Useful information

If you decide to bring a bicycle with you onto campus, our Security team can help by registering your bike for free. You can do this by visiting our Security Office and one of our team will record the bike's details along with your own. This will reduce the risk of your bike being stolen as it is a visible and effective deterrent for bike thieves. Once you have registered your bike a unique numbered label will be fixed to a conspicuous part of the bike frame. This way if the bicycle is reported missing and is recovered it can then be returned to you.

On campus we have a number of places where you can store your bike and all of our student halls have cycle storage. When storing your bike make sure to use a D-Lock (these are far more secure than chains, cables or padlocks) on both your front, rear wheels and the frame to a solid immovable object. You can also look at purchasing anti-theft bolts for the wheels.

Any lost property that is found on campus will be brought to the Security office. Any items found will be held for a maximum of 28 days. If an item is not collected by then it will either be donated to charity or disposed of.
