Application Process
All students should apply for University accommodation using our Online Accommodation Application.
Applications for the 2012-13 academic year are now being accepted. If you are due to arrive for the remainder of the 2011-12 academic year you can still apply. Select the relevant year from the drop-down on the My Details page.

You must complete all stages of the application process. Your responses will determine which accommodation you will be allocated. You are asked to list two different types of accommodation and to rank your named preferences, but you should be aware that some residences are very popular and often oversubscribed.
Please note, these are preferences only and you should not regard them as a guarantee of that particular site/room. We will try to meet your requests; however, it is not always possible to do so. We will attempt to house you in accommodation with similar facilities to those you have selected, based on the availability of rooms on the day of allocation. To maximise your chances of allocation to a preferred residence, you are advised to be flexible in your selection, for example, to think about a different location.
If you are a postgraduate student you will be expected to pay an application fee of £500 at the time of completing the form and you will be directed to the university’s secure payment site. Please note: until your application fee is paid, your application is incomplete and will not be processed.
You may leave your application at any point during the process and your details will be saved so you can return at a later date and complete the form. Please remember to complete your application by the stated guarantee date of 30 June 2012. You will know when you have completed your application as you will receive a confirmation e-mail from us.
If you encounter any difficulties in completing the online Accommodation Application, please refer to the Help section above. If you still encounter difficulties, please contact us by sending a web enquiry form and we will investigate the matter for you.
If you do not want University accommodation or assistance with finding external accommodation, you do not need to complete the Application Form. If your circumstances change at a later date please contact us.
