation is best for you. We have standard accommodation which offers great value and recently built/refurbished accommodation, some with ensuite facilities.

Your guarantee of accommodation

All first year undergraduate and postgraduate students are GUARANTEED a place in University or University partner accommodation provided you apply by 1 September 2010. Please note before your application can be fully processed you must have accepted an Unconditional firm offer to study here. Students with Conditional offers can still apply for accommodation before their status changes to Unconditional (usually when exam results are received or for international students when the course deposit has been paid). Once your exam results and acceptance at the University are confirmed, your accommodation application will be processed. This guarantee excludes applications to iQ Student Quarter - students without a firm offer can apply to iQ Student Quarter immediately. If you dont receive the exam grades required to take up your place at iQ Student Quarter, your deposit of 250 will be refunded.

We provide a choice of:

Single study bedrooms One bedroom flats (with lounge) for undergraduate and postgraduate couples Two or three bedroom family houses and flats for students with children this accommodation is provided at Waterside Village and Matthias Court Adapted rooms and facilities for students with additional requirements

Accreditation and code of standards

All of the accommodation detailed in this brochure is managed in accordance with the codes of practice which exist to safeguard the interests of our students. Accommodation owned and managed by the University is registered and compliant with

Locations
Constantine Court and Horlock Court are based on campus. All other accommodation is a short distance away (approximately a ten minute walk) from the main campuses and a frequent and free campus bus service is provided throughout term time. The free bus runs Monday to Friday and stops at all of the accommodation locations and main campus buildings.

Our partners
Eddie Colman, John Lester, Matthias and Bramall Courts are owned/managed by Campus Living Villages in partnership with the University. Campus Living Villages specialises in providing safe, supportive and exciting student accommodation. As one of the largest providers internationally, it has an established track record and relationships with around 50 institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

How to choose the right accommodation your preferences and requirements

Your accommodation and living experience are a crucial part of your University experience and we want you to have the best time possible. The majority of students will stay with us for at least nine months of the year and many students choose to stay with us for the whole time they are studying at University. To make the most of your accommodation experience it is really important for you to make the right choice when you apply. The extension will be charged at the same rent as your initial contract. We will contact you for confirmation of your possible extension requirements approximately three months before your contract ends, but it is your responsibility to confirm any extension, in writing, and by the deadline. Unfortunately if you do not let us know that you need to stay in the accommodation by the deadline, we cannot guarantee that this will be possible.

iQ Student Quarter
Our other partner accommodation is iQ Student Quarter. iQ has accommodation across the UK including Bristol, Birmingham, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Leeds and Nottingham. There are 541 ensuite bedrooms available (including large deluxe rooms) at this modern purpose built facility. Four, five and six bedroom flats are available with shared kitchen and lounge facilities. There is also a large common room with Sky TV provided for all residents. For further information and to make an application please contact iQ directly at www.loveiq.co.uk or telephone +44(0)161 736 6501.

Undergraduates
The majority of our residents are new and returning undergraduates. Undergraduate accommodation is available at Castle Irwell, Constantine Court, Horlock Court, Bramall Court, Eddie Colman Court and iQ Student Quarter. All undergraduate contracts are for 40 or 42 weeks. All of our new first year students are placed with other first years so you will meet lots of friends in the same situation.

Nurses
We place nursing students together as study and work patterns usually involve shifts and longer contracts. Most nursing students require a 52 week contract. There are a small number of courses starting in March if we have rooms available at that time we will pleased to offer you accommodation.

Postgraduate accommodation
Postgraduate accommodation is available at Castle Irwell, John Lester Court, Matthias Court and iQ Student Quarter and all contracts are 50 weeks long. The postgraduate courses (PGT) are 52 weeks long many students find the 50 week contract is perfectly adequate but some students may require an accommodation extension. This may be an extension for two or three weeks, or it may be that you are taking an academic extension to complete your dissertation and require either a four or six month accommodation extension. If you apply to Matthias Court and Castle Irwell we will guarantee accommodation for the 52 weeks of your course and one academic extension if required (either 4 or 6 months depending on your course). This guarantee can only be given provided you confirm your requirement for an accommodation extension at least eight weeks before your contract is due to end. In other accommodation we are unable to guarantee an extension, and so if you think that you may need to stay longer than 50 weeks, please choose Matthias Court or Castle Irwell. We will try to meet requests for shorter extensions wherever possible but cannot guarantee this.

