New Students Starting in Spring 2013

Firm Choice Applicants

Students who have firmly accepted the University of Surrey's offer of a place can now apply for accommodation.

If you wish to live in University residences from this September, all you need is your University Number, which you will find in all emails from our University Registry.

Applicants can apply online for accommodation 48 hours after firmly accepting the offer of a place to study. It is a simple, quick process and you will find all the information you need to select the most suitable accommodation for you and make an application.

Insurance Choice Applicants

If you have chosen Surrey as your insurance place, you will NOT be able to apply for accommodation with us just yet. If you are not accepted by your firm choice, and become firm at Surrey, you will then be able to apply for accommodation with us 48 hours after you have become firm.

Undecided Applicants

If you decide to firmly accept our offer you will be able to apply for accommodation 48 hours after UCAS has processed your acceptance.
