2025

Dear Junior Members, 

If you would like to stay on in College later than the end of this term on Saturday 21st June at a cost of £19.00 per night, you need to apply for permission by completing an online request form, using your single sign on account.

Vacation residence online applications OPEN at 8:00am on Sunday 25 May 2025
Online applications CLOSE at 11:55pm on Friday 30 May 2025.

Applications made after the deadline will not be accepted.

Students who have exams during 9th or 10th week do NOT need to apply for vacation residence and have been automatically been granted permission to remain for their exams. If you did not receive a confirmation email, and believe you are required to stay up, you need to apply for vacation residence.

You are reminded that there is no automatic right to stay in College and further details of the College’s Policies and Procedures regarding Vacation Residence can be found in the Regulations for Junior Members, together with information on the limited storage available in College for international students during vacations.

Please note that when vacating a room you must completely clear all of your belongings, and leave your room and ensure keys are returned to the Lodge by 10am (students in Cardo can leave the keys to the caretaker in Cardo). When moving to a different room, the room can be accessed from 2pm.

If you need to temporarily store your belongings on your departure date after 10am while you wait before leaving/moving to another room, you can use the following spaces:

  • Main College: JCR
  • Carrodus Quad: down to the gates (it is undercover)
  • St Aldate’s House: the kitchens
  • Cardo: living room

For those that will be completing their course this Summer and leaving Queen’s or going on their year abroad, you MUST remove your bicycle from College property and you are not permitted to leave any belongings in storage.

Additional Information

Kitchen
Information regarding the catering after 8th week will be sent out later by the end of term.

Library
All College Members will be kept fully informed via the “Library Opening Hours” page of the website, noticeboards, via email and Instagram. The Library team will be on hand to provide assistance should you need it – just come to the enquiries desk or drop into the office.
