How do I enter my term-time address that is not the same as my home address?
The University must hold a Term-time Address for all students. A term-time address is where you will be living during the academic year whilst you are studying on your course.
If you have been allocated term-time accommodation by Student Living you should not enter your term-time address. This will be updated for you.
After completing Online Registration, you can add a new address via My Details.
