It is essential that you advise us of your expected arrival date and time by emailing us at dumfries-accommodation@glasgow.ac.uk in order that we make the appropriate arrangements for you.

Banned Items

It is really important that we all live in residences safely. For that reason we have a list of items that you are not allowed to have in residence. If we find an item on this list in your room (or flat), it will be removed and you can collect it at the end of your stay with us.

Bedding

You need to bring or arrange your towels, bedding and bed linen. We are unable to accept deliveries in advance of your arrival. The only exception to this is UniKitOut bedding orders placed by Wednesday 3 September 2025.
