Due to our current capacity on campus, the Accommodation Team are not able to offer rooms in halls of residence to postgraduate students. However, information about the private sector accommodation available close to campus is accessible if you are an applicant with an unconditional or conditional firm on your postgraduate course offer.

To access this information, please contact us at [email protected] and visit our renting privately webpage for helpful tips on searching for off campus accommodation.

If you are going into your 2^nd or 3^rd year and you are interested in living in halls, you will be able to apply to live on campus as a senior student. Applications will advertised before the Christmas holidays each year.

We are unable to guarantee rooms to all applicants, as priority for rooms in halls are given to new students and a students with medical requirements (authorised following the submission of appropriate evidence).

We offer a range of university accommodation options, including:

• Palatine Court
• Founders East and Founders West
• Forest Court
• Hall Fees
• Chancellors Court and Chancellors South
• Graduates Court
• Woodland Court

Compare our halls of residence to find one that’s right for you and apply for your spot today.

We are sorry that we haven’t been able to offer you a room in one of your preference choice at this stage or that you have been offered a low preference choice. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give each and every student their preference but there are options available to you.

If you didn’t receive a room offer for any of your preferences, there are two options available to you.

Option one

To be guaranteed a room on campus you should accept the room offered to you. You will soon be sent an email giving you the opportunity to apply for a Pre-Arrival Transfer (via the Accommodation Portal). Should one of your preferred room options becomes available, we would look to offer you a room transfer into a new room. This option ensures that you will have a room on campus for the start of term.

Option two

If you live within a commutable distance and/or you definitely do not want the room that has been offered to you, you may decline the room offer and join our Halls Waiting List (you would be able to do so by emailing: [email protected]). By doing so, you would no longer be guaranteed a room on campus for the start of term, but we will contact you with a room offer, as and when a suitable room becomes available.

If you live a long distance away from the University and cannot commute to campus, we would highly recommend that you sign the contract to secure a room on campus for the start of term and then apply for a transfer.

Alternatively, if you would like to consider other options, there are also rooms available in Ormskirk, which is a 10 minute walk from campus, you can find a list of 700+ available rooms on our Flatmate Finder Facebook Group (password to access the off campus list: F3ysD_!@oFfcamPUs2122).

Sometimes it is not possible to give every student one of their preferences. However, in this case although this was not one of your top preferences, you received one of your five listed preferences. As you have received one of your preferred choices, we cannot change it currently.

If you live within a commutable distance and you definitely do not want the room that has been offered, then you can decline this offer and go on the Halls Waiting List (you would be able to do so by emailing: [email protected]). This would mean that you are not guaranteed a room at the start of term, but we will contact you with a room offer should one of your higher preference choices becomes available.

If you live a long distance away from the University and cannot commute to campus, we would highly recommend that you sign the contract to secure a room on campus for the start of term and then apply for a transfer. Alternatively, if you would like to consider other options there are also rooms available in Ormskirk, which is a 10 minute walk from campus, and you can find a list of 700+ available rooms on our Flatmate Finder Facebook Group (password to access the off campus list: F3ysD_!@oFfcamPUs2122).

Any current students are advised to explore options in the private sector. For more information on how to access vacancies, please visit our living off campus page.

At any time during the academic year, if you wish to transfer to a different room on-campus, you are able to apply for a room transfer via the Accommodation Portal (‘Requests’ and ‘Room Transfer Request’). Please note that all transfer requests are subject to eligibility (as well as availability of rooms to transfer into).

When applying for a room transfer, you will be required to provide a reason for your request, along with evidence (where applicable). The Accommodation Team will then review your eligibility based upon the information you have provided. Should you be eligible for a transfer, you will then be contacted by the Accommodation Team to proceed with your room transfer.
