Accommodation for Clearing students
We can no longer guarantee accommodation for applicants applying through Clearing after Monday 17 August. We recommend researching private alternatives.
If you have any questions regarding accommodation, please phone our Residences team through +44 (0)23 8059 9599.
Applications submitted before 17 August
If you applied for a course through Clearing by Monday 17 August, 5pm, UK time, submit your accommodation application by Wednesday 19 August, 5pm, UK time, to still be guaranteed a place in accommodation. T&Cs apply
If you previously applied for accommodation before accepting a place through Clearing, you don't need to reapply. Your original application will be processed in line with any guarantee that was in place at the time you submitted it.
Due to UCAS and processing times, we recommend confirming the University of Southampton as your choice in UCAS as soon as possible after receiving your offer. Our admissions team are working hard to confirm students and send Southampton ID numbers so that you can submit your accommodation application. They will be sent in batches at intervals so please don't worry if you don't receive it straight away.
How to apply for accommodation
Before you can apply for accommodation, you must have accepted your Clearing offer in UCAS Hub and received your confirmation email from the University. In this email you'll get your Southampton ID number, which you'll need for your application.
