Dear Alex Cassidy

Thank you for your request for information from Durham University.
Colleagues have provided the information below in response to your
questions.

I am requesting information on the availability of sober accommodation
provided by the University:

Is it possible for students to apply for alcohol-free accommodation?

Information is published online at [1]Our Colleges - Durham University by
clicking on each college and viewing the services offered on Accommodation
and Catering for each one.  For this reason, the information you have
requested is exempt under section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act
2000 (FOIA), as it is reasonably accessible otherwise than under the FOIA.

How many students have specified alcohol-free accommodation as a choice
during the application process since 2015? Please split by academic year
if possible, 2015/16, 2016/17 etc.

Information not held

If you are dissatisfied with the University’s response to your freedom of
information request, you can ask us to internally review our handling of
your request, including the application of any exemptions applied. To do
this, please email [2][Durham University request email].

Please state the grounds on which you wish the decision to be reviewed and
enclose any other information that may be useful in considering the matter
further. We aim to inform you of our decision within 20 working days from
the date your request for internal review is received.

If you are not satisfied with the results of the internal review you may
apply to the Information Commissioner's Office for an independent review.
