CUBO administers the UUK/GuildHE Accommodation Code of Practice for University Managed Student Accommodation (ACoP). This is one of three codes of practice for the higher education sector that were approved by Parliament in April 2006, and has over 140 university members. The information on this website is for universities that are, or wish to become, ACoP members and for auditors. Information for students can be found on the Student Accommodation Code website.
The 2023 UUK/GuildHE Accommodation Code of Practice Review is underway, as we update and shape the Code’s future. Code members’ views have been sought on the Code as it is - whether it meets the evolving needs of institutions and students – as well as future development. The review considers all areas of The Code, from content to structure, effectiveness and language. There will be an online roundtable with members on the new Code in September, before it goes to the Governance Board and then for Parliamentary approval. The participation of members in the review has been invaluable.
