Before you submit an application

There are different instructions depending on your course start date so please read this page carefully.
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 11 August 2023. Please be aware that you will still need to submit an accommodation application.
While your accommodation preferences are taken into account in the allocation process, there is no guarantee that you will be allocated accommodation which matches your preferences, or that you will receive an offer of accommodation. In some cases, we may offer you accommodation for which you have not stated a preference; this accommodation may not be one of our campus residences and it may also be in temporary accommodation. If we have more rooms adapted for accessibility requirements than are required for the academic year, it is possible students who do not require adaptations will be allocated to an adapted room.
Offers are sent by email, so please make sure that you provide a valid email address which you will have access to during the summer. You should update student records if your email address changes. It is important to regularly check your spam/clutter/junk folder and that you will still be able to access the email address on your student record.

Frequently asked questions

How can I let you know I have specific accommodation requirements due to a disability, mental health or medical condition?

You'll need to follow our specific accommodation requirements process for your condition. The deadline for specific accommodation requirements requests to be supported by the relevant team is 11 August 2023, so you'll need to ensure you submit suitable evidence in advance of this deadline to ensure there is enough time to be assessed.

Please note that you still need to separately submit an accommodation application. Within your accommodation application you'll need to provide a shorter, brief summary of your requirements such as the nature of your disability, medical or mental health condition.

How is accommodation allocated for visiting or exchange students?

Subject to availability of rooms and meeting the deadlines and conditions as outlined on the apply webpage, applications for visiting or exchange students are usually allocated through a series of computer ballots that will take place after 22 August 2023 for those starting in the Autumn term, which aim to match students to one of their hall preferences. We will then continue to allocate rooms on a rolling basis, subject to availability.

The let lengths advertised on the halls webpages are 35/40/44 weeks and I’m only here for one or two terms? If I apply for an en suite hall as one of my preferences am I guaranteed to be allocated to one?

You can select up to three en suite halls as preferences in your application. You will need to submit a total of six preferences, including at least three shared bathroom halls. If you prefer, all your preferences can be shared bathroom options. Just over half of our accommodation is en suite, so if you are offered accommodation, there is a chance you will be allocated to an ensuite hall. We would recommend only selecting halls you would be happy to be allocated to as one of your preferences.

What will happen after I submit my accommodation application?

If you have applied for accommodation and are starting at Warwick in the Autumn term, you will hear from us in late August to early September. If you haven't heard from us by 12 September 2023, then please get in touch with us by emailing accommodation@warwick.ac.uk.

If you are starting at Warwick in the Spring term, you should hear from us in December.
