Have you applied for on campus accommodation?
How to apply
You will need to make an application if you wish to live in university managed accommodation.
You will be emailed instructions on how to apply once you have accepted your course offer at Sussex and accommodation applications have opened.
The deadline for guaranteed applications to apply is Friday 31 July. To check if you are guaranteed accommodation please see our accommodation guarantee.
You can see our how to apply for housing webpage for more details about the application process.
Insurance choice students
Whilst Insurance choice students are not guaranteed university managed accommodation, we encourage you to make an application.
Once we’ve allocated rooms to students eligible for guaranteed housing, we’ll then be in a position to offer accommodation to you.
Deferred students
If you deferred your entry from last academic year, you are still guaranteed housing as long as you apply before the deadline. You will be emailed details on how to apply. If you haven’t received an email by April, we recommend you contact the admissions team.
Arrival time slots
If you are living in University-managed accommodation, you will be given the opportunity to book a time slot to collect your key. If you’re living on campus, this is also when you’ll move into your room.
Time slots are only available for students arriving over the September Welcome Weekend. You will be emailed by the Housing Team closer to arrivals weekend with details on how to book.
Cancellation
You may cancel your university accommodation, without penalty, provided this is done before Welcome Weekend and only if you have not yet moved into the room.
You must tell the Housing Office in writing, prior to this date, of your wish to cancel your housing agreement.
