Wondering what the next steps are after your child has accepted their Clearing offer? We cover it all, from accommodation to finance.
Apply for accommodation
If your child has chosen to move away from home, now is the time to get university accommodation sorted. To apply for a place, your child must have accepted an offer on a full-time course with us.Ìý
How to apply for accommodation:
Step 1: Using your University Applicant number register in the Accommodation Portal. Please note that once you hold a firmly accepted unconditional offer, it may take up to two days before our accommodation system recognises the change to your offer status allowing you to apply online.
Step 2: Apply for accommodation using the Clearing/Insurance Accommodation Application.
Step 3: Upon completion, an offer of accommodation will be emailed to the email address you gave in the application.
Step 4: You will then be given 3 days (UK applicants) and 5 days (EU/International applicants) to accept the offer. A guarantor will be required for the majority of the accommodation. You will also be required to make an advance payment to accept the offer of accommodation by a deadline date.
