Accommodation Service procedure for students who are in accommodation arrears:

• E-Document is received via the online accommodation application system
• Student views and formally accepts their offer and agrees to the schedule of fees detailed in the contract page of the e-document
• If fees are not paid on time, correspondence is sent from the Halls Finance team informing the student of their debt if payment is not made in line with the schedule of fees
• If no payment is received a further reminder letter/email (logged on the College finance system) is sent
• Further failure to pay will result in a debt interview being arranged with the Finance Administrator and Deputy Head of Accommodation Services
• Two further requests are made by reminder letter/email (logged on the College finance system) to the student requesting payment
• Should a student persistently default on their payment plan and/or fail to attend debt interviews then a Notice to Quit is served. In such cases Academic heads, Students’ Union and Credit Control are informed accordingly
• Steps are taken to evict the student if the debt remains unpaid at the point of the Notice to Quit expiring
• Any outstanding sums owed will be passed to the Credit Control Department of Goldsmiths who may take legal proceedings if necessary against students in order to recover any outstanding monies owed to the College for accommodation provided. As is standard practice across the sector, this could include appointing an external credit control agency once all internal options have been exhausted
• Any student that has either left halls in debt or has inappropriately managed fees will not be provided with a private sector reference
