To book and secure postgraduate accommodation you will need to be a postgraduate student with a full time, full year, unconditional offer of study at Warwick commencing at the start of term 1 that you have accepted. Your student status will need to be unconditional firm ('UF') in order to book a room.
Before you book a room
You'll need your seven digit University of Warwick ID number ready, found in your study offer email. Please contact admissions if you do not have a University ID number.
You'll need to apply through the appropriate process separately if you have any specific accommodation requirements, including health and disability needs. You should ensure you complete this process as soon as possible to ensure there is enough time for it to be assessed as you will need to submit suitable evidence in advance of the deadline of 26 July 2023. Please be aware that you will still need to book accommodation.
Your booking confirmation email will be sent to the contact email address on your student record. Please ensure that this is correct before booking a room. You will need to provide a personal email address (not an agent email address) that you will still be able to access in September 2023. Please contact admissions if you need to amend your email address as this will then update on our system .
