Summer Accommodation

Applications open from 10.00am on Tuesday 29th April 2025

To secure accommodation for the summer you will need to:

1. Login to the Accommodation Portal  via the ABER Student Login button.
2. Select 'Book Summer Accommodation'
3. Follow the instructions where you will need to select your room and requested dates of stay. 

Please note:

• Applications for summer accommodation will not be considered if you have an outstanding accommodation debt with AU or if you have been served with a ban from AU Residences during your term licence period.
• Unsuccessful applicants will be given the opportunity to be placed on a waiting list should a vacancy become available.

You will therefore no longer be a registered student.

If you are not an AU registered student you can try contacting the Conference Office for alternative accommodation. Alternatively, you can check local hotels/B&B's for their availability.

Are you currently living in University accommodation?

If you are currently living in university accommodation then your summer accommodation will be available to you from the  23 June 2025.

If you are currently in University accommodation with us, you will be able to stay in your term time accommodation until we are able to move you to your summer accommodation.  This will be on the 23 June 2025, but please also be aware that we may require you to move earlier. 

You must be in Aberystwyth at this time to complete the move. 

Further details regarding moving into your summer accommodation will be sent to you by e-mail prior to your move, so therefore please continue to regularly check your AU e-mail account, as we may need to move you earlier than this date.

Are you currently living in the Private Sector?

If you are currently living in the private sector, then summer accommodation is available to you from 23 June 2025.  Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you summer accommodation prior to these dates.  If you do need accommodation prior to these dates, then please contact the Conference Office to check out our Bunkhouse availability.

Minimum length of stay is 3 weeks. 

Summer accommodation is available until 10.00am on Friday 5th September 2025. Please note we will not be able to accommodate you within summer accommodation any later than the dates specified.

Further details regarding moving out arrangements will be provided to you upon arrival.

Our term 2025/36 Occupation Contract starts on Friday 19th September 2025. 

If you have secured a place in AU summer accommodation and have also secured a place in AU accommodation for academic year 2024/25, you can continue to live with us until your term accommodation becomes available, simply by selecting the appropriate dates on the application form. 

You will need to be in Aberystwyth ready to move to your 2025/2026 term time accommodation, from the 5th September 2025.

There is no pre-payment for summer this year.

Summer rent can be taken in 1, 2 or 3 instalments over the course of the summer.

This is taken via direct debit, the same as your term time rent.

An advance payment of one week's rent is required to secure summer accommodation which is payable during completion of your Occupation Contract.

Details on advance payment refunds are available in the Occupation Contract application process found within the Residents' Handbook. 

Inspections will continue to be carried out throughout the summer with further details being sent to you by the Residences Team. Further information regarding what inspections are, can be found on our webpage.
