Am I guaranteed University-arranged accommodation?
We will guarantee you a room in University-arranged accommodation* for one year if you:
-
firmly accept your offer of a place on a course at the University of Nottingham
-
apply to us for accommodation by midnight on Friday 4 August 2023
-
accept your accommodation licence/tenancy agreement and the terms and conditions by the deadline given in your residential offer letter
* In order to fulfil our guarantee we may offer accommodation that is not in one of our advertised residences. We may also offer temporary accommodation or a place in a room shared with another student for a short time. We offer this until we are able to transfer you to suitable permanent accommodation.
In catered halls what is the difference between a 31 and a 39-week licence?
31-week licence is term-time only.
39-week licence includes four weeks of accommodation during Christmas and four weeks of accommodation in Easter vacation on a room only basis. Easter vacation does include catering.
You will be required to fully vacate your room during the vacation periods unless you have booked a 39 week licence.
Will I get my first choice of accommodation?
Rooms are allocated upon receipt of your application in line with availability at that time and we therefore recommend you apply as soon as you can once you have firmly accepted your offer with the University.
You shall need to make a minimum of three preferences on your accommodation application so ensure you choose these according to your preferences.
Will I get more than one offer of accommodation?
Students will receive only one offer of accommodation from the preferences they selected on their application. If they are unhappy with the offer, they will need to contact the accommodation office to discuss their options.
The accommodation I wanted to apply for is not showing on the online application form, can I still apply for it?
Unfortunately not, if we no longer have any availability for a certain room type/site then the relevant option is removed from the online application form. You will need to make your selections based on the preferences listed as available at the time of application.
I have submitted my application, can I change my preferences?
Once you have submitted your accommodation application it is not possible to amend via the accommodation portal.
If you have made an error on your application, you will need to contact us via the enquiry form. Please remember to include your full name and ID number in all correspondence.
I need a specific room due to my medical needs
Please provide details in your online application and we will contact you to discuss further. If you have any queries before you submit your application, please contact us via the
enquiry form.

I have decided not to continue with my studies and leave the University. Can I get a refund on my accommodation?
Where a student has suspended [TC2] or withdrawn from the University their liability for accommodation fees may be reduced in consideration of their ceasing to be a full-time registered student.
Liability for accommodation fees will be assessed based on your registration status with the University, the date you plan to leave, the date of your leaver’s request submission, and any exceptional medical considerations/circumstances (supporting documentation will be required).
More detail on this is available on the accommodation web pages.
Can I request a room exchange?
If you are in halls and want to move to another room it is possible, find our guidance on how to start this process below.
- To log your request with Accommodation Services please complete the online transfer request form.
- For room transfer requests from or to third party sites you will need a replacement for your licence as you will have a legally binding contract with your current accommodation provider and we will therefore need to match you with another student who wishes to move to your provider.
- Please note that we are unable to guarantee that we can resolve your transfer request as this will be dependant upon a number of factors.
- Timeframes for assisting may vary considerably however if we have been unable to assist earlier you can expect an update on your request every four weeks.
Please submit our Transfer Request Form
