Allocation and offers process 

We need at least 5 working days to process applications. 

If a suitable room is available on the dates you have requested, we will send you an offer. We will aim to contact you no later than 1 week before your requested check-in date.

We will ask you to login to the Accommodation Portal to view and respond to your offer. You must respond by the deadline stated in the offer email. Failure to do so will mean your offer will be cancelled. 

If a room within your stated budget is not available we will contact you to discuss alternatives. If a suitable room is not available, you will need to look for accommodation in the private sector. 

Paying for your short-term summer accommodation

You can view your invoice on your financial statement. This will be available within seven working days of accepting your offer.

You will then have 30 days to pay for your short-term summer accommodation. For payment instructions, visit our Pay your fees page. 

You will also need to pay a £50 cleaning fee.
