Parents of Durham University 2022 Applicants

Last year Durham was really oversubscribed but I think they managed to keep everyone in Durham. I know some people were in the viaduct (which is a common spot to live if you are a second and third year student) and some other were in private accommodation around the town. The further away I know were people in Ernst place which is 35 mins from town but there is a bus so it wasn't such a terrible commute

How many people still waiting do we think? Is it worth us getting together?

I honestly don't know and I don't even have any information to make an educated guess

Is there anything we can do or someone we can speak to about this?

I'm not too sure, I'm trying to think of something that could be delivered to someone that could genuinely fix this problem but that also wouldn't slow down this process even more. If I can think of something I'll get back to you

Has anyone in Stephenson college received arriving day and time slot yet? We still not received any information..

When my son got re-located to Stephenson a few days ago it confirmed his accommodation contract dates which says from the Saturday at 2pm, so I’m assuming that’s his moving in day/time

Really appreciate it

Yes, we have been told the same all rent contracts start from 2pm on 24th.

But the moving in dates and times could still be either am or pm on the 24th or even the 25th.

I found a couple of possibilities so I'd suggest emailing the one that you think works the best.
1) Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Colleges and Student Experience), Mr Jeremy Cook, [email protected]
2) Senior Manager (Residential Student Services), Mr Matt Deakin, and the only way to contact him is with this form
All this contact info can be easily found on Durham's website and I didn't have to log in with my student account. Also, I never contacted either of them so I'm not sure if the emails etc are still working but I'd suggest adding a read receipt and also a delivery one so you know if they got it and opened it. Lastly, I would also suggest letting the students write and send this email since the uni can't share personal information with parents

Thanks. Have written to both. Need to confirm subject/ module choices by Thursday……

Was told in an email that modules needed to be confirmed on the banner by 15th

For what I know you can change module until the end of the first week of term. So it might possible that they will also move this deadline as they moved the college allocation one

It’s just so stressful not knowing and it seems like only 1 other person on this chat is also in the position of no college allocation.

Unless they are duplicated on here, there are several parents on the "WIWIKAU" and "Parents of current & prospective university students in the UK" Facebook groups whose students are in the same position.

Are these overseas students!
