What is your cancellation policy at PMG? Can I cancel if I’ve already booked or paid?
23/24 Academic Year
You have booked a Clearing Room (see special cancellation terms for Clearing Rooms below) you can cancel free of charge if you are within your cooling off period; your cooling off period is 5 days from the date of booking, for bookings made until 28th May 2023, and 48 hours for bookings made on or after 28th May 2023.
You can also cancel free of charge under the below additional policies:
“No Place, No Pay”
If you are declined a place to study at a university located in the same city as your PMG accommodation, you may cancel and obtain a full refund,
You are declined a place for any reason other than not meeting the academic requirements to obtain a place (including, but not limited to, academic or other misconduct, financial reasons, or withdrawing from your application or course)
You did not complete all necessary steps required by your university to complete your application in time
The Occupation Period outlined in your Licence Agreement has begun.
If you are initially declined a place to study at university, or progress into the next academic year, you must immediately notify PMG if you intend to appeal the decision.

Should you need to make a request to cancel your accommodation under any of the above policies, you should send your request in writing (with supporting evidence attached) to PMG mail.

PMG WiFi speeds are as follows:
• 250 mbps Wi-Fi in all buildings in the UK and 100 mbps in PMG buildings in Spain

PMG will confirm to you whether you will continue to benefit from this additional policy during and subsequent to your appeal being made.
Do I need to pay for a TV license and council tax as a student living at PMG?
If you plan on watching/recording any live terrestrial TV or on BBC iPlayer, you will need to pay for your own TV Licence. You can set up your TV Licence. You only need a TV Licence if you’re living in the UK. If you’re living in Spain, you do not need to buy a TV Licence. You shouldn’t need to pay council tax in the UK as a full-time student. PMG might ask for evidence of your student status at any point during your stay in order to ensure you are exempt from council tax.
