In late July/August/September, you will receive an email telling you that your application has been processed and asking you to view and accept your Offer of Residence online.

You must accept your online Offer of Residence within 7 days or your offer will expire and the room will be allocated to another student. Therefore it is important for you to check your email account during this period. Please note some e-mail providers may treat the email as spam, so please check your spam/junk mail folder as well as your inbox.

Your online Offer of Residence consists of the following information:

• Residences Agreement
• Residential Terms & Conditions
• Arrival Information
• Paying for Residences Guidelines

Once you have accepted your Offer of Residence, your room will be reserved for you and you will receive an email confirming this.

You will be offered a place for a set residential period and once you accept your Offer of Residence, you become liable for the fees and associated charges for the residential period stated on your Residences Agreement.

Temporary Accommodation

If you have not been made an Offer of Residence prior to your arrival in Cardiff, temporary hotel accommodation will be made available (during a limited period in September/October), for which a nominal charge will be made. As a guide the charge for session 2011/2012 was £15 per night.
