University Accommodation
The majority of rooms in halls are made available to new students - 1st year and direct entry students - arriving in September for the entire academic session. You can only apply for accommodation after you have confirmed the University of Greenwich as your firm choice on UCAS or if you are a direct entrant via the Admissions Office. You can apply online by clicking on the 'Apply Now' button available on accommodation webpages.
Full-time enrolled students of the university can, of course, apply for accommodation in halls at any time during their course of study. Vacancies do occur and rooms in hall can be gained - subject to availability. Some students will need all-year-round accommodation.
A proportion of rooms are made available in each academic session to continuing students who wish to apply for places in advance. Applications usually open in February and information is sent to all students shortly after the start of the second semester.
The application process differs depending on which of the above circumstances apply, please check here for how to apply.
Deposits and Contracts
When you receive an offer of a room in a University hall of residence, you will be required to pay a deposit in order to secure the room in hall. Before paying the deposit, you will need to have already accepted the offer of a place in hall. If you do not pay your deposit you risk losing your place and it will be given to someone else.
