The timetable was pretty empty for DS and came on an email and you had to click on a link and enter course and College etc.

Hi, has your son or daughter received their 4-digit UCAS code yet for use with setting up a student bank account?

I'm glad we're not the only ones waiting on confirmation of college allocation and to receive an accommodation preference form. I was beginning to think that reallocation was on the cards. Maybe it still is, but the fact that not all the colleges have sent stuff out makes me think it's just slower than we might have hoped.

For anyone looking for an outline timetable, you can enter your definite/presumed college and your faculty and you get a timetable of events.

I don't think I can post links, so go to the dur dot ac dot uk website then forward slash then add this: experience/welcome/planner/

In case links works - use this: https://www.dur.ac.uk/experience/welcome/planner/

If a student doesn’t “need” an interest free overdraft then they should still get one and transfer the interest free overdraft amount into a high interest savings account/bond. Over 3 years there’s quite a bit of interest to be earned and it’s a zero cost “loan” that might be helpful for deposits on rental contracts etc after graduation (most student accounts will extend some or taper down the interest free overdraft after graduation - I still have my student overdraft (£1,750) on my account from 25 years ago)

My son was allocated Trevs a while back but we have had no confirmation from the college post results. He has received his acceptance ID and his enrolment email, but nothing more than that. I expect getting details about the course modules will come soon. But I am really hoping to hear about accommodation this week. It’s unnerving not hearing from his college yet!

My son is allocated Trevs, he got the email regarding his accomodation the day after he accepted the place (email received last Friday), he did say he thought it went in his junk mail though, so make sure your son has checked there

Thank you.
He received a general accommodation one, where he stated his room preference etc, but I don’t think it was from Trevs specifically (and he can’t remember!). I am now asking him to check spam emails too (I think he may be getting fed up with my daily Durham enquiries!).

Hi Has anyone received any information when the Advanced Rent Payment (£200 deposit) needs to be paid? Does anyone know when to expect this information. Presumably this would mean that the colleges have confirmed what accommodation they have allocated us. Would it be by direct debit? (which can take weeks to set up). We are in the middle of trying to sort out student bank account. Thanks.

Thanks for that. I'm guessing that each college will send out rent information separately. Has anyone else received any information? We completed the accommodation form last Friday (19th) and haven't heard anything, not even a confirmation email that they have received it. Just a little worried that the submitted form has disappeared into the internet void. We are at Castle btw. Thanks
