Applying for Accommodation

From February onwards, we will contact you and invite you to apply for accommodation within two weeks of firmly accepting your offer.

At this stage, you will be required to confirm your accommodation preferences, including:

• Location
• Room type
• Price point
• Other personal preferences

As part of the accommodation application process, you will also be required to make either an advanced rent payment or a deposit (depending on which accommodation you have applied for) which can be paid online. This is only refundable according to the terms and conditions of the accommodation provider.

The USW Accommodation Guarantee means that you will have a guaranteed room in student halls (non-location specific). Check your eligibility here.

• From 4 weeks after completing the first stage of your application, you will be sent your room details and further instructions on how to confirm your booking.
