Support for Homeless Students
Homelessness and Emergency Accommodation
If you find yourself homeless or unable to access your own accommodation, for any reason, the University can provide advice and signpost you to the local homelessness and housing services who can provide the appropriate specific information and advice regarding your circumstances.
If it is an emergency and you have nowhere to stay, you should present yourself to your local council and advice them you are homeless and the council housing department can assess and advice you further.
You can also contact student money advice team studentmoney@beds.ac.uk or student.engagement@beds.ac.uk who can review your current circumstances and offer short term support and advice.
