Returners accommodation 2026/27

Posted on Friday 5 December 2025

We are sorry that you will not be able to apply at a later date or time if you miss the deadline. Unfortunately, submitting an application does not guarantee you a room offer.

2026/27 criteria

Accommodation on campus is limited and we must allocate it based on priority groups who need support. We welcome applications from:

• Students under 18 at the start of the 2026/27 academic year
• Students with additional requirements that can't be supported off campus, such as accessibility requirements
• Students confirmed as care leavers or estranged by the Independent Student Team
• Students who have confirmed their refugee/asylum status with the Student Support Team
• Students returning from a work placement in the UK or study/work placement abroad, or planning such a placement in 2026/27*
  

*Students who are planning a placement in 2026/27 will need to have registered for or be actively pursuing a placement to be considered for a room offer.

If you do not fall within one of these groups, we recommend exploring private housing options, as on-campus availability for returning undergraduate students is limited. Our student housing drop in sessions can provide advice if you need help getting started.

If you have any questions, please see our Q&As or get in touch with us via email at accommodation@york.ac.uk or telephone: +44 (0)1904 322165
