Accommodation Licence

Accommodation Licence (Contract)

The lengths of our accommodation contracts (known as your ‘College accommodation licence’) for the 2025-26 academic year are:

• 39 week licence for first year undergraduates, though you have the option to extend over the summer at some halls; and for undergraduates allocated to Evelyn Gardens and Scape Hammersmith
• 51-week licences for first-year undergraduate students who have specifically chosen this option at Kemp Porter
• 51 weeks for postgraduates students at Silwood Park, though you will have an option to take a field trip as required by your course of study

Responsibilities

Imperial aims to offer welcoming, comfortable and secure accommodation. We are committed to providing a supportive and friendly environment for all students, staff, and visitors who use our services. The accommodation licence forms an agreement between ‘You’ and ‘Us’ and should be read very carefully, as it details both parties’ responsibilities:

Conditions

Your accommodation licence is a legally binding agreement. Please read it carefully. If you need clarification on any point, contact the Student Accommodation Office at accommodation@imperial.ac.uk.

Imperial’s offer of accommodation is subject to you being registered as a student at Imperial College London at the start of your accommodation period and remaining registered throughout.

The 2025-26 licence applies to students allocated to Scape Hammersmith through our Continuing Halls application scheme. The Scape Code of Conduct and relevant sections of the licence only apply to students living at this location.

If you are living in accommodation outside Imperial's portfolio, your terms and conditions will be set by your landlord, estate agent, or private accommodation provider. The university strongly advises you to review and understand these terms before signing any contract. The Student Accommodation Office can provide guidance and support on private accommodation matters.
