Can students find university accommodation during clearing?
We allocate on a first applied, first allocated basis so it is recommended that students get their application in early. All accommodation is University owned, managed or approved, either on or off campus. We also have brand new self-contained studio flats near the University.
Students can view all of our accommodation on our What’s on offer page.
As soon as students have received confirmation from UCAS of their place to study at Winchester they can apply for their university accommodation by submitting a housing application online.
To complete their online housing application, they will need their Student ID Number (Winchester Reference Number). Students will need to call us on +44 (0)1962 827234 and we can provide this over the phone immediately.
How long do students have to respond to an offer?
If students have contacted us and we have been able to make them a verbal or online offer, this will be backed up with an email to the address they have provided us with to confirm. Students are then able to visit UCAS to add their course option, our admissions team will then be able to confirm their place via UCAS.
Students can collect offers from a range of universities and each of these may have a different time limit by when students need to have added their choice to UCAS Track. It is important that students check emails from universities as they will each have specific information.
Deferring or deferred applications
Students should contact the admissions team by email if they are holding an offer and now wish to defer their place to 2025. Emails should be sent to admissions@winchester.ac.uk including the students UCAS ID number, full name and course for which they are holding a place.
We can’t accept deferred applicants through Clearing please encourage students to contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss their options.
