Guaranteed housing

We will have at least 300 guaranteed housing spaces for clearing students.

Students applying for University managed accommodation will be informed asap whether their application falls within the guaranteed number of places.

From early July,we aim to inform all International Clearing students of their guarantee of an offer within five working days of them receiving a course offer and joining the housing waiting list.

We will then send out room details to these students in late July and early August.

We will endeavour to allocate the remaining guaranteed clearing students after A Level results (August 10) within five working days of their course offer.
