Accommodation - Undergraduates 2025 Entry

After you have received your preliminary college membership allocation, you will be contacted about University accommodation. An Accommodation form will be sent in June time to all those that have listed Durham as their Firm or Insurance choice.

Steps to Take

• Receive communication with a link to the Undergraduate College Accommodation Form
• Complete all steps confirming Yes or No to whether you wish to receive an offer of University accommodation

The criteria for all new first year undergraduates to be guaranteed an offer of accommodation from the University are:

• submit the Accommodation Form by the deadline of 2pm on Monday 14 July 2025 and
• meet the conditions of your offer.

It is important you submit the accommodation application as soon as possible and prior to the deadline.  

You will be given the option to actively decline the offer of accommodation from the University if you wish to live privately or at home instead for your studies. 

If you do not complete the Accommodation Form by the deadline we cannot guarantee availability from this point and you may not receive an offer of accommodation from the University. If you indicate you want to live in University accommodation after the deadline date you will be at risk of college reallocation.

We make every attempt for you to remain with the college you have preliminary membership with where possible, however this may not be possible in all cases. Further details regarding August Confirmation and college reallocations can be found here.

If you are confirmed in a college that is not your preliminary membership allocation, your offer of accommodation from the University will also change. 

You will receive an accommodation offer, known as a Licence Agreement. A deadline date will be provided to accept the offer. You must make a payment of Advanced Rent to secure the accommodation.
