Arriving in September
Most people move into halls during Welcome Weekend, which this year is Saturday 15 - Sunday 16 September 2012.
Don't worry if you can't move in during that weekend - it's easy enough to make alternative arrangements.

A chance to relax
We know that starting university will be a big day for you and your family, so we want to give you, your family and friends the chance to sit down for a few minutes and enjoy a tea or coffee on us.
There will be a special 'family area' at Kedleston Road on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 September. And at Buxton you can relax in the common room.
Car parking
There's limited car parking at each of our halls and they tend to get very busy when everyone's arriving. So you'll only be able to leave your car on site while you unpack. Don't worry though, there are plenty of car parks nearby. And there's metered street parking near most of our halls, where you can usually stay for up to four hours
If you're arriving on Saturday and have been allocated a car parking permit we ask you to park your car off site on Sunday between 10am and 6pm, so that people arriving on Sunday can unpack.
