Union Advice Centre

The Union Advice Centre provides an independent, free and confidential service open to all UEA students. You can pick up leaflets and information about a range of subjects and the friendly staff can offer face-to-face advice on just about anything. If we can’t help you, we’ll send you to someone who can.

The Advice Centre will

close on Friday 3 May 2013 and

re-open on Tuesday 7 May 2013.



Thinking about moving out of your accommodation? In order to safeguard getting your deposit back you need to ensure the property is in the same condition it was when you moved in – excepting “fair wear and tear”, so if it was immaculately clean that’s how you need to return it – you could ask your landlord to visit before you move out and point out anything they feel needs special attention before you leave the property. If people are moving out at different times please agree in advance how you plan to clean and dispose of any unwanted items. If you want to chat anything through please call into the Union Advice Centre – we are open Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm (except Wednesday 11am – 5pm).

Please see the attached for information on how to dispose of large items.

Still looking for accommodation / housemates / have a spare room? If you are interested in attending another Housing Social please contact Home Run – homerun@uea.ac.uk – and we will try and arrange one before the summer break.
