2025/26 room bookings

2025/26 room bookings are now fully open for UAL students looking to live in halls from September 2025.

Please note the following:

  • It may take up to 72 hours from when you receive and accept your offer at UAL before you are able to log into the student accommodation portal to book a room.
  • International students enrolling at UAL on a full-time course for the first time, are guaranteed accommodation, provided you complete your booking by Friday 16 May 2025

2024/25 room bookings

2024/25 room bookings remain open, and will do for the full academic year. If you would like to live in a UAL over the summer months, please contact the  accommodation team for availability accommodation@arts.ac.uk.

How to book a room in halls

1. Create an account in our student accommodation portal

Register in advance for an account on the UAL student accommodation portal. You will need your 8-digit student UAL ID number. If you are a new student, this is detailed in your course offer.

2. Research our halls

Before you book a room in one of our halls, we strongly advise that you spend time researching the different halls and rooms we have available for 2025/26. This is to ensure  you are fully informed and prepared to book your room when you are ready. For the majority of students looking to live in halls, you will be able to book a room online via our student accommodation portal. Rooms are subject to availabilty.

If you are a Study Abroad programme student, an incoming Exchange programme student or you have specific requirements which will need to be taken into consideration when selecting a room, instead of booking a room directly via the student accommodation portal, you will be asked to select your top 5 preferences within the portal. The first preference will be your top choice.

If you would like to book a Quieter Lifestyle room, these will be available via the student accommodation portal. These rooms are subject to availability, and only available in select halls.

3. Book your room via our student accommodation portal

To book your room in halls, you will need to sign into the student accommodation portal and follow the instructions.

You will have 2 hours to complete your room booking, so please ensure you are prepared with the following information when you start your booking:

  • Your preferred halls and room types
  • Personal information
  • Payment method for your deposit

Room booking confirmation

If you are able to book online, you will be able to select a room and book immediately.

If you have applied for halls by providing us with your top 5 halls of residence, we will send you an offer of accommodation on one of the following dates:

  • 23 April
  • 13 May
  • 28 May
  • 10 June
  • 24 June
  • 8 July

After 22 July 2025, our last remaining rooms will be available to book online.  For students who reserve a room in one of our Partner Halls, you will have a short deadline to accept your accommodation offer.

For students who apply by providing their 5 preferences, your applications will be assessed on a first come, first served basis. While we will try to offer you one of your preferences, we cannot guarantee this due to availability. We prioritise students who have disclosed a disability or health condition in their application and students who will be under the age of 18 at the start of the tenancy.

Securing your booking and deposit

If you are able to book your room online in a UAL Managed Hall, to secure your room you will need to read and accept the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement and make an initial payment of £500 (£250 advanced rent and £250 damage deposit) via the student accommodation portal.

As Partner Halls manage their own bookings, the acceptance process and deposit amount varies between those halls run by our Partners. If you reserve a room online at a Partner Hall, we will send your details to the Partner and they will then email you detailed instructions on how to book and secure your room at that hall and the deadline to respond.  You won't need to need to log into your UAL accommodation portal to do this.

For students who apply by providing their 5 preferences, once your application has been assessed you will be sent an offer of accommodation and will be issued with a deadline to accept. If you have been offered a specific room, but cannot accept it by the deadline, please contact our accommodation team.

  • Any student who receives a room offer to live in halls for the 2024-25 academic year,  will have a 48-hour window to accept.
  • Our allocations work on a first come, first served basis. We prioritise students who have disclosed a disability or health condition in their application and students who will be under the age of 18 at the start of the tenancy.

2 hour booking window

The room you've selected will be held for 2 hours. If the 2 hour window closes before you complete your booking you will be able to start a new booking but there is no guarantee that the same room will be available.

Cancellations

For UAL Managed Halls, you can log into the student accommodation portal to request a cancellation before the tenancy start date. Please note that charges will apply depending on when you request the cancellation.

For our Partner Halls, please refer to the cancellation policy in your tenancy agreement. The cancellation procedure will differ from UAL Managed Halls.

Information for disabled students

If you have a disability or health condition, you can disclose this information via the student accommodation portal and begin a room booking. You can also notify us of any support or room adjustments you may need.

Once you have disclosed a disability or health condition, instead of booking a room directly via the portal, you will be asked to provide us with your top 5 hall preferences. We will then be in touch with you directly to offer you a room that best suits your requirements and preferences.

Information for students under 18

Students who are under the age of 18 at the start of the tenancy (for one of the University managed halls) and their parent / guardian are encouraged to carefully read the Tenancy terms and conditions, UAL Accommodation Policy for Under 18s and all the other information we make available when booking a room in one of our halls.

If you will live in a Partner Hall, you should check the Under 18 policy with the hall provider.

Please note, in order to be considered for YourTRIBE Peckham, you will need to be 18 years old or above at the beginning of the contract.

Information about Equal Opportunities

We are proud of our diverse student communities. We are committed to ensuring all our halls are an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

The University’s Strategy and our Equal Opportunities Policy sets out our commitment to promote equality and diversity on the grounds of age, caring responsibilities, disability, gender, nationality, race, religious belief (or no belief), sexual orientation, socio-economic class or trans.
