Q4. Can I still apply for University accommodation if I have missed the
accommodation application deadline?
A4. You can still apply for University accommodation; however, given the expected
demand for accommodation, it is unlikely that late applicants will receive an offer of
accommodation before the start of the academic year. If you have missed the

accommodation. For private sector housing assistance you are advised to contact the
5
University of London Housing Services (ULHS) and consult the list of Other Halls
Providers (page 18 ).
Q5. I received an offer to study at UCL after the University accommodation
application deadline; am I still guaranteed a place?
A5. If you receive an offer to study at UCL after the University accommodation
application deadline, University accommodation is not guaranteed. You can still apply
for University accommodation; however, given the expected demand for
accommodation, it is unlikely that late applicants will receive an offer of accommodation
before the start of the academic year. You are advised to secure alternative
accommodation. For private sector housing assistance you are advised to contact the
University of London Housing Services and consult the list of Other Halls Providers
(page 18).
Q6. Can I state a preference for a particular UCL Hall or Student House by name?
A6. No, you can state a preference for the type of accommodation preferred, i.e.
catered or self-catered accommodation; you do not however get to choose a particular
UCL Hall or Student House. The only exception is if you are applying for catered
accommodation, whereby you can select Intercollegiate Hall preferences and as a
Postgraduate - Goodenough College.
Q7. What is the difference between Halls and Houses?
A7. Halls are catered residences. UCL Halls are Astor College, Ifor Evans Hall and Ramsay

Schafer House, St Pancras Way (Unite).
Q8. How is University accommodation allocated?
A8. University accommodation is allocated randomly, to a particular UCL Hall or
Student House. The allocation process takes into account the type of accommodation
preferred, as selected during the application process (i.e. catered or self-catered), the
amount budgeted for per week and the one most important factor (e.g. low cost or
proximity) when possible. We cannot guarantee that we can always meet your most
important factor.
Q9. Are applications first come, first serve?
A9. No, applications are not first come, first serve. No offers will be sent out before the 30 th
June.
Q10. Will I receive acknowledgement of my University accommodation
application?

by email. If you do not receive an acknowledgement email, it may be because

address is incorrect. If you suspect your email address is incorrect please
contact the Residences Office: residences@ucl.ac.uk as soon as possible.

Q12. Am I eligible to apply for University accommodation if I am studying parttime?
A12. If you are studying part-time, you can apply for University accommodation;
however, priority will be given to full-time students. Given the expected demand for
University accommodation from full-time students, it is unlikely that accommodation will
be allocated to a part-time student prior to the start of the academic year. You are
advised to secure alternative accommodation. For private sector housing assistance
you are advised to contact the University of London Housing Services (ULHS) for
private sector housing assistance and consult the list of Other Hall Providers (page

