Non-guaranteed Students
1 If you are a late applicant, ie you applied after 30 June 2014, we will endeavour to
offer you University accommodation but as your application will only be dealt with
after all guaranteed students, accommodation availability will be limited.
1 If you are an undergraduate applicant coming to Newcastle as your insurance
choice or through Clearing/Adjustment, we will endeavour to offer you University
accommodation, but as your application will only be dealt with after all guaranteed
students, accommodation availability will be limited.
1 If you are an undergraduate applicant who lives within reasonable commuting
distance of the University, and have not chosen us as your frm choice university, you
are classed as a waiting local. You should apply in the usual way and your details
will be put on a waiting list. Students living furthest away from the University will be
offered a room before those living closer to the city centre. If we are unable to offer
you a room at the start of term, you will be asked to remain at home until a room
becomes available, usually during the frst term.

you begin the process ensure you
complete it by 30 June to be covered
by the guarantee.
1 Do not use a school e-mail address
when creating your log-in. Offers are
sent over the summer so it is likely
you will no longer have access to
thisaccount. Add us to your e-mail
safe-senders.
1 Think carefully about your
accommodation choices to ensure
you are selecting the preferences
thatmatch your needs including
your budget.
1 You can choose up to 10 named
sites we recommend you choose
the maximum number of sites where
possible to improve your chance of
being offered one of your preferences.
Remember that small sites will fll
quickly, so look at the number of
rooms offered on each site.
1 If you need a specifc room allocation
due to a disability or medical condition,
including any hidden disabilities,
please ensure to include this in the
application. Do not assume that
you will be offered the correct type
of accommodation if you havent
advised us of any requirements and
there will be the risk that we do not
have an alternative at a later date.
