    How and when to apply for accommodation

    We are currently experiencing technical issues when students are trying to register for accommodation. If you are experiencing problems please email accommodation@shu.ac.uk and we will contact you when the problem has been resolved. Do not worry, your application will not be affected by this temporary fault and we hope to have it resolved soon. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    We guarantee to find you a place to live in your first year, and all our halls are still taking applications*. Book with us to ensure you live with other Hallam students, in popular student areas near our campuses.

    You can apply online for accommodation once you have been made an offer of a place to study here and you've
    • accepted a conditional offer as your firm or insurance choice
    • accepted an unconditional offer as your firm or insurance choice
    • applied to the University previously and have a deferred place on a course

    You may need to wait up to 48 hours after you have accepted your offer before you register and apply.
