How to Apply for a Room

Back to: Homepage

If you would like to apply for University-owned accommodation you MUST have made University of Chichester your first choice.

As soon as you submit your application to the University of Chichester you will receive a login and password to the Admissions Portal on the University's website. Through this portal you can apply for University-owned accommodation and this will go ‘live’ 15 June 2010 at 10am.

Once we have received your electronic application, which must be accompanied with a £200 bond*, accommodation will be allocated strictly on a first-come, first-served basis and you will be notified by post of the accommodation we have reserved for you.

Due to an ever increasing number of students enrolling at University of Chichester, the demand for on-campus accommodation is high. To manage the high demand for University owed and managed accommodation, we have produced guidelines reflecting our allocation policy. Read more

You will be asked to indicate the type of accommodation you would be happy to accept at University of Chichester in order of preference from 1 to 9.

Whilst we endeavour to meet students’ requests for particular accommodation we cannot guarantee University-owned accommodation and if you are successful in securing a room the type of accommodation offered may not necessarily be your first choice or on your requested campus. We would therefore urge you to submit your application as soon as possible to increase your chances of being allocated your preferred type of accommodation.

Once you have submitted your application you will be sent an email to confirm that we have received your application. We would therefore be grateful if you would refrain from ringing to check that we have received it. We will process all applications, allocate rooms and send you written confirmation, including arrival details, before 1 August 2009.

*Bond will be held and refunded at the end of the academic year assuming no damage has been caused to your room or any communal damage to the hostel. Should you decide not to take up your room, £100 will be refunded. If you fail to achieve the grades necessary for entrance to University of Chichester £200 will be refunded. All cancellations and requests for deposit refunds must be made in writing by post to the Accommodation Office or by email to accommodation@chi.ac.uk
