Accommodation Information

Applying For Accommodation

Here at the University of Wolverhampton we are proud to offer accommodation for students both new and returning, students with disabilities, international students & under 18s. We also provide short stay accommodation for both students & visitors.

We do not have accommodation on campus for cohabiting couples or families. Student accommodation usually provides single study bedrooms which are suited to individual students. If you arrive at campus and have not pre-booked your room in University Accommodation, please be advised we cannot accept cash payments on campus.

You can apply for 2022/2023 Accommodation. You can apply online as soon as you have confirmed your offer of a place on a course with the University of Wolverhampton.

We've made it nice and easy for you with our e:vision system! Here you can select and apply for your accommodation all you need is your student number!

We will assist you if you have any problems in the accommodation or if you are experiencing any difficulties with the people you live with.

If you are applying to live within University Accommodation and you will not be 18 when you arrive at Uni, there are a couple of things you need to do to make sure you get a place in halls:

Firstly have a read through the 

Then complete the Under 18s Application Form Information Pack (Word doc 63k) before your accommodation can be secured.

The guarantor form covers the financial side of things and will need to be completed by a parent/guardian. 

The guarantor form/required documents will need to be returned to The Accommodation Hub asap so we can process your application, get all the admin side sorted and you can get set for life at uni.

If you are under 18 you automatically get allocated en suite accommodation – you might see this as a super bonus! But if you would prefer standard or economy to save some cash you can apply to move rooms once you’ve turned 18.
