We want you to be happy in every aspect of your life at university, and that includes finding a home which is friendly, comfortable and safe.
If you have not already received an offer of accommodation from us we cannot guarantee university accommodation, as we have a waiting list on both our Chelmsford and Cambridge campuses and are contacting all those that have registered to provide them with an update.
If a room does become available, we will offer this to the first person on the waiting list. If we contact you with an offer and you choose not to accept this offer, or do not accept within the deadline given, we will move to the next person on the waiting list and assume you will find your own accommodation.
We are aware that there are now very limited private sector options, if you would like to chat through your options in the private sector please call us on 01245 698900.
If you are accepting a place or deferring a place to study with us in January 2023, limited accommodation will be available to book from November 2022. We will not be able to guarantee availability and not all students will be eligible. The eligibility criteria for accommodation in January 2023 can be found in our allocations policy (PDF).
We’re always happy to help with any accommodation queries you have. Call us on 01245 683180.
