Student Accommodation

If you're a first-year undergraduate student and make your accommodation application before 5pm on the 26 June 2024, you’ll be guaranteed a place in University owned, managed or approved accommodation. 

Applying for University accommodation involves registering, applying and then waiting to hear which residence you've been allocated. Check out the key dates below: 

Explore the University's accommodation options to see which might best suit you. You'll be able to find out about the accommodation, what's included in the rent, where the residence is located and the price. 

The below costs and bed numbers refer to students starting in September 2024 as a guide.

If you have a disability, physical or mental health condition that requires special consideration or adjustment in your accommodation, then you'll need to tell us about this during your application and provide medical evidence. 

We encourage you to apply for accommodation as soon as you can if you think this might apply to you. You can find out more about our accommodation application and allocation policy in relation to medical priorities by contacting accommodation@fxplus.ac.uk

You must have firmly accepted your place to study with Falmouth University before applying for accommodation. 

1. Once you're ready, create an account in Room Service using your Falmouth student ID. This number can be found in your application portal. 
2. Rank your accommodation in order of preference. 
3. Confirm your choices and submit your application. 

Keep in mind that we can’t guarantee that you’ll be allocated your top choices, so make sure you have a good look at the other options and put them in your order of preference. 

If you need help deciding, you can chat to our friendly Accommodation Team. 

We want accommodation allocation to be as fair as possible, so we use a ballot. This means that you'll be able to tell us your preferences, and we’ll try to accommodate these, but because some of the choices are more popular than others, not everyone can be allocated these. The accommodation you'll be allocated therefore will be partly decided by the ballot. 

What happens in a ballot? 

All student accommodation applications are anonymised and randomised before being given a number. This number is the application's position in the 'ballot'. We then allocate accommodation according to your application's position in the ballot. We'll offer you the highest one of your accommodation preferences available at that time. 

This means you may not get your top choices. You can read more about the accommodation and allocations policy here. 

If you apply after 26 June 2024

After the 26 June, accommodation will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis according to what's still available, and you are not guaranteed a place in University owned and managed accommodation. 

Once you’ve completed your application you can expect to hear the result in the following timeframes: 

Appealing your allocation

If there is a reason that the accommodation you've been allocated is not suitable, for example you have a disability, medical condition or welfare circumstances that make it unsuitable, then you'll be able to appeal the decision. It’s important to include information about these things in your application so we can try and allocate you the best accommodation for your needs in the first instance. If you appeal the accommodation you’ve been allocated we will, where possible, try and find a solution for you. 

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. Go to our Clearing accommodation page for more information on how to apply.
