Places in halls of residence are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Early applications are favoured.
Please note if your first choice is unavailable, you will be offered an alternative choice.
Halls of residence application
Places can only be allocated to University of Westminster students who have completed a valid halls of residence application and have firmly accepted a place on a course, where the course and the student's mode of attendance are full-time.
Students must accept any offer of a room in the halls of residence by the deadline given and must provide all the necessary documentation and the deposit in order for a room to be secured.
Places are allocated for the standard academic year from September – June/ July.
While the needs of international students are recognised, the University aims to have a mixed community in its halls of residence and operates the policy in order to maintain a mix of UK and international students.

Priority categories
Students who have priority consideration for accommodation include:
students who have a disability or medical condition relevant to their housing requirements which could prevent them from attending the university without a place in halls (please note you will be required to register with the University of Westminster Disability Learning Support team).
- care leavers and estranged students may fall within the priority category (please note you will be required to submit supporting documentation e.g. Student Finance).
- students who are under 18 at the start of the academic year.
- new students to the University of Westminster who complete a halls of residence application before 1 June and those applying during the clearing period.
Places will not be allocated on a first come first served basis during the clearing process and the above students will take priority when allocating rooms.
For returning students, please note that your application will not be accepted if you have:
- been the subject of disciplinary or in breach of your tenancy agreement whilst previously living in the University of Westminster Halls of Residence.
- an outstanding rent balance whilst previously living in the University of Westminster Halls of Residence.
