Students with disabilities and additional needs
We will make every effort to meet the requirements of students who have special accommodation needs. We have a range of accommodation to suit students with disabilities and health issues, including adapted rooms.
It is important that you notify Disability Support and Inclusion of any requirements you have before you apply for accommodation at Keele, so that your needs can be discussed and any necessary adjustments made. Staff in Disability Support and Inclusion can recommend a range of options from guaranteed accommodation for the duration of your course, to the need for one of the room types below.
More information on how to apply for campus accommodation can be found here.
Students eligible for the DSI reimbursement can find more information about this on the Disability Support and Inclusion webpage.
Further advice can be obtained by contacting a member of Disability Support and Inclusion.

Once the Agreement is accepted you have a 7 day 'cooling-off period'. This means that if within 7 working days of accepting the Agreement you change your mind and notify us by email of that fact, you will be released from the Agreement. The contract is legally binding and if you change your mind you will still be liable for accommodation fees. You can only be released from the contract in exceptional circumstances such as taking a Leave of Absence or Withdrawing from the University. You may transfer your licence to another student as long as the transfer is done with the knowledge and prior written approval of the University Student Accommodation team. The new licensee should be a suitable replacement which means that the balance of genders and nationalities is not adversely affected within the accommodation.
