Accommodation Portal Help
This page lists the answers to the most common issues students face when using the Accommodation Portal.
Issues registering onto the Accommodation Portal
I have not received an email with an activation link
You should check that you have:
- used the correct University of Bristol student number,
- used the correct email address - this needs to be the email address you used when you applied the University,
- not included spaces at the end of your username or password.
If you have still not received an email within an hour of submitting your details, please contact us via email at student-accommodation@bristol.ac.uk.
My activation link is not working
The activation link in your email may not be working due to one of the following reasons:
- The activation link will expire after one hour,
- You may have submitted your details more than once in a short space of time,
- The activation link only works once so if you click the link and then exit the browser without completing the login details, you will need to match your details again.
To generate a new activation link, you will need to wait at least two hours from the original email to re-submit your details.
I have not received an email to register for the Accommodation Portal
If you have not received an email, you can still register on the Accommodation Portal from 1 February 2023.
To register, you will need to:
- go to the Register to the Accommodation Portal page,
- add your University of Bristol student number,
- add your email address - this needs to be the email address you used when you applied the University.
If you do not have this information, please contact us at student-accommodation@bristol.ac.uk.
