First Year Students (September 2013 entry)

If you will be a first year undergraduate student new to the UEA (however, please see exceptions below*) OR an International (non-EU) first year postgraduate student, you are guaranteed accommodation as a single student in University Residences, provided that you meet these requirements:

• You are starting a full-time course at UEA in the Autumn term.
• You are listed as a student before the end of the 31st July (11.59pm GMT on the 31st July 2013). To list you as a new student, the University must have received your formal acceptance of an unconditional offer of a place (for more information see “What happens next”).
• You ensure that we have received your application for accommodation before the end of the 31st of July (11.59pm GMT on the 31st July 2013).
• Postgraduate Taught (PGT) students only -  ensure that you are listed as a student and that we have received your accommodation application before 31st July (11.59pm GMT on the 31st of July 2013).

* The following categories of students are not guaranteed accommodation:

1. Undergraduate students joining through the Clearing process.
2. Students who live in an approximate 12 mile radius of UEA (see details below).
3. Students with a UK or EU fee status starting an undergraduate course and have lived in UEA accommodation during a previous wholly or partially completed undergraduate course.
4. Students with a UK or EU fee status starting the first year of an undergraduate course, and have lived in UEA accommodation during their foundation year.
5. Undergraduate students who hold an insurance place for a course at UEA.

Postgraduate students arriving at any other time of the year other than September are not guaranteed accommodation but we will try to help with a room if we can.

Undergraduate Students living within a 12-mile radius of the University.

Students who live locally (approximately within a 12 mile radius of the University) are not guaranteed accommodation, but can still apply for a room. We will contact all students on the waiting list immediately if they have been allocated a room via the e-mail address that they used to submit their application and will keep all other students on the waiting list updated regularly. Please note that we are not anticipating having many rooms available at all for any students that do not hold a guarantee so we would advise that you find alternative accommodation in the private sector if possible. Please do not rely on UEA Accommodation to be able to secure you a room.
