Allocations policy

Room offers are made (in the order they are received), to applicants who have ‘Unconditional Firm’ offers.

Please make sure that you have read and understood our accommodation terms and conditions before you apply and accept a place in University accommodation.  You will be entering into a legally binding contract for which there is no opt-out clause.  Unless there are serious extenuating circumstances, you will be financially liable for the whole duration of your contract.

All new accommodation contracts are for one academic year.

The Security Bond

All students who stay in University owned accommodation must pay a £700 security bond.  This is refundable when you move out of the accommodation, minus any accommodation debt and/or accommodation charges.

Your Room Offer

Your room offer is valid for 10 days.  If you want us to hold the room for you then you must make a payment of either the security bond, the first terms rent, or both, before your room offer expires.

If you plan on arriving in ³Ô¹ÏÍø prior to this date, you will have to book a hotel room, as we are unable to allow early access to the accommodation.
