Visiting and Exchange students starting courses in either January or September will receive a room offer if they comply with certain criteria outlined below.
Visiting and Exchange students starting courses in September will receive a room offer if they have:
- Applied for their course and sent all the necessary information to the UEA Study Abroad Office by the course deadline
- Applied for accommodation before the accommodation deadline, preferably in May/June as offers will be sent out in July
Visiting and exchange students starting courses in January will receive a room offer if they have:
- Applied for their course and sent all the necessary information to UEA Study Abroad by the course deadline
- Applied for accommodation in the month of November. Offers will be sent late November to early December.
If you are studying a full calendar year (January to December) at UEA, we will only be able to offer you a room for ‘semester 2’ (January to June) of that academic year, in the first instance. After Easter, please visit the UEA Accommodation Office in order to book your room for ‘semester 1’ (September to December) of the following academic year.
If you would like to have the same room or if you would prefer to change rooms, please let us know at the time of booking. Although you would pay the standard nightly rate (not the autumn rate) for the September-December booking, please note that there is a yearly price increase in accommodation on the 1st August.
If you are still a UEA student over the summer and you wish to stay in residences, please make a separate application via our website using the ‘summer accommodation’ application form (June to September). If you require a bridge-booking between your summer accommodation and autumn accommodation, please note this on your summer accommodation application form. Price updates are available to view on our website in February.
If you would prefer to search for private accommodation, please contact Homerun.
