Live Q&A

– When you are likely to hear
– If you will find out who you are living with
– Whether you can move rooms
– What happens if you are arriving early

Finding out your student ID number
You need your student ID number in order to apply for accommodation. This is different from your UCAS number. For those of you joining us in 2018/19 you will have been provided with a nine digit number starting with a 67 or 68.
This will be quoted in the information sent by the University after you firmly accepted our offer of academic place.
Please add sid@exeter.ac.uk to your safe contacts, particularly if you are using an @hotmail or @live email address, so our emails don’t go to your junk/spam folder.
If you are unable to apply online please contact us.
