I've been having the same problem. Just rung the accommodation office and they said that not everyone can log onto the portal yet, and even though it was meant to go live on the 27th it's still not working for everyone. They told me just to keep trying, and if I still haven't managed to log on by the 9th then to ring them back.

I'm still worried though, it seems to have worked for near enough everyone else lol!


I had same problem and couldn't get on for ages! But kept trying and going through to get ISS username and password and in the end password came up different to what it had been doing and then it finally worked! :biggrin: Good luck :smile:

Do we get two welcome packs?

I got one from Leeds which is all generic but am I getting one from the faculty school as well?


I got two. A physics arrival guide a week ago and a general guide came yesterday. It also came with a big poster that has all the freshers events listed.

Finally managed to register!! If anyone is having problems then email [email protected]. They are really helpful!
Also do medics have optional modules to enrol on? It says I am not allowed to choose at this time, wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Wow I'd love to be there. You should feel lucky as I'm sure a lot of people who did want to go got allocated somewhere else!

I applied through clearing and I found out today there are 3 options available to me:

Bodington Catered
St Marks until November/January
Shared room wherever there is space

I don't get a choice as to which one I get, so they are not really options. Either way I'm feeling pretty disappointed. :frown:

Don't get every book on your reading list. Odds are, some of the books will be essential whilst others will only be recommended. I advise that you get the essential ones (as finding them in the library may be difficult if lots of people are all after the same book) but don't buy the recommended ones, just get them out of the library if/when you need them.

Also I know this probabaly isnt the best place to ask questions but you all seem to know more than me! lol
What sort of stuff do we have to bring with us when we move in? Like do we have to print off our accommodation contracts and the registration stuff?
