Non-Student College Accommodation Requests

We do not have a stock of accommodation specifically for visitors and/or non-students.

Short-term accommodation requests are accepted for staff or non-student visitors to the University only.

Visiting students should not apply for accommodation using this form. Please contact us directly should you need any further information.

Non-student requests for accommodation can be made through submission of an online form. Before submitting the form please:

• Ensure you have liaised with the relevant department
• Ensure you are fully registered with the University as a visitor in the appropriate capacity
• Registration for your visit is confirmed - staff to be registered with Human Resources and non-student visitors to be registered with Legal Services and holding an appropriate contract for the visit.  An invitation letter only will not be deemed acceptable. 
• Confirmed exact start and end dates for your visit and request.

We are unable to look into any potential accommodation arrangements if any of the above are not confirmed.

Priority for college accommodation is provided to full time students in the first instance. Requests therefore cannot be guaranteed availability.

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/.

The actual price of the accommodation may vary given the length of stay of individual requests. All charges above are inclusive of utilities bills and, where available, and access to the university network.

Council tax is not included and any charge made for council tax would be related to the appropriate council tax band for the property.
