No council tax included: Used if property is occupied by two students or occupied by a student and their partner where the partner is exempt from paying Council Tax.
75% council tax included: Used if property is occupied by a student and their partner who has no exemption from paying council tax, or by a single member of staff or a member of staff with a partner who is exempt from paying council tax.
100% council tax included: Used if property is occupied by a member of staff and their partner who has no exemption from paying council tax.

*Prices subject to change with changes to council tax.

Guest bedrooms are available year-round for short stays of up to 28 days and may be booked by students, staff and visitors. Bedding and towels are provided and beds made Monday to Friday but not on weekends, public holidays or during University closure periods. All guest accommodation is self-catered.

Value Added Tax (VAT) is not charged on accommodation fees where the reason for the stay is to attend a course (including short courses) being run by the University. VAT charges are determined by who will occupy the room and the reason for their stay not who books it (see notes on Value Added Tax below).

If you book short-stay accommodation you will be asked to pay in full for the accommodation when you make the booking.

Please note: the prices given may be subject to amendment and should be used for guidance purposes only.

*Prices are per room per night and for the room only

These rooms are usually only available from mid-June to end of August during the University Summer Vacation. They can be booked for more than 28 days and the length of booking affects whether Value Added Tax (VAT) is charged (see notes below on Value Added Tax).

If you book Short Stay Accommodation you will be asked to pay in full for the accommodation when you make the booking. If you book a room for more than 28 days during the summer vacation you will be asked to make a payment of at least 28 days accommodation fees when you make the booking.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Students	VAT is not charged on accommodation fees where the person staying is a registered student of the University of Surrey and they are staying in our long stay accommodation. VAT is charged on all short stays including guest rooms, graduation rooms, exam rooms, etc
Staff	VAT is charged on stays of up to 28 days (e.g. guest rooms). Where a member of staff stays for more than 28 continuous days the stay can be treated as their main residence and no VAT needs to be charged. Staff are individuals who are on the University Salary Payroll or employed on a regular basis through Unitemps.
Visitors	Visitors, including students whose course has ended and prospective students, will be charged VAT on the first 28 days of their stay. If they stay longer than 28 days VAT will not be charged on the remainder of the booking.

Paying for your room

You will be asked to make an advance fee payment of £250 when you accept your room, but there is nothing else to pay for your room until your invoice is sent to you. This will be done after you have moved in.

Your invoice for accommodation fees will normally be sent to your University email account within 14 days of you moving in.

The invoice will be for the whole of your license period, and if you are staying for more than 15 weeks it will be split into instalments.

Below is an example of how much you would pay for each instalment if you live in one of our Band D3 rooms costing £179 per week during the 2024/25 academic year:

Payment	Period covered	Pay by date	Amount due
1	Advance Fee Payment	On room offer	£ 250
2*	14 September 24 to 28 December 24 (15 weeks, less prepayment)	18 October 2024	£ 2,685
3	28 December 24 to 29 March 25 (13 weeks)	19 January 2025	£ 2,327
4	29 March 25 to 9 June 25 (10 weeks 2 days)	19 April 2025	£ 1,841.14
5	9 June 25 to 30 August 25 (11 weeks 5 days)	29 June 2024	£ 2096.86
Total			£ 9,200

* The payment date of second instalment may be later than this date as it is based on the date that the accommodation invoice is sent to you .

**Undergraduates are allocated for the period 14 September 2024 to 9 June 2025 so they will make the first four payments. Postgraduates are allocated for the period 14 September 2024 to 30 August 2025 so they will make all of the payments.

The pay by dates for the above instalments are designed to be just after most students receive their funding from Student Finance England. If the instalment dates don't work for you, then please speak to your student financial adviser whose contact details will be on page two of your accommodation fee invoice.
