After your application

What happens next 

Those who apply by phone for non-shortlisting courses can expect a decision on the spot. We respond to online applications within a working day.

If you haven't been successful, we'll let you know by email so you can consider your next steps right away.

Successful applicants will receive an offer email in which you’ll be directed to UCAS Hub to add your clearing choice. Afterwards, you'll receive an official notification from UCAS Hub, which forms your final, legally binding offer.

Get your accommodation

At Sheffield Hallam we guarantee to find you a place to live with bills included, but it's a good idea to think about your accommodation once you've secured a place.

You can apply online and track your application progress using the student ID in your offer email. But please be aware that you may need to wait 48 hours after receiving your offer.

If you've any queries, call our accommodation helpline on 0114 225 4503.
