News release
From Accommodation Service
20 August 2009
Allocation Update
With the release of A level results, we are today starting to send out offers of accommodation. Because of the huge number of offers to make, these cannot be sent all at once and will be sent in batches over the next few weeks. Please don’t worry if you don’t receive your offer straight away – if you check the Contracts section of your account at www.onlineaccommodation.soton.ac.uk at least once a week, you will not miss your offer.
Our Halls will be very full this year and consequently we do not expect to be able to offer accommodation to any students who have not applied by the deadline, or to those who reject their offer or who fail to accept their offer. Students in this position will need to arrange private rented accommodation, and there are a number of resources to support this.
Because the demand for our accommodation is so high, it will be necessary to offer twin-shared accommodation to a number of students who have chosen this University as their Firm choice. Insurance choice students applying by the deadline will automatically be offered twin-shared accommodation.
To help meet the high demand, we are delighted to confirm that we have secured an area of Orion’s Point, a Hall of Residence in Southampton privately owned and managed by Liberty Living, which will be offered to new undergraduate students.
If you have any queries, please contact the Hotline. Please bear in mind that the Hotline is very busy at peak times, particularly on Monday mornings, and you may find it better to call outside these times.