Family accommodation
This year we are offering families (students with children) a small number of 2 and 3 bedroom properties at Waterside Village located next door to iQ Student Quarter. We believe the additional space and gardens will be a benefit for students with children. Families can apply for this accommodation directly through our online application process. Additional family accommodation will be available at Matthias Court.

Returning students
Returning students are welcome to apply for accommodation and many students choose to stay with us throughout their time at University.

Group applications

All students in a group application must have the same contract period. It would be helpful if you all provide your student ID numbers when applying.

kitchens and include bedding. This will mean that when you arrive you will need to buy some food but your kitchen and bedroom should have all the items you need. The houses which are especially for Erasmus and exchange students are based at Castle Irwell which has lots of sports facilities and green fields. Our houses at Castle Irwell have eleven bedrooms and you will share bathroom and kitchen facilities with other Erasmus students. Erasmus and exchange students will be given contracts based on the period of the exchange programme they have accepted. We will do our best to offer short term accommodation to all incoming Erasmus and exchange students, however rooms are limited so please apply as soon as you receive confirmation.

To talk to the specialist Care Leaver Support Co-ordinator you can call Student Life on +44 (0)161 295 0023 or email the Care Leaver Support Co-ordinator, Ellie Wharfe at StudentLife-Careleaver@salford.ac.uk. Ellie can be contacted by phone at the Student Life number above. Alternatively you can visit the web pages for care leaver support at www.advice.salford.ac.uk/page/careleaver. You can arrange an initial meeting with the Care Leaver Support Co-ordinator even before you have applied to the University and to discuss the best accommodation for you.

Adapted accommodation
Accommodation adapted for wheelchair users is available at Constantine Court, John Lester Court and Eddie Colman Court. Depending on your requirements suitable accommodation may also be available at iQ Student Quarter. Accommodation with a fully DDA compliant kitchen is available at Constantine Court. This kitchen includes adjustable cupboards, sink and worktops plus fridges and freezers which can be easily accessed by wheelchair users. Deaf Alerter provision is available at all accommodation choices. Please advise us of your requirements on your application and we can advise you of the most suitable accommodation. On the accommodation application form there is a detailed section for you to tell us about your requirements a member of our team will contact you to discuss the most suitable accommodation. We also work closely with Student Lifes Disability Service to ensure our residents have access to other support available. Other reasonable adjustments or extra provision can be made as long as we know what you need. If you would like to speak to a member of our Disability Service Team to find out more about the support available please telephone +44 (0) 161 295 0023.

Quieter accommodation
This year we will be introducing quieter accommodation for students who prefer a more peaceful environment. This accommodation will be available at Castle Irwell, Horlock Court, Constantine Court and John Lester Court. If you are an individual who prefers a more peaceful atmosphere, or someone who is easily distracted by the noise of others, then you may wish to request to be allocated within our designated quieter accommodation area at Castle Irwell, Horlock Court, Constantine Court and John Lester Court. Students living in quieter accommodation are asked to adhere to certain conditions, which are slightly different from those operating at the rest of the accommodation areas, these include: Any noise from TVs/computers, or music that is played in bedrooms should be kept to a low level at all times in the day and night (low level is categorised as being not significantly heard from outside of the bedroom). No music systems can be set up or played in the communal dining area. Residents should not entertain large numbers of guests/ visitors at any one time. Whilst we cannot guarantee noise will always be kept to a minimum, it is the intention that the quieter accommodation will be an opportunity for us to place like minded people together, and try to create a more harmonious living environment for our residents. This success of this option is dependent upon the consideration and co-operation of all residents.

Mature students
If you are a new student but will be older when you start University and would prefer to live with returning or postgraduate students when you arrive, please indicate this on your online application form.

