If you leave the University of Glasgow, you will not be able to live with us. You’ll have to pay your rent up to the date you leave the University plus a cancellation fee of 28 days of rent.

You need to apply to the University using an Early Departure Form if you are planning to end your contract which will be reviewed by the University.

The UoG will accept a replacement student but you’ll be responsible for paying the rent until the new student moves in.

TV licence

If you are bringing a TV to watch live TV, or if you receive or record live TV programmes on any other device, such as a laptop, you will need a TV Licence. You won’t be covered by your parents’ licence.

You’ll need a TV licence to watch the BBC iPlayer.

For more information and to buy your licence, visit the TV Licensing website. There are a variety of payment plans available.

The TV licensing authorities recognise that most students do not need the final three months of a TV licence as you leave the accommodation during the summer. You may be able to receive a refund for this period, provided that you don’t need your licence again before it expires.

If you do not have a TV Licence but you receive or record live TV you could face prosecution from the TV Licensing Authority.

Laundry

Winton Drive now benefits from Circuit Plus App which will make doing your laundry on-site even easier. The system, created by Circuit, allows you to go online and check the availability of washers and dryers in your building as well as see when other washes are about to end. 

To get started with LaundryView, you first need to find your halls.
