How to bookFollow the simple steps below to book your accommodation. Use the answers to the right for more help.

Accommodation guaranteeWe can guarantee accommodation to all students who submit their Accommodation Form before the dates below, and have accepted their offer to study.

Questions and answersWhat is a ‘guarantor’?A guarantor is someone who will be legally responsible for any accommodation fees you are unable to or fail to pay.

May I change the length of my accommodation?You may not change your contract length after you have booked and signed your Accommodation Agreement.

What is the Accommodation Agreement?The Accommodation Agreement is a contract confirming the details of your accommodation. By signing your Accommodation Agreement, you are agreeing, under UK law, to pay for your accommodation for the full length of the accommodation contract. What is the Holding Fee?The holding fee indicates to us that you are interested in taking our accommodation. It is £1,000 and can be paid at any time in the application process. Once you receive your Accommodation Agreement, the £1,000 is then divided into £250 for the security deposit and £750 towards the next payment of your accommodation fees.

What is evidence of payment?Evidence of payment can be a copy of the payment receipt, bank statement, banker’s draft or via Flywire.

What happens if I miss the accommodation confirmation deadline?You must complete the required steps in order to secure your booking. If you fail to do so by the accommodation confirmation date, your agreement may be cancelled and your room given to another student to book. If your Accommodation Agreement is cancelled, and you tell us that you would still like to book college accommodation, you will be offered the next available room. If you decide not to take this room, refund of any fees paid will only be granted in line with Kaplan International Pathways terms and conditions, and may be subject to an administration fee being deducted.

When can I move into my room?You will be able to move into your room from the start date of your contract, but only if you have already sent us your signed Accommodation Agreement and first payment.

Can I get a refund if I leave the College?If you leave the College for any reason after starting your course, accommodation fees will not be refunded.

* While every effort will be made to allocate your first choice, we cannot guarantee this, and you may be offered another accommodation type or location.
