Secured a Clearing offer at BCU and worried that there might not be any accommodation left? Don’t worry! We guarantee accommodation for all Clearing students who apply on time. Here's how to secure your place and what to expect.
Is there still student accommodation left for BCU students?
You can apply for accommodation once you’ve had your Clearing offer confirmed by us. We’ll support you throughout the process, so relax and let us find the best accommodation for you.
We have a wide range of accommodation options to live with other students, close to academic and social spaces close to campus.
We still have places available for students applying through Clearing and whose insurance choice is BCU. Accommodation is guaranteed if you apply by 13 September 2025.
How do I apply for accommodation?
To apply for a place in University accommodation you must:
Step 1
Using your University Applicant number register in the Accommodation Portal. Please note that once you hold a firmly accepted unconditional offer, it may take up to two days before our accommodation system recognises the change to your offer status allowing you to apply online.
Step 2
Apply for accommodation using the Clearing/Insurance Accommodation Application.
Step 3
Upon completion, an offer of accommodation will be emailed to the email address you gave in the application.
Step 4
You will then be given 3 days (UK applicants) and 5 days (EU/International applicants) to accept the offer. A guarantor will be required for the majority of the accommodation. You will also be required to make an advance payment to accept the offer of accommodation by a deadline date.
