When and how to apply for our UWE Bristol accommodation including information about our accommodation guarantee, how to pay and contract information.
Watch a replay of our live accommodation Q&A and learn everything you need to know before making your accommodation application with us. Our Accommodation Team reps, Hannah and Kaitlin, answer all your questions about the application process and first year student, Lydia, tells us about her experience living in student accommodation in the city centre.
From March 2024, all applicants who have accepted an offer with UWE Bristol (i.e. Conditional Firm (CF) or Unconditional Firm (UF)) will be emailed and invited to create an account in the accommodation portal. Setting up an account will make sure you are ready to submit your accommodation preferences in June.
Use an email address that you can access. Don’t use your school, college or agent’s email address in your application as it is unlikely that you will be able to access it once you start university.
From Thursday 13 June 2024 at 13:00 (BST), applicants can submit their accommodation preferences in the Accommodation Portal, provided you have accepted your offer to study at UWE Bristol. Accommodation Services will then allocate you a room based on your preferences.
When submitting an application, you will be asked to rank all six options in order of preference:
If you submit an application by Wednesday 21 August, and meet the other terms of the Accommodation Guarantee, then you will secure a room in UWE Bristol accommodation.
Within four weeks of submitting an application for accommodation, you will receive an email with an offer of accommodation.
Keep an eye out because offers must be accepted within five calendar days and the Advance Rent Payment paid in full. This reserves the room for September with a legally binding Licence Agreement.
If circumstances change (for instance you decide you are no longer coming to study at UWE Bristol) then you’ll need to contact Accommodation Services by the end of August so that we can release you from the Licence Agreement and refund the Advance Rent Payment.
If you need any further information, please email the Accommodation Team at accommodation@uwe.ac.uk.
