Allocation policy and procedures for University-allocated accommodation Autumn 2012–2013 entry
- New full-time UK and EU students applying for September 2012 entry, become eligible to apply for University-allocated accommodation when they firmly accept an offer to study at the University.
- Accommodation packs are sent out on a weekly basis from the end of March as applicants firmly accept a place to study at Portsmouth.
- Places in University-allocated accommodation are normally allocated in line with Faculty quotas, based on order of receipt of accommodation application forms in Student Housing. Applicants are therefore encouraged to submit an accommodation application form at the earliest opportunity.
- Where possible, applicants will be allocated their highest available preference of accommodation, subject to availability.
- When the University is unable to offer applicants a place in University-allocated accommodation due to any Faculty quotas becoming full, students will be given help and advice on finding private rented accommodation through online resources and house-hunting events held from July to September.
Students studying for a single semester under any Erasmus/Exchange/Study Abroad programme should contact Student Housing for further information on how to apply for accommodation.
Semester Two 2011/2012
Accommodation applications for students joining us for Semester Two of the 2011/12 academic year will be sent from December 2011 onwards. University-allocated accommodation will be offered for a fixed occupancy period of 18 weeks (29/01/2012-03/06/2012). The offer of a room in a University of Portsmouth Hall of Residence is subject to availability at the time of receiving the application and no guarantee of an offer of a room can be made.
If your course starts later than the occupancy start date then you will be required to pay for the room from 29/01/2012 as the room is available to you from then.
