Hello Jemima

In light of the extension to the current Government imposed student travel restrictions until 8 March, the University will be extending the rent waiver for eligible students with on campus accommodation (i.e. a University-owned campus property).
 
You may be eligible for a rent waiver extension if you have a University-owned on campus accommodation contract and have already applied for the original rent waiver from 9 January 2021 to 13 February 2021. Only students who have applied for the original rent waiver are eligible to apply for the rent waiver extension. The extended waiver will be for an additional 3 weeks up to 6 March 2021.
 
Once the University receives guidance from the Government on how and when students should return to campus, we will communicate this accordingly.
 
How do I apply for the rent waiver extension?
 
If you have already applied for the original rent waiver from 9 January 2021 to 13 February 2021 and would like to apply for the 3 week rent waiver extension, you will need to complete a new application. You can access full details here including Terms and Conditions, FAQs and the web form to apply. You will note that restrictions do apply and you will not be eligible for the rent waiver extension if you have already returned, or return to your on campus accommodation during the Government imposed travel restrictions. The only exception will be if you access your room to collect medical equipment or essential items required for online learning.
