You will be guaranteed a place in hall if you are:

A new full-time postgraduate who has accepted an offer from the University and applies for accommodation by 1 August**  and satisfies any conditions of your academic offer by 31 August of your year of entry*

*Subject to restrictions, please see the Accommodation Policy (PDF – 254kb) and Accommodation Application Terms and Conditions (PDF – 170kb)

A place in halls cannot be guaranteed if Reading is your insurance choice. 

The number of rooms available varies from year to year depending on the number of successful applications to the University.

You will not be able to apply for accommodation until Reading becomes your firm choice; this is usually the Monday following A-level results.

Students holding insurance offers should explore alternative accommodation arrangements if University accommodation is full – you will be provided with further information and guidance if this situation arises.
