Arriving
Arriving at your college
If you're living on campus, find out about moving in to your college, including parking arrangements and the arrivals process.
Arriving out of hours
If you arrive outside of office hours, make your way to the Information Centre on Campus West or the Ron Cooke Hub on Campus East.
Living off campus?
See our advice if you are moving in to private sector accommodation - including a handy moving in checklist to remind you of your key first tasks.
If you're commuting to campus, take a look at our support for local and commuting students.
You're still a member of your college if you live off campus and you're very welcome at all college events and activities!
Collect your Uni Card
Your University card is your ID, printing and library card. Pick it up from a hub in your college on your college arrivals day or from the Information Centre at other times.
Part-time students receive their Uni card in the post and Hull York Medical School students receive their card from their department.
Get online on campus
See our IT information for new users to help you get online. If you're living on campus, there will be instructions on how to get online in your study bedroom. IT Services also run helpdesk sessions to help you sort things out.
