May: Accommodation Issues

Undergraduates Applying via UCAS

Between 9 and 11 May 2012, all applicants who have already firmly accepted their offer or chosen Hull as their insurance choice will receive an email which will be sent to the personal email address registered with UCAS. The email will contain instructions on how to register your details in readiness for using the accommodation on-line application system which opens on Wednesday 16 May at 7AM (UK Time).

Please note: All students who accept their place of study after May will receive further accommodation information in one of the regular mail-outs.  

Allocation
Accommodation is allocated on a first come, first served basis so we strongly advise returning your completed application form as soon as possible to the Accommodation Office.

Deposit
Please note: when applying for accommodation you will be required to pay a £150 deposit. This will then be transferred to your residence account and held as a damage deposition until the end of your residence contract.

In the event that you do not take up the offer of accommodation – the £150 deposit will be refunded. Please note: The University Student Financial Services Office will endeavour to make such refunds by the end of October 2012.

Insurance Applicants
If you are an insurance applicant – you will need to submit an application but will not need to pay your deposit until you have officially accepted a place at the University and received an offer of accommodation.

What happens once I have completed my form and paid my deposit?
Once we have received your completed form and deposit, and your accommodation has been allocated, you will be sent either by post or email: 

• A residence contract which will confirm your accommodation
• Contents insurance information
• Details of how to pay
• Details of when to arrive, where to collect your keys and what to bring.