Applying for international placements and exchanges

If there is a possibility of an exchange programme on your course but you will not receive confirmation until later in the academic year (usually second and third semester placements) you can still apply for some of the accommodation choices. These choices are Castle Irwell, Constantine, Horlock, Bramall and Matthias Courts. Students considering an exchange programme should not apply to iQ Student Quarter, John Lester or Eddie Colman Courts as you will not be released from a contract without finding a replacement student first. If you have already booked accommodation or are already in residence please do not worry that you will not be able to take part in the Erasmus programme (or other exchange scheme) if an opportunity becomes available later in the academic year. We will need to receive either an email or letter from your tutor confirming that you are taking part and the date it will start. We will then release you from your contract the weekend before the placement starts. Please note this only applies to students in University owned accommodation Castle Irwell, Constantine, Horlock, Bramall and Matthias Courts.

Erasmus and exchange accommodation

The University of Salford works with many international partners and we are delighted to welcome students who are studying or working at the University at different times of the year and often for shorter periods. We know it can be expensive if you have to buy items for your house or flat when you arrive, especially if you are staying for a short period. We have recently introduced special Erasmus and exchange houses which have more equipment in the

Care leavers
The accommodation online application form includes a question for students who may have spent time in foster care, semi independent living or residential care homes. If you tick this box we will treat this information in confidence, and will contact you to discuss whether you may benefit from any further support the University can offer and if you require accommodation on a 52 week basis. The Care Leaver Support Co-ordinator can help you with issues such as finance worries, study skills, welfare, careers, part time work, counselling and many other areas. You may not need access to all of the support available to you, or any at all, but we can help you to make the right choices from application to graduation.

Other considerations :
Some of the things you also need to consider before you apply are:

Location do you want to be as close as possible to where the majority of your teaching will take place? If so find out which buildings/campus your course will be based at. Ensuite - is this essential? Ensuite is the most expensive accommodation you could save money by choosing standard accommodation.

le Co rt

Contract length how long is your course? Make sure you choose the right contract as you will have to pay your rent for the full accommodation period. Making friends do you want to meet lots of friends and live in a large group or would you prefer a smaller group while you find your feet in your first year?

of the accommodation choices. For further information on what is available please visit our website.

Smoking
All accommodation is non smoking and smoking is not allowed in any part of the accommodation. As some of our accommodation has many floors, students can indicate on their online application form (all locations excluding iQ Student Quarter) if they are a smoker and would prefer to live on a lower floor to be nearer to the smoking shelters. Please note this will depend on room availability and the timing of your application.

Quieter accommodation in our Undergraduate accommodation the majority of our residents are 18 or 19 years old and living independently for the first time. Residences can be noisy and exciting and we know this doesnt suit everyone. Students looking for a quieter lifestyle and environment can apply for quiet accommodation available at Horlock Court, Constantine Court, Castle Irwell and John Lester Court. Bringing a car you will have to pay to park at iQ Student Quarter, Horlock and Constantine Courts, and if you want to use the University car parks there is also a daily charge so think carefully about whether you need to bring your car with you. Remember there is free bus available Monday to Friday and this stops at all the accommodation choices. Budget can you afford it? Before you apply look carefully at our fees table so you understand your commitment. Our rents are some of the cheapest in the country but it is important to look at your budget first. Local students you are very welcome to apply for accommodation. We ask students who could commute to ensure they are fully committed to living with us for the full year before making an application. By accepting a contract you are committing to paying the full rent for the whole contract period.

Resident Life Support Officers

Resident Life Support Officers provide additional support at Castle Irwell, Horlock and Constantine Courts. They provide a warm welcome to all new residents through a range of welcome and induction activities to help students settle into their accommodation. Sometimes problems, large and small, arising during the first few weeks of a new term can easily be blown out of proportion. New students can feel overwhelmed by the many new experiences they have to deal with. This can particularly be the case for international students. The Resident Life Support Officers play a vital role during out of hours when they will provide support if you have worries or problems. They will arrange social activities and encourage all students to live together, thus promoting a harmonious living environment. Resident Life Support Officers work out of office hours during the evenings and weekends on a rota basis.

