Yes, but you will need to give them third party permissions. Please note, giving someone third party permissions is not the same as listing someone as your University trusted contact.
What is third party permission?:
During the application process, you will be able to nominate another person to talk about your application on your behalf (e.g. Parent/Guardian). Giving this person third party permissions will enable the Accommodation Team to contact the nominated person(s) in the following ways:
- we can provide information about your accommodation application, room requirements and details of the licence
- we can provide them with a copy of your licence agreement, confirm your term time address and share details about the balance of your account
- we will copy them into emails when we send you reminders to accept your room offer, complete the fire safety module and when payments are due
- we may occasionally discuss other matters with them where deemed appropriate, but we will always expect students to be the principal point of contact on any issues.
Please note that we will not discuss anything other than the above information with someone who has third party permission.
What is a trusted contact?
When you enrol, the University will ask for the details of someone they can contact in case of emergency. A person who is a trusted contact does not have the right to discuss your accommodation account. You can find out more information about
trusted contacts on our website.