11 January 2016 to 25 June 2016.
Q14. My programme runs for a calendar year (12 months) rather than an
academic year (9 months). Can I continue to stay in University accommodation
during the summer period?
A14. Graduate students and Clinical Medical students will be given priority to continue
to live in University accommodation during the summer period. A move of residence,
or to another room in the same residence, may be required. Accommodation offers for
Summer 2016 will not be extended beyond mid-September, regardless of your
programme duration, due to preparations for the new academic year intake.
Q15. My programme ends in March; can University accommodation be provided
for 6 months, from September to March?
A15. University accommodation is not provided if your programme ends in March. Due
to the limited number of spaces available, UCL Student Accommodation will not be
able to provide you with University accommodation for this period. You are advised to
contact the University of London Housing Services (ULHS) for private sector
7
housing assistance and consult the list of Other Hall Providers (page 18).
Q16. Can I stay in my room during the Christmas and Easter holidays?
A16. Yes, you can stay in your room during the Christmas and Easter holidays. UCL
accommodation offered for the Academic Year includes the Christmas and Easter
holidays. You will be invoiced and are liable for accommodation fees for the Christmas
and Easter holidays, even if you do not stay in your room during the holidays.
Q17. I have decided to defer my entry to UCL. Should I still make an application
for University accommodation?
A17. No, you do not need to apply for University accommodation for the year deferring.
You must ensure that you apply for accommodation by the deadline of the year you
plan to enrol at UCL (31st May for Undergraduate applicants, 30th June for
postgraduates).
Q18. Since completing my application for University accommodation, I have
been diagnosed with a medical condition which changes my accommodation
requirements. Who should I inform?
A18. You should inform the UCL Student Residences Office by email
residences@ucl.ac.uk, outlining your medical condition and how the condition affects
your accommodation requirements. You should attach recent (within a month) medical
documentation. Your accommodation application will be updated and preferences
changed (if necessary). You should also discuss your requirements with the UCL
Student Disability Services to obtain further advice. Where appropriate, a
preliminary visit to view the University accommodation can be arranged. UCL Student
Disability Services can be contacted by telephone on +44 (0) 20 7679 0100 or via
email: disability@ucl.ac.uk. The following residences have accommodation suitable
for students with restricted mobility: Frances Gardner House, John Dodgson House,
Langton Close and Schafer House. Some of these residences are a fair distance from
other parts of UCL which may need to be taken into consideration. Students who
indicate on their accommodation application that they have a disability, medical
condition, injury or illness, and who are offered a place in a UCL Hall or Student House,
will have an Accommodation Risk Assessment carried out by the Residence
Management team within two weeks of arrival.
Q19. How is it decided who to room together?
A19. Once you have been allocated a place in a UCL Hall or Student House, the
Residence Management team will decide which room to assign you to. The method of
room assignments will differ from site to site varying from course background to or
student type (Undergraduate/Graduate).
Q20. When will I find out my room number?
A20. You will find out your room number on arrival, when you check-in.
Q21. I am a Graduate student; do you have specific residences for Graduate
students?
Q21. No, UCL Halls and Houses are occupied by both Graduate and Undergraduate
students, attempts will be made by the Residence Management team to segregate the
flats or corridors, where possible, to avoid a conflict of interests. On occasion, in order
to maximise occupancy, flats or corridors may be occupied by both Graduate and
Undergraduate students.

offered University accommodation prior to the start of the academic year?

