Good morning all! Today marks the start of our extra blog posts which will run between now and Friday 11 September to give you extra information and support during this busy time. Our blogs will be posted at 11:00am on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We will also have a bonus blog on Thursday 13 August â A level results day! They will provide information about applications, offers and arrivals and will prepare you for all things âaccommodationâ between now and The Arrivals Period.
âHow toâ videos
We have created a number of âhow toâ videos which provide step by step instructions on how to use our different accommodation systems. We recommend that these are viewed prior to completing each activity because they are a very helpful guide. These videos include:
- How to activate an accommodation account(once you have a firm course offer with the University of Exeter)
- How to submit an application for accommodation
- How to accept an offer of accommodation(once you have been sent an offer of accommodation via email)
- How to complete your online eInduction(once youâve been sent an email)
- How to book your arrival slot(once youâve completed the eInduction and been sent an email about arranging your check-in)
Applying for accommodation?
We have a designated webpage for students applying during August and September. This page will be updated with advice and availability over the next few weeks. We will also provide updates on the accommodation situation through our blog posts.
If you decide to apply for University accommodation, please be aware that you are able to choose three preferences of accommodation, however, you will be unable to choose specific residences within your application and instead are only able to choose the following:
- Type of accommodation e.g. cateredor self-catered
- Room type e.g. standard, en-suite or studio
- Contract length
There is a notes section within the application, so please provide any additional information within this section, as we do read everything that is written down.
As well as our regular blog posts, we will also be keeping you updated on news and events via our Facebook page. If you havenât liked our page already then we would encourage you to do this to find out all about the latest accommodation information. If you donât have a Facebook account then donât worry, we also have a live stream of our posts which show on the right hand side of our Accommodation website homepage, so you wonât miss out.
