Accommodation for Clearing Applicants

Student halls

We welcome applications and will process these as soon as possible when they are submitted during the Clearing period.

Accommodation will be subject to availability on a first come first served basis.

Private accommodation

If you would prefer to live in private accommodation, the Accommodation Office is on hand to guide and support you. Our contact details can be found below.

To find private accommodation, you can also use the Cornwall Student Pad website

To meet other students searching for accommodation and form groups to share houses with, we recommend our Find a Student Housemate Facebook group

Specific needs

If you have specific accommodation needs for health, medical or welfare reasons, you'll need to complete the accessibility questionnaire at the end of the application. You'll be required to provide some documentation (i.e. supporting medical evidence). Any such requests will be subject to room availability.

Living preferences 

In the application you can include living preferences such as quiet, single or mixed gender flats. These preferences will be taken into consideration when allocating but they are subject to availability. 

We strongly advise that you complete the application yourself rather than asking someone else to complete it for you. This is especially important when selecting living preferences as someone acting on your behalf may select options you do not want.
