After you have applied

Timelines and next steps for after you have applied for your student accommodation.

Your room allocation

We understand how important your accommodation choice is, and we’re here to help make the process as smooth as possible.

We spend April and May allocating rooms according to your applications. We sort applications in batches by date order, preferences and suitability to ensure the best match possible.

For the best chance of securing your preferred room type, apply as early as you can. We do everything we can to provide accommodation close to your campus but some rooms may require a short journey to get to where you’re studying.

Accommodation offer

We’ll email you an offer of accommodation from June 2025 onwards. Don't worry if you haven't heard from us until then — we'll be busy processing all of the applications.

From June, please check your email regularly, including junk mail, for any updates from us. 

Due to high demand, we will only be able to send you one offer of accommodation. You must accept this offer and pay the £400 advanced rent payment within five calendar days to secure your room.

Accepting and securing an offer

Once we send you your accommodation offer, you’ll have five days to accept it and secure your room with an advance rent payment of £400.

Moving in

During August, we’ll email your accommodation induction and moving in information. 

Once you've completed your Accommodation Induction you can book your arrival slot for Frenchay or Glenside accommodation. City centre residents should look out for information from their building operator.

Our main 2025 Welcome weekend take place Thursday 11 September to Sunday 14 September 2025.

No longer need accommodation?

If you accept an offer of accommodation and then no longer need it, just make sure you contact the accommodation team by the end of August. We’ll then have enough time to allocate your room to someone else, and we can refund your advanced rent payment.
