Accommodation

• You are guaranteed an offer of accommodation as long as you applied by 1 July and are either a new first year undergraduate not coming to Leeds through clearing, a new undergraduate exchange student, or an international undergraduate paying tuition fees at the international rate.
• We cannot guarantee you’ll get your preferred residence but we’ll make every effort to find you somewhere suitable using the information you provide us on your accommodation application form.
• Once we have allocated your accommodation you will receive an email with an offer of accommodation. You can then log onto the online accommodation portal to check your offer. If you’re happy you can then accept it. You must do this within 4 days of receiving your offer.  We are only able to make one offer of accommodation, so even if your offer is not for your preferred residence we'd encourage you to accept it. You can find out more about all of our residences on our website, and we find most students love wherever they stay.
• If you have an unconditional offer we will allocate your accommodation and email your offer between 16 July and 1 August.  
• If you have a conditional offer we will allocate your accommodation after your offer becomes unconditional – in most cases soon after A-Level results day on Thursday 17 August 2023. If you are an international student and your offer becomes unconditional after 16 July, this is also when we will allocate your accommodation. We send out offers over a number of weeks so don’t worry if we are not in touch straight away. If you have not received an email by 10 September please call us on (+44) 0370 1200 189.

• If you are an international student and your offer becomes unconditional after 16 July, we will also allocate your accommodation after Thursday 17 August.

• If Leeds was your firm or insurance choice and you have yet to apply, please email our Accommodation Office at accom@leeds.ac.uk. It can take time for us to identify if we have availability, so please be patient. You will hear from us, but this may be the week before you are due to arrive in September.  
• If you are coming to Leeds through clearing, you can apply for accommodation two days after you have accepted your offer through UCAS. More information for clearing applicants is available on the accommodation website.  
• You can find further information for prospective students on the accommodation website.

• We guarantee to make you an offer of University arranged accommodation if you are an international postgraduate (paying tuition fees at the international rate) who is new to Leeds and requires single accommodation.  
• You must apply by the relevant deadline which is 1 July if you are starting in September or October. We will then allocate your room from late July to early September.

If you are an international student who needs to arrive before your accommodation contract starts, please check our early arrivals page in August for more information about the temporary accommodation available to you. 

Please let us know if you have any additional requirements for your accommodation due to a disability, medical condition or another factor, so we can try to meet them. 

We have adapted accommodation in a number of our residences, including for physical, hearing and visual impairment.

Unipol works closely with the University to help students find suitable accommodation. Unipol own and manage their own properties, as well as advertising for other owners in Leeds. You can find available properties, advice and support on the Unipol website.

There is a lot of great housing advice from LUU, including how to check the standard of the accommodation, whether your landlord is reputable, plus deposit information and tenants' satisfaction rates with local landlords.

Some things to consider when choosing your private accommodation include:

• Seeing your accommodation in person before you sign a contract.
• If you are unable to view accommodation in person, consider temporary arrangements to begin with.
• Checking your contract. LUU can help you check your contract.
• Doing an inventory.
