Accommodation

You will be able to apply for your accommodation from Tuesday 7th May - 23rd June 2024.

You will need to do this via the Online Accommodation Portal once you have logged on to your ChiView account.

This does NOT operate on a first come first served basis. Once the portal closes all the applications will be viewed as equal and go into our accommodation allocation system which will allocate rooms based on people’s preferences.

Find out more on our how to apply page.

You will be advised, via email, of the accommodation you have been offered by the beginning of September.

Most facilities are shared between 5 to 7 people.

Due to a lack of parking facilities, we are unable to offer parking to students living in our university-managed properties.

Students allocated accommodation at Havenstoke houses can apply for a parking permit at an additional cost of £275.73 for the period of the accommodation license (39 weeks).

Residents at Stockbridge and Fishbourne Road halls are not permitted to bring a car into the city due to planning restrictions.

We have teamed up with Stagecoach to offer our students free transport between campuses, please see the U7 bus timetable on the Stagecoach website for further information.

You need to be covered by a valid TV licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast or via iPlayer. This includes the use of devices such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or DVD/video recorder.

You will need to bring bedding and towels, crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, pots and pans and any start up groceries you may require.

All kitchens will be provided with kettles, toasters, microwaves, ovens and mop/bucket.

Further details will be included in your e-induction sent during the first week of September or can be found in your Handbook for Residents.
