Allocation policy and procedures for University-allocated accommodation Autumn 2013–2014 entry

• New full-time UK and EU students applying for September 2013 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.
• You will be informed during July if you have been successful for University-allocated accommodation.  At this time a £250 advance rent, which is deducted from your 1st term's hall fees, will need to be paid to secure any offer of a hall room.  This is refunded in full if you cancel the room in writing to Student Housing by the 23 August 2013.

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.
