Arrival slots, keys and hall directions
Moving into Leicester university accommodation
Use the arrival instructions for your allocated residence, as the two universities and private hall providers do not all use the same check-in process.
University of Leicester asks new residents to complete its online Accommodation Welcome before booking an arrival slot through the accommodation portal. The check-in document sent afterwards includes the parking address and must be brought to key collection. For De Montfort University or a private hall, use the date, time and key instructions supplied with your own accommodation confirmation.
Hall maps, carrying distance and restricted streets
Planning access at a Leicester student address
Check the residence map or property instructions before moving day and include the nearest suitable unloading point in the booking details.
University of Leicester provides separate arrival maps for The Village and The City, and the check-in document gives the parking address for the allocated residence. In central Leicester, some streets sit inside Pedestrian Priority Zones controlled by automatic bollards. Leicester City Council says vehicles may enter for loading during the published allowable hours. Outside those times, a vehicle must be pre-registered and permission is granted only in exceptional circumstances.
