Who can apply

If you live in University accommodation and want to move to a new room or residence, you can apply for a room transfer.

You may not get an offer. It depends on room availability.

Offers are prioritised based on:

To apply, you must be up to date with your rent payments.

If you accept a room transfer offer, you must pay an administration fee of £45. This will be added to your financial statement once the transfer is complete.

To apply, you need to:

  1. log into the Accommodation Portal
  2. select 'apply for a room transfer' from the menu

Getting an offer

You will receive an email if your room transfer request is successful. You will have a few days to accept the new room offer.

You should only accept the offer if you can move rooms the following weekend.
