Visiting students
Whether you're joining us for a full academic year or just one or two terms, we'll try our best to offer you a home on or close to campus.
Postgraduates
If you're a postgraduate student you are not guaranteed accommodation and will need to make an application. To find out more see Booking and paying.
Undergraduates
If you're arriving in the Spring Term, applied for your course place with Centre for Global Programmes by 31 October 2016 and accepted by 30 November 2016 you are guaranteed accommodation. If you've missed a deadline please get in touch with us as we will assist you as much as possible with accommodation.
Your room offer
Once you have accepted your course place, Centre for Global Programmes will pass your information on to us. We will then be able to allocate you a room and send you a room offer.
We do not use specific blocks or rooms for visiting students, so we cannot guarantee a particular room type. We'll allocate you into flats with other visiting students, or rooms in accommodation with undergraduate students. You can see more about our accommodation on Colleges, rooms and prices.
We'll send a room offer to your email, make sure you check this regularly as the room offer has an expiry date.
Additional requirements
If you need a specific room type or location due to medical, welfare or mobility reasons, please let us know by emailing us at accommodation@york.ac.uk. To find out more about additional requirements see our Health, welfare and disability page.
Please don't wait until you have received a room offer to let us know about your additional requirements as we may not be able to find you a suitable room at that stage.
