Information for Prospective Students

Places are normally only available for full-time students registered at UCL requiring accommodation for a full academic year. Our policy is aimed at assisting new first-year students by offering places in student residences. In subsequent years of their programmes students are expected to find their own places using University of London Housing Services.

For further information visit the Eligibility and When to Apply section. 

Only full-time students registered for a programme of study at UCL are eligible to apply for UCL accommodation. If you are holding an offer of a place to study at UCL and need to make an application for accommodation, please visit our Accommodation Applications site.

Online applications open on 16 January 2012.For further information on accommodation applications, visit The Application Process section.

Once you have received email acknowledgement of your application for accommodation, you will not hear from UCL Student Accommodation again until offers of accommodation are made. All offers of accommodation are sent by email. Offers will be made as soon as is practicable (after the announcement of A level results) in mid-August, though some applicants may hear before this.

For further information, visit the Allocation of Places section.

Detailed conditions of the offer made to you and the accommodation regulations will be sent to you electronically with your offer.

For further information on Terms and Conditions, visit the Terms and Conditions section.

UCL is working towards improving its accommodation provision for disabled students. All newly built residences will have facilities for disabled students, and wherever possible adaptations have been and will continue to be made to older residences.
