New Students

You can apply for 2024/2025 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!  

Subject Allocations

You can have the opportunity to live with students who are studying within the same subject areas.  If you would be interested in living with students who are undertaking similar courses to yourself, then do not hesitate to email us at cityaccommodationhub@wlv.ac.uk 

Where can I live?

We offer both ensuite and standard accommodation at our City Campus. Telford and Walsall both offer ensuite accommodation. Check out what we have to offer at each campus here: Where can I live?

Living With Friends 

We are also giving you the opportunity to apply to live within a friendship group, if there are a number of you who wish to live together on the same corridor, then email cityaccommodationhub@wlv.ac.uk and we will try to meet your requirements.  There are application forms for returning students available from your local Campus Information Hub. 

If you are unable to apply online, you will need to contact City Accommodation Hub and a manual application pack will be sent to you.

To make sure your name is down for the halls you want to live in you will need to make an advanced rent payment of £300, this works a little like a deposit and will be deducted from your final instalment of accommodation fees.

This is paid via your Star Rez account when accepting your licence agreement. 

Your Facilities Information Hub manages the student accommodation at all campuses across the University. 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. We will also help you if you want to change rooms or if you have any invoice queries

Due dates for your payments will be sent out with your contract, so make sure you write them in your diary and better still budget for them!

Accommodation fees are due for payment either:

  • In advance of arrival
  • On arrival
  • On receipt of an invoice. (The dates for payments will be stated on the invoice)

If you require Financial Support during your stay there are a couple of ways you can get help; check out our webpages for more information.

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

Firstly have a read through the Under 18s Policy

Then complete the Under 18 application Information pack (Word doc 42k) 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 your Local Facilities Information 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 to save some cash you can apply to move rooms once you’ve turned 18.

If you have any queries or questions please feel free to get in touch with the Senior Hub Manager at City Accommodation Hub or the Hub Manager at your local Facilities Information Hub.
