How do you apply?
You can make your application at https://www.residences.herts.ac.uk/
Once you have created an account please apply as a Postgraduate applicant so that we can try and house you with other mature students.
When will I receive an offer of accommodation?
You will not receive an offer of accommodation until you have an Unconditional Firm offer of study
What happens once I receive an offer?
Once you receive an offer you have 10 days in which to accept, pay a £100 deposit and set up a payment plan. If you do not complete all three of these within the 10 days, your offer will lapse.
PLEASE NOTE: If you receive a salary from the University of Hertfordshire, or do not have a Student ID number we will not be able to house you, but if you email accommodation@herts.ac.uk we will be able to send you a list of short term local accommodation which may be of help to you whilst you source private accommodation.
