Accommodation Guarantee

We guarantee a room in our Halls of Residence for all new full-time, first year students starting with us in September 2024 who apply and accept their room offer by the date that applies to status. See the details for home and international applicants below.

No deposit required

We recognise the significant challenges families are facing due to the rising cost of living, and we won’t be asking students joining us in September 2024 to pay an upfront accommodation deposit when reserving a place in our Halls of Residence.

UK students guarantee

If you are a UK student and hold a conditional or unconditional Firm offer of a course place at the University of Northampton, we will contact you by email to invite you to apply for a place in Halls (this will usually be from March before you are due to start your studies). You will need to register an account and then make your application.

You need to apply and accept their room offer by 10 June 2024* for you to be eligible for the guarantee.

Priority booking will be given to disabled students and first-year students who live outside Northampton.

International students guarantee

To be eligible for this guarantee, you need to hold a conditional or unconditional offer for September 2024, and pay your tuition deposit as stated on your offer letter. We need to have received your deposit by 1 July 2024* for you to be eligible for the guarantee.

After we have received your tuition fee deposit, we will contact you by email to invite you to apply for a place in Halls. You will need to register for the accommodation portal and then make your application.

Please note: Applicants are not guaranteed their first-choice room or location. Rooms are allocated on a first come, first served basis, so please reply as soon as you receive your invitation to apply for Halls.

Please be aware that to ensure the guarantee, you will need to confirm that you accept the room offer by the stated deadline. For further information about the application process, please see our How to apply for Halls page.
