Students with physical disabilities and/or medical conditions may need priority for a particular type of accommodation because of their condition.
For example, you may need priority for ensuite because of a medical condition, priority for self-catered accommodation because of significant dietary conditions, or you may feel it will be a strain for you to be living off-campus because of your condition.
We also have rooms available that feature standard adaptations for wheelchair users.
Each of these rooms is fitted with a panic alarm and has a either a large wet-room with shower seat or shower cubical area with seat, handrails and an additional panic alarm.
Each wheelchair user will have individual requirements depending on their level of mobility, so it's essential to talk to the Disability Coordinator (disability@chi.ac.uk) by 31 March to make sure we allocate the most appropriate room, and implement any necessary adaptations before your arrival.
Other minor modifications to rooms and residences can be made according to your requirements - talk to the Disability Coordinator Steve O'Melia to discuss your needs on disability@chi.ac.uk.

If you need to cancel your accommodation before you arrive you will need to let the Accommodation Office know, either in writing or by email before the beginning of the academic year.
For 2022 entry we trialled a postcode exclusion zone, which meant that students local to the university were excluded from our accommodation guarantee, but we would try to accommodate them. In practice, for our intake in September 2022 we were able to allocate accommodation to all UCAS applicants who wanted accommodation, and applied on time, regardless of postcode.
As a result of this, and the fact the University has increased the amount of accommodation available, we have decided that the postcode exclusion zone is no longer required. Therefore, as long as students meet the other elements in the criteria, they will be eligible for university managed accommodation regardless of location or postcode, which we hope comes as good news.
