We have a number of disabled adapted rooms offering additional space and equipment. The majority of these rooms are available in Singer and Priory Hall.
We are unable to offer you an early arrival. We therefore advise that you book a bed and breakfast or a hotel http://www.bedandbreakfasts.co.uk/propertysearch.asp?location=Coventry+University in the local area until the start date of your contract.
Due to the course starting two weeks prior to the start of the normal academic term we can offer you accommodation in Singer Hall and Priory Hall and start the contract from the 12th September 2009. All other accommodation is available for you to book, but you would need to take the option of two weeks in Priory Hall and then move to your chosen property on the 26th September 2009. The normal contract length associated with the property will then apply.
If you are studying at Coventry University for the full year then you can opt to stay in any of our accommodation. If you are only coming for a short course, then we can offer you accommodation in Priory Hall for the duration of your time of study.
