Special arrival information
It is not possible for everyone to move in on the same day just before the start of your course, so please consider carefully when you will be able to make the journey and move into your room.
We also ask that only the student and their immediate household travel to the site to limit the numbers of extra people visiting the building at this time.
Every tenant must book a key collection appointment using the link in the personal e-mail you will receive
Keys can be picked up from Unipol Nottingham office:
28 Shakespeare Street
Nottingham
NG1 4FQ
There is no parking outside the Unipol office, so you may find it useful to park at Trinity Square Car Park, and then take the short walk across to Unipol to collect your key.
Moving in requirements

- Please ensure your rent payment option has been confirmed before you arrive.

Parking
There is no parking on site and it is recommended that you use the train, bus or the tram to travel to Nottingham on your arrival day.

Driving in the city centre

These restrictions apply seven days a week and you need to take care not to contravene them, otherwise it is likely you will receive a fine. Traffweb website details all the restrictions.
