Booking your university accommodation

Accommodation bookings will open in March, and if you are eligible you will receive an email inviting you to book for accommodation.

Do not worry if you do not receive an email invite straight away; it is not first come first serve, and you have until 30 June to submit a booking.

Read our 2022 allocation policy

When will you hear

We will contact you about your booking for accommodation from July if your offer is unconditional (uf), or from August when you have received a confirmed offer (cf).

You must accept your offer of accommodation within three days.

Accepting your place

  1. To accept the place in halls, you need to sign or accept the accommodation contract online and pay your first instalment of rent within three days of receiving the offer. If you can’t do this, please let us know or we may allocate your room to another student. Your first instalment will be the equivalent of 14 days of rent (not applicable for care leavers).

Making payments

Instalments

You must pay your first instalment of rent within three days of receiving an offer of a room, this will secure the offer for you. Rent is paid in three equal instalments in October, January and April.

Details of how to pay will be sent to you with your offer of a room.

Example of rent payments

If your rent for halls is £5,850, for example, the full tenancy period would be payable in the following instalments, based on a £150 x 39-week contract:

  • £300 within three days of accommodation offer being made
  • £1,864.28 on or before 17 October
  • £1,864.86 on or before 17 January
  • £1,864.86 on or before 23 April.

Discounts

You qualify for a 2% rent reduction if you choose to pay the full annual amount when you accept your offer of accommodation.

Damage deposit

You do not need to pay a damage deposit when you move into halls of residence, however, you will need to pay your first instalment of rent within three days of receiving an offer of a room to secure the offer.

If your accommodation has to be repaired, cleaned or decorated before it can be let again, we will charge you for this. You will not be charged for reasonable wear and tear to your room or furniture.

Problems paying

It is important to pay promptly and the university is entitled to charge interest at 7% annually where payment is late. We are also entitled to terminate your accommodation contract if payment is overdue by 28 days or more.

If you think you may have a problem paying your rent, please arrange to see someone in the income office (01273 642592) as soon as possible.

You could also speak to the student advice service (01273 642888) for advice on loans or grants.
