Clearing

Yes, it is! We provide guaranteed University accommodation for clearing and adjustment applicants. To qualify for a guaranteed place, you must ensure that your accommodation application is submitted successfully by the 1^st September, that you accept the offer of accommodation made to you and complete the Occupation Contract by the deadline date provided when you book your room. Please note, that a place in University accommodation is guaranteed, but not a specific type of room or location.

Along with providing guaranteed University accommodation for new students, when you live with us, there is no need to worry about fluctuating bills and random due dates. University Accommodation Fees include utilities, internet (plus Wi-Fi) and a high level of personal contents insurance.

FREE Sports Centre Platinum Membership is also provided for your health and wellbeing – More than just a Sports Centre, our Platinum membership includes unlimited access to the gym, swimming pool, climbing wall and all group exercise, health and wellbeing classes.

Payment plans can be made to coincide with the receipt of your student loan money to help with budgeting!

Shortly following confirmation of your place to study at Aberystwyth University you will receive an e-mail from the Accommodation Office inviting you to apply for University accommodation.  This will provide you with information on how to make an application using our online Accommodation Portal. You will require your 10-digit UCAS personal ID number, surname and date of birth to login and apply for accommodation.

You can also check out our handy step-by-step guide on How to Apply for university accommodation.

Due to high demand we have currently closed the self-allocation facility on the accommodation portal.

If you are a student who is guaranteed accommodation at Aberystwyth University, please telephone the accommodation office on 01970 622864 during normal office hours. Outside of this period please email accommodation@aber.ac.uk and we will contact you during office hours.

We do our best to offer you your preferred room type when allocating you a place in accommodation. As the residences vary in the numbers of students they accommodate and many rooms are already reserved, obtaining your higher preferences cannot be guaranteed. We will allocate you into an available room.

Upon receipt of the room offer, you will have 7 days to accept the offer and pay your acceptance fee to secure you room.

When applying for accommodation, you will be able to select your hall and individual room. You can see a list of rooms available when you log onto the portal.

Although we guarantee accommodation for all first-year students, please note that choice of accommodation and rooms are chosen on a first-come-first-served basis and much of our most popular accommodation may already be full.

Full instructions on how to do this will be sent to you from Information Services shortly after your place has been confirmed. You should activate your Aberystwyth University e-mail as soon as you are asked to do so. This will ensure that there are no delays in securing your accommodation. Once you have activated your Aberystwyth University account all correspondence will be sent to this e-mail address, so it is important that you check it on a regular basis.

The Acceptance Fee is equivalent to 7 nights' rent and will vary from residence to residence. 

Please see our Accommodation Fees page for information on nightly rates.

Once you have accepted your offer of accommodation, you will then be required to complete your Occupation Contract by the given deadline date. The Acceptance Fee is payable during completion of your Occupation Contract, along with agreeing to the terms and conditions of your Occupation Contract, setting up a payment plan for your accommodation fees and completion of our pre-arrival induction programme (which includes selecting an arrival date and time).

Please be re-assured that you will be sharing your accommodation with other first year students, therefore we would encourage you to take the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. 

You chose your own rooms, so as soon as you’ve chosen a room and followed the process through, you will have secured a room.

Your Accommodation Occupation Contract will start at 10am on Friday 20^th September 2024 and your key may be collected anytime from this date.

On the Accommodation Portal you are required to complete our online pre-arrival induction programme which provides useful information on university life and includes the opportunity for you to book an arrival slot. During the course of your Induction, you will be required to select an arrival date and time which will enable you to download or print your 'Key Release Form'. You will then need to provide a copy of your Key Release Form at check-in to exchange for your room key.

Check out our Moving In webpage for information on what to bring, including a pre-arrival checklist and details on when and where to collect your room key from.
