Had an offer from us through Clearing? This guide walks you through the practical steps you need to take to get accommodation ready.
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. For the majority of the accommodation, a guarantor will be required. You will also be required to make an advance payment to accept the offer of accommodation by a deadline date.
Insurance/Clearing students
