Everything you need before and after move-in day

Moving into halls is exciting, but there's a lot to sort before you arrive and things to do once you're settled in too. From packing smart to registering with a GP, saving on food and art supplies, and meeting people at our events, we've pulled together everything you need in one place.

Before Arrival

Before you arrive, there's one essential task you need to complete: our compulsory e-induction. You won't be able to collect your room key without completing it, so make sure it's done before move-in day.

Watch your UAL halls webinar recording to meet your Residence Manager and find out answers to common questions.
