Apply for accommodation

The deadline for accommodation applications has now been extended until 12pm on the 17th June (please allow 48 hours from updating UCAS to apply for accommodation).
The Application process will reopen from 12pm on the 18th June, however these applications will initially be placed on the waiting list while we process those that have applied prior to the deadline.

Applications are now open for students starting Goldsmiths in September 2013.

You can apply for accommodation in Goldsmiths halls if you have a firm full-time academic offer on a degree programme at Goldsmiths (ie an unconditional firm or conditional firm place).

If you have an insurance offer you'll be able to apply for accommodation when your place becomes unconditional firm, ie you have rejected your first choice and then accepted Goldsmiths as your first choice.

Please note: that you will be unable to register and apply for accommodation unless your academic course offer is Unconditional Firm or Conditional Firm.

Deadlines for applications

Undergraduate: 12pm on the 17 June 2013

Postgraduate: 12pm on the 17 June 2013

How it works

• If you have applied before the deadline and your offer is unconditional firm it will move onto the processing stage.
• If you have applied before the deadline and your offer is conditional firm it will go to the holding stage until your place becomes unconditional firm. Once it turns unconditional firm it will move over to the processing stage. Please note that places will then be offered depending on availability.
• If you're placed on the waiting list you'll receive an email to let you know.
• Applications will be considered incomplete if you only save and don't submit your application online, so please make sure you have submitted your application.
• Further updates and offers of accommodation will be sent to the email address you provide to us when you apply for your accommodation.
• If you live within London zones 1-9 your form will automatically go on a 'London waiting list' and we will contact you after the start of the first term as places start to become available. We'll look at the date your form was received in the office, the date your offer became 'unconditional firm' and how long it takes you to travel to Goldsmiths.
