"Accommodation is such a big part of going to university and we fully endorse The Student Accommodation Code, which gives students somewhere to turn to when things aren’t going quite as well as they could be."
UCAS
How is The Code enforced?
Each university and college is independently audited every three years to ensure that its management arrangements for student accommodation are up to the high standards expected by The Code. This ensures that The Code is entirely accountable and transparent. To ensure that the auditing processes are as rigorous as possible, auditors follow a four step process for each investigation. This involves:
- Talking to students or student representative bodies.
- Inspecting documentary evidence.
- Conducting a physical inspection of a sample of the accommodation.
- Investigating any formal complaints made by students.
