This information should be collected once per academic year. If a student is in temporary accommodation at the time of collection but has permanent accommodation agreed, then the planned accommodation should be returned in this field.

'Institution-maintained property' includes housing owned by the provider and property leased by the provider and sublet to learners.
-
Code 6 'Not in attendance at the institution’ should be used for learners not currently in attendance at the provider for reasons such as an industrial placement or a language year abroad.
-
Code 7 'Own residence' includes a learner's permanent residence, which may be either owned or rented by them.
-
Code 8 'Other rented accommodation' refers to a more temporary arrangement, for example where a number of learners each rent a room in the same house on a yearly basis.
