Clearing

Yes, it is! We provide guaranteed University accommodation for clearing and adjustment applicants. To qualify for a guaranteed place, you must ensure that your accommodation application is submitted successfully by the 1^st September, that you accept the offer of accommodation made to you and complete the Occupation Contract by the deadline date provided when you book your room. Please note, that a place in University accommodation is guaranteed, but not a specific type of room or location.

Along with providing guaranteed University accommodation for new students, when you live with us, there is no need to worry about fluctuating bills and random due dates. University Accommodation Fees include utilities, internet (plus Wi-Fi) and a high level of personal contents insurance.

FREE Sports Centre Platinum Membership is also provided for your health and wellbeing – More than just a Sports Centre, our Platinum membership includes unlimited access to the gym, swimming pool, climbing wall and all group exercise, health and wellbeing classes.

Payment plans can be made to coincide with the receipt of your student loan money to help with budgeting!

Shortly following confirmation of your place to study at Aberystwyth University you will receive an e-mail inviting you to apply for University accommodation.  This will provide you with information on how to make an application using our online Accommodation Portal. You will require your 10-digit UCAS personal ID number, surname and date of birth to login and apply for accommodation.

You can also check out our handy step-by-step guide on How to Apply for university accommodation.

Full instructions on how to do this will be sent to you from Information Services shortly after your place has been confirmed. You should activate your Aberystwyth University e-mail as soon as you are asked to do so. This will ensure that there are no delays in securing your accommodation. Once you have activated your Aberystwyth University account all correspondence will be sent to this e-mail address, so it is important that you check it on a regular basis.

Please be re-assured that you will be sharing your accommodation with other first year students, therefore we would encourage you to take the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. 

Your Accommodation Occupation Contract will start at 9am on Friday 18^th September 2026 and your key may be collected anytime from this date.

On the Accommodation Portal you are required to complete our online pre-arrival induction programme which provides useful information on university life and includes the opportunity for you to book an arrival slot. During the course of your Induction, you will be required to select an arrival date and time which will enable you to download or print your 'Key Release'. You will then need to provide a copy of your Key Release Form at check-in to exchange for your room key.

Check out our Moving In webpage for information on what to bring, including a pre-arrival checklist and details on when and where to collect your room key from.

Arrivals before 18th September will only be considered for those:

• Volunteering for the Students’ Union as an A-Team Member.
• Moving from summer accommodation to term-time accommodation.
• Course start date is before 18th September
• Working as an RA.
• Arriving on the airport pick-up.

During completion of your Occupation Contract you will be informed that you are required to take up occupancy of your room by 10am on Tuesday 22nd September.  However, if you are planning on arriving after this date then you can complete a late arrival booking form and we will then hold your room for you. Please be aware that if you do not arrive by the 22nd September and notify us of when you plan to arrive, your room will no longer be available for you.

Please note: you will still be liable for your Accommodation Fees from the start of your Contract even if you haven't moved in. 

Our contact details are as follows and the office is open Monday –Thursday between 8.30am to 5pm and 8.30am to 4pm on a Friday.
