In all other accommodation, you will be charged the full weekly rate during your holiday period and may leave your luggage in your room. If you book a course of 12 weeks or more (and need a visa to enter the UK) you should request extra weeks when applying for your visa, if you wish to take a holiday either during or after your course. This does not apply to students on courses 14, 15 and 16. ■ Semester and Academic Year Courses (Courses 14, 15 and 16): 28 week programme: 4 weeks’ holiday, 36 and 42 week programme: 6 weeks’ holiday, 48 week programme: 8 weeks’ holiday.
