If you've missed a deadline please get in touch and we'll assist you as much as possible with accommodation. 

Your room offer

Once you've accepted your course place, Centre for Global Programmes will pass your information on to us. We'll 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.

Once you've arrived, you'll need to make a payment of £200. The £200 acts as your deposit which will be refunded at the end of your tenancy unless you cancel your room or have any outstanding clearing, cleaning, damage or rent charges. 

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've 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.

Important dates

Depending on your course dates, your contract will run for the following period:

Once you've accepted an offer of accommodation, we won't be able to release you from your contract if you decide to complete your studies and return home early, unless you're able to find a replacement tenant.

Postgraduates

If you're a postgraduate student you're not guaranteed accommodation and will need to make an application. To find out more see Booking and paying.

Private sector accommodation

If we're not able to guarantee you a room or you would prefer to live off-campus, there's plenty of private sector accommodation available close to the University.

Twin rooms
