Find out how to join our housing waiting list and how this may apply to you.
Clearing students through UCAS
We have a minimum of 350 University-managed bed spaces for Clearing applicants, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
As soon as we have your exam results and you accept your Clearing offer from Sussex, you will be able to apply for accommodation through our housing portal.
The sooner you accept your offer, the more likely it is that you will secure guaranteed accommodation.
If you miss out on a University-managed room, our housing team will support you in securing private accommodation.
Eligibility criteria
Whether you need to join the housing waiting list depends on the type of student you are.
- Home Masters Taught students should email housing@sussex.ac.uk to activate their housing portal account.
- Returning students can join the waiting list straight away. There is no need to email housing.
- New late Undergraduate students and visiting and exchange student applicants can join the waiting list from Monday 1 July.
- New late International Masters student applicants can join the waiting list from Friday 2 August.
Some students are guaranteed accommodation as part of their offer. If you’re not sure if this applies to you, check your eligibility.
Important: If you’ve already secured private sector accommodation for the 2024/25 academic year, but would like to join our waiting list instead, check with your agent or landlord whether you can terminate the tenancy agreement without liability. Do not join the waiting list unless you have successfully terminated your agreement.
If you have any outstanding debt to the University or were found to have breached your previous accommodation terms and conditions, you won't be offered accommodation.
Getting taken off the list
If you no longer need accommodation and want to be removed from the waiting list, email housing@sussex.ac.uk.
Getting updates
We’ll be making offers of accommodation to successful applicants over the next few weeks.
