You are not able to extend your contract over Easter, you will need to find alternative accommodation.

Where can I stay during the summer vacation?

Vacation accommodation is available during summer vacation only, consisting of a limited amount of rooms. These rooms are located in on-campus rooms and are only available to Warwick students that have a valid ITS account. Prices are as follows: -

Room rate is determined by the hall being used for vacation accommodation.

EN-SUITE ROOM (Shared kitchen facilities) Available during summer only- Summer 2026 = £TBC per night

Summer 2026 vacation accommodation dates | 04 July from 15:00 - TBC September, departure at 10:00

A three consecutive night minimum stay applies. Rooms are limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

During summer vacation - Please be mindful when booking accommodation, our advice is to book for the dates you need rather than making part bookings. We do have an increase of bookings being made during the dates of graduation and exam resits, therefore we cannot guarantee availability throughout.

What is the room allocation process for vacation accommodation?

We try not to pre-allocate rooms. When you come to the Student Information Centre (Ground Floor Senate House) to collect your keys you will be given the first key available. If you wish to be close to a friend then you and your friend should have the same arrival date.

Please make sure you have made this request on your online booking, and come to the Student Information Centre at the same time, otherwise, there is no guarantee you will be allocated next to each other.

During busier arrival days pre-allocation may be implemented to provide a quicker check in process

Post deliveries in vacation accommodation

You must have stated your Warwick ID number in the required field when making your reservation to receive post.

To receive post within your vacation hall. Please address with your name, ID number and vacation room number (room number confirmed on key collection) stating 'vacation accommodation' .

The post room will process any letters or parcels through the student parcel system. You will receive an email notifying of an item delivery and you can collect it from your local student parcel hub. The hub location will be confirmed in the email. (This is not the Residence Hub)
