Move-in day
We look forward to welcoming you to campus soon!
Our main arrival days for January 2025 are:
- Wednesday 22 January 2025
- Thursday 23 January 2025
Important
Please note that you cannot move into your accommodation earlier than your contract date, which can be found in the 'Review Accepted Contract' section of our accommodation portal.
If you wish to arrive earlier than the date shown on your contract, please email accommodation@keele.ac.uk to request an earlier arrival. If we can accommodate this, your contract will be adjusted to reflect the earlier arrival date and you will be charged for the additional nights (calculated as your weekly rate divided by seven).
If it is not possible for you to move into your room earlier, we will direct you to our on-campus hotel, the Courtyard by Marriott or other local hotels within the area, which will be at your own expense.
Key collection when you arrive
Please stick to your arrival slot – which you can book online as part of your accommodation induction – wherever possible. You will need to have your accommodation key collection pass, either a printed or digital copy, ready when you arrive.
To help us process key collections as quickly as possible, please ask friends and family to stay outside the building while you come in to collect your keys. If you arrive by taxi, please ask your driver to wait while you collect your keys so they can take you to your accommodation afterwards.
Please note that you are the only person who can collect your keys.
Where you collect your keys from will depend on your arrival date and time:
Wednesday 22 January
- 9am-5pm: Chancellor’s Building
- After 5pm: Courtyard by Marriott hotel
Thursday 23 January
- 9am-5pm: Chancellor’s Building
- After 5pm: Courtyard by Marriott hotel
If you have booked to arrive outside of these dates, please do the following:
If you arrive between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, please go to the Chancellor’s Building and call our Accommodation team on 07469 414739. One of our team will then come to meet you and give you your key.
If you arrive after 5pm or over the weekend, please go to the Courtyard by Marriott hotel where one of the team will be able to help you.
Please note that if you arrive on a different day to the date you booked, there may be a wait while we arrange to have your key brought to you. Please don’t arrive earlier than your booked day as your accommodation may not be available for you.