Choice of room sizes

This year we are offering students choosing Bramall and Matthias Courts the opportunity to choose a standard, large or extra large room. This can be beneficial if you are bringing lots of possessions with you or if you are studying on a course and have a lot of materials and equipment.

Viewing University and University partner accommodation

As our accommodation is fully occupied throughout the majority of the year it is not always possible to see inside all of the accommodation locations. If you are interested in a particular location we recommend you contact the site reception in advance by telephone or email to see if there may be an empty bedroom we can show you.

new students. During Welcome, there will be staff and existing students on hand to answer any questions you may have. You will also be able to open a bank account, have a tour of the University and Manchester and take part in social activities. Other Welcome events are open to all new students and help you meet new students and find your feet. You will receive full details nearer to your arrival the Universitys Get Ready website is an essential website for all new students: www.getready.salford.ac.uk. New student Welcome runs from 13 September, starting with International Programme. General Induction, Registration and check in run from 20 September (International students can register from 13 September). Teaching starts week beginning 27th September.

Early arrivals before 13 September

All September 2010 contracts start on Monday 13 September (except iQ Student Quarter and Nurses contracts which start on 17 September) and the majority of students will not be required to be at the University before this date. If you need to move into your accommodation earlier because your course has an earlier start date please email your accommodation choice to request an early arrival. We will do our best to help you but this is not guaranteed due to summer conferences and refurbishment programmes. Please note any additional nights prior to 13 September will incur a charge. Please do not arrive before 13 September without prior arrangement because we do not have emergency accommodation.

University tour
If you would like to visit our accommodation there are several ways you can do this. There is a University tour every Wednesday that includes a visit to Castle Irwell Student Village and iQ Student Quarter. To book a tour, visit our website at www.salford.ac.uk and follow the link Visit the University.

Arrival dates
Castle Irwell, Horlock Court, Constantine Court, John Lester and Eddie Colman, Bramall and Matthias Courts all students can move in from Monday 13 September. The only exception are nursing students whose contract starts on 17 September. Students who are based in the UK are welcome to move in from 13 September but may find the campus is particularly quiet as not all campus services will be fully operational. We recommend UK based students arrive from Friday 17 September.

Accommodation for students starting academic programmes at other times of the year
We recognise that not all courses start in September as the University offers programmes which start at various times in the year, including January, February and March. All students are welcome to apply for accommodation regardless of when their course starts and if we have rooms available we will always offer these students accommodation. It is always worth putting in an application at later times in the year. Our accommodation contracts are based on the majority of course lengths but we realise that there are exceptions. If you are studying for a course that is much longer or shorter in length than the contracts available please tell us what you require when you apply. On the online application form there is a question Do you have any other information you would like to tell us? this will create a text box where you can type in the dates you require accommodation. There is also a Welcome Programme in late January for further details please see our Get Ready website: www.getready. salford.ac.uk. This website provides information on all aspects of preparing for and arriving at our University including Welcome activities and arranging airport transfers.

Private accommodation
We strongly recommend that all new students needing accommodation choose University or University Partner accommodation because it provides you with the support you need as you adjust to life away from home. The weekly rent in University or University Partner accommodation includes your utilities and broadband which makes it easier for you to budget as there are no hidden extras. However, if you prefer to make your own arrangements we strongly recommend that you use either Manchester Student Homes or Salford City Council as your starting point. Both organisations offer information on accredited landlords and their properties. This means that the properties and their landlords are registered, the properties have been inspected and meet the necessary accreditation standards. Manchester Student Homes is jointly owned and managed by Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester and its free service is also available to students at the University of Salford. It runs a compulsory accreditation scheme for landlords and managing agents of student properties. Please do not apply for University accommodation if you are planning to move into private accommodation shortly afterwards, as you will be held liable for the full contract charge and you may prevent other students from being offered a room. T: +44 (0)161 275 7680 W: www.manchesterstudenthomes.com Salford City Council run a voluntary landlord accreditation scheme. All registered properties and landlords must comply with statutory requirements and an additional code of standards. T: +44 (0)161 793 3270 W: www.salford.gov.uk A list of accredited properties can be found under living/ housing on their website.

