Allocation criteria
Following confirmation that you have firmly accepted an unconditional offer to study at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ, allocation will be based upon;
- the date your application was received
- the availability of your accommodation preferences
- exceptional circumstances (e.g. medical criteria)
Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ reserves the right to change any offer of accommodation. Only Accommodation Services can guarantee your place in the halls of residence which are displayed on this website.
New students
- We will guarantee to offer you a room in one of our halls of residence, based on demand and availability.
- If you submit a later application (after A-Level results day), whilst we operate on a first come first served basis, and specific room types are dependent on availability, there will still be accommodation available and we will guarantee you a room offer.
Returning students
We guarantee to offer you a room in your preferred residence provided we receive your application by 31 March and subject to the terms outlined below.
- An offer of accommodation will only be made once we have checked your suitability as a returning student with your previous landlord/hall manager.
- Only the halls requested can be guaranteed. Individual room numbers or room type requests cannot be guaranteed.
- Group application requests received after 31 March may not be considered. An alternative option may be offered to groups where demand is high.
- If we receive your application after 31 March, we cannot guarantee to offer you your preferred choice of accommodation.
Gender preference
- Wherever possible all flats within halls will be allocated on a mixed-gender basis.
- Please explain any preference or requirement for single-gender accommodation in the notes section of your application.
- No guarantee can be made where demand is high for single-gender accommodation. This may result in being allocated to an alternative residence and in some cases may also be above your preferred budget.
