Collecting your keys
The first thing you'll need to do when you arrive at your halls is pick up your keys.
Where do I collect my keys?
You can collect your keys from UoM hall receptions between 8am – 6pm. For our leased halls see the specific information below, though most have 24 hour receptions.
To make sure you can collect your keys as quick as possible please bring the below items with you;
- Valid photographic ID
- Your University ID (UID) number
- Accommodation details (hall, block, flat, room)
Out of hours collection for UoM managed halls
If you are due to arrive outside of the hours listed above, please contact the ResLife Advisor for your hall on arrival. ResLife Advisors are available from 6pm - 8am Monday to Friday and 24/7 all weekend.
Out of hours collection for our leased halls
Please see below for guidance on key collection from our leased halls. For the vast majority there is a security team in place and you won't need to contact our ResLife team.
Arriving after the licence agreement starts
If you need to arrive later, you can move in up to 7 days after the start of your licence agreement. If you intend to arrive after this period, you need to email accommodation@manchester.ac.uk stating your new arrival date and the reason for this change.

Drop off by car
There is no general parking available on the Fallowfield Campus. However, during the arrivals period, limited drop-off spaces will be available. Due to the ongoing Fallowfield redevelopment works, capacity is restricted, and spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Vehicles can usually remain in the drop-off area for up to 30 minutes while you unload. After this time, you will be asked to move your car. Please display a mobile phone number on your windscreen in case we need to contact you.
Once you have finished unloading, you can park on nearby public roads. On-street parking is available in the surrounding area, including along Old Hall Lane.

What do I do if I lose my keys?
As soon as you realise you have lost your keys/swipe card you should login to the e-store and pay for a replacement.
When you have paid the fee, take the online receipt to your reception, where another key/swipe card will be issued. If you live in Denmark Road, Kincardine Court, Park View, Piccadilly Point, Square Gardens, Weston, Daisy Bank Hall, Manchester Gardens, Rusholme Place, or Victoria Point, please get in touch with your reception to arrange payment. Where keys have been lost on multiple occasions, we reserve the right to charge a resident for a full lock change, this will include labour and any other associated costs that the University have to pay. No refunds will be given for any keys/swipe cards found after the replacements are issued.
If you lose your keys out of hours and the admin office is shut please contact your hall duty ResLife advisor.
What if I arrive out of hours?
If you are due to arrive out of hours, please contact the ResLife Advisor for your hall and let them know when you're due to arrive.