Frequently asked questions

Useful information for new and existing students to refer to prior to making their application for accommodation the following information applies to accommodation owned and managed by the University; Castle Irwell, Horlock Court, Constantine Court, Bramall Court and Matthias Court.
How do I apply for accommodation? For further information and guidance on how to apply you can find a full step by step list of instructions on our website on the how to apply webpage. I have forgotten the User ID and Password I used last year. When you go to the login page there is a forgotten password option. When you choose this you will be asked to complete a page that requires your student ID, name and date of birth. You will also need to create a new password that will be memorable to you. You should then click the reset button, this will take you back to the login page where you will be reminded of the User ID you have used to make a previous application/s. There you need to enter the new password you created, when you do this you will be directed to the application page. Which accommodation should I choose? We recommend you view all accommodation locations on our website before deciding where you want to live, taking into account the following: Cost and weekly budget Whether you prefer single or mixed sex accommodation Distance to your building of study. Some locations are closer to the campus than others, there is a free bus that operates during term-time from all of our accommodation sites to the campus every 30 minutes How many people you prefer to share with The type of accommodation you prefer there are various types of accommodation in flats and houses When making your application for accommodation you should always select 3 different options in order of 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice, this will help us to allocate you to a best fit. Am I guaranteed any of my 3 preferences (choices) of accommodation? Unfortunately we cannot guarantee choices; we process applications as we receive them and there may be limited availability at the most popular locations. Where possible the University will look to accommodate one of the preferences, where it is not possible a 'best fit' will be offered. I am an undergraduate and have chosen Salford as an insurance choice, do I need to apply for accommodation or should I wait? If you have chosen Salford as your insurance we would advise that you make your accommodation application as soon as you can. We will only send you an offer of accommodation once you have an unconditional offer to study at Salford, your application will not be processed until then and it is one less thing for you to worry about as a late applicant. Where do I find my student ID (roll) number? The student ID number can usually be found on your conditional offer letter or email. Most students who have an unconditional offer at Salford are sent their ID on a form which is printed on lilac paper. Please note that you do not require your student ID number to apply for accommodation, please refer to our application step-by-step guide. Am I guaranteed accommodation? All first year undergraduate and postgraduate students, including international students, are guaranteed a place in University accommodation provided you receive an unconditional offer of study by 1 September 2010 and you have also applied for accommodation by 1 September 2010. I have a medical condition or disability; what do I need to do? If you have a disability or medical condition that affects the type of accommodation you require, please disclose this information on your application form. The Accommodation Services Team will be better able to allocate suitable accommodation that meets your individual needs if you do so at the earliest opportunity. A member of the Accommodation Services Team will contact you to discuss your individual needs. If you have any concerns or would like support before you apply for accommodation you can contact the Disability Service on 0161 295 0023 for an appointment with a Disability Adviser. They can help to assess your needs and develop a Student Support Plan which will cover all relevant aspects of your student life. They will also be able to advise the Accommodation Services Team on making reasonable adjustments or providing specialist equipment for your accommodation. I am a care leaver, do I need to include this information in my application? If you disclose this information in your application Accommodation Services Team will be better able to allocate suitable accommodation that meets your individual needs. If you confirm that you are a care leaver on the online accommodation application form, the Accommodation Services Team will contact you. If you dont select this option, there is a Student Life Care Leaver Co-coordinator who will be able to liaise with the Accommodation Services Team to ensure that the accommodation contract suits your requirements.

Can I live near friends? Yes this isnt a problem if you wish to share with a specific person or people who will also be new students at Salford, all members of the group must complete a group application (which you can select when making your application) ensuring your friend(s) do the same. If possible you should make your application at the same time to ensure that your requests are received together. If all friends dont give each others name we may not be able to allocate you and it will delay your applications. How do I select quieter area accommodation? When making your application you should select this field to ensure your preference for a quieter area is noted in your application; please refer to the information on the website for further details of this option. I have made a mistake on the form, how do I change the details? If you think you may have made a mistake, or you would like to double check any of the details on your application, please contact us by email at accommodation@salford.ac.uk giving us your full name and student ID, if possible, in order for us to amend any information.