Q37: If I decide to leave my UCL Hall or Student House after I check-in, will I still
have to pay fees for UCL accommodation?
A37: Yes, you should refer to your Accommodation Licence Agreement or the UCL
Student Accommodation General Regulations and Guidance 2015-2016, which reads
as follows: Ending the Agreement (a) during the first term, if you would like to leave your
UCL Hall or Student House after your arrival during the first term you must submit a Notice
to Quit Request online via UCL Student Accommodation Online Services. You will remain
liable for your accommodation fees until a replacement UCL student is found to take over
your room. A replacement is a UCL student who is not currently in a UCL Hall or Student
House. If no replacement is found you remain liable for your accommodation fees until the
end of the first invoicing period which is 9 January 2016*. *4 January 2016 for Exchange
students holding a Term 1 only Licence. (b) at the end of the first term, if you would like to
leave your UCL Hall or Student House at the end of the first term you are required to give at
least 28 days’ notice prior to 9 January 2016 i.e. you must submit a Notice to Quit Request
online via UCL Student Accommodation Online Services, no later than 11 December 2015.
If you submit your Notice to Quit Request online after 11 December 2015 you will remain
liable for accommodation fees until a replacement UCL student is found to take over your
room. A replacement is a UCL student who is not currently in a UCL Hall or Student House.
If no replacement is found you remain liable for your accommodation fees until the end of
the third term for invoicing purposes, which is 25 June 2016. (c) During the second and
third terms, if you would like to leave your UCL Hall or Student House during the second or
third term you must submit a Notice to Quit Request online via UCL Student Accommodation
Online Services. You will remain liable for your accommodation fees until a replacement
UCL student is found to take over your room. A replacement is a UCL student who is not
currently in a UCL Hall or Student House. If no replacement is found you remain liable for
your accommodation fees until the end of the third term for invoicing purposes, which is 25
June 2016.
Please note: if you give notice at any time but do not move out or return keys/swipe
cards/fobs to the site office of your UCL Hall or Student House your liability for
accommodation fees will continue.
Q38: Can I request a different UCL Hall or Student House, if I am not satisfied
with the University accommodation allocated to me?
A38: No, it is not possible to request a different UCL Hall or Student House if you are
not satisfied with the one allocated to you; only one accommodation allocation is made
per student. If you have no other accommodation arranged, you are advised to accept
the accommodation offer. Many prospective residents, who are initially anxious about
moving in to University accommodation, find that they soon settle in and make friends.
If you move in and find it difficult to settle in, a Swap List will open on Monday 12
October 2015. If you find another student on the list who would like to do the opposite
swap, then a change of hall or house can be arranged. An administration fee of £20
per person will be charged to swap. If you choose to decline the accommodation offer,
you are expected to make your own accommodation arrangements, as no alternative
UCL or Intercollegiate accommodation offer will be made. You are advised to contact
the University of London Housing Services (ULHS) for private sector housing
assistance and consult the list of Other Hall Providers (page 18).
Q39: I have been offered a twin room but indicated a preference for a single
room. Can my accommodation offer be changed from a twin room to a single
room?
13
A39: No, it is not possible to change the accommodation offer from a twin room to a
single room. UCL Student Accommodation has a large number of twin rooms,
particularly in self-catered houses. Applicants are randomly allocated into twin rooms
(two students of the same sex in one room with twin beds). Unless there are medical
grounds for single room accommodation, it is unlikely the accommodation offer will be
changed. If you accept the twin room offer and move in to your student house, but do
not settle in, you have the option of trying to swap to a single room when the Swap List
opens. A swap from a twin room to a single room is not a common swap, but it has
happened in previous years.
Q40: When will I know who I will be sharing the twin room I have been offered
with?
A40: You will find out who you will be sharing the twin room with on arrival. In the lead
up to the start of the academic year, as accommodation allocations change frequently,
it is likely that the Residence Management team will allocate twin room occupants just
before the main move-in weekend in September. The allocation of twin room
occupants will be carried out according to interests, course programme or sometimes
randomly.
Q41: Do fees for UCL accommodation include all amenities?
A41: Yes, fees for UCL accommodation include all amenities.
Q42: How do I accept an accommodation offer from one of the Intercollegiate
Halls? Do I have to pay a deposit?
A42: The Intercollegiate Halls Reservations Office will contact you directly, by email, with
details of the accommodation offer; you must ensure that you check your email account
regularly as you will be expected to respond within 48 hours. You will be required to accept
the offer and pay a deposit (different to UCL’s acceptance and deposit process). If you
have SPAM or junk mail filters turned on, you should check these folders also. The email
address indicated on your accommodation application will be the one used by the
Intercollegiate Hall Reservations Office to contact you. For information and advice
concerning the Intercollegiate Halls, please contact Reservations Office, ULU 4th Floor,
Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HY Tel: +44 (0) 20 7862 8881 Email:
info.halls@london.ac.uk.

Q44: Is it possible to arrive earlier than Saturday 21 September 2015 to attend

who should I contact to get proof of residence?

Immigration and Visa information visit http://www.ucl.ac.uk/iss/immigrationvisa/applying-for-visa.
Q47: Due to Visa complications, I may not arrive until after the intake weekend in
September. Will the accommodation be held open for me until I arrive?
A47: In the event that you are unable to arrive on Saturday 19 September 2015, you
must complete and submit a Late Arrival Notification via your accommodation portal
to ensure that your room is held open for you. Late arrivals will still be invoiced from
the contract start date, Saturday 19 September 2015. If you have paid a deposit, but
you do not arrive within the first week and have not notified the Residence
Management team or the UCL Student Residences Office that you will be arriving late,
the offer will be withdrawn and your deposit will not be refunded. If you have not paid a
deposit and not notified the Residence Management team or the UCL Student
Residences Office that you will be arriving late, the offer will be withdrawn on Monday
19 September 2015. If you have been offered an Intercollegiate Hall and you will be
arriving late, you should contact the Intercollegiate Hall Reservations Office, ULU 4th
Floor, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HY Tel: +44 (0) 20 7862 8881 Email:
