2 | MY ACCOMMODATION

Coming to King’s

Congratulations...You have now received an offer of a place to study an academic programme at King’s College London for the 2011-12 session, and will be thinking about the practicalities of studying and living in London.

My accommodation is designed to provide you with information on all of the College and University Intercollegiate residences, along with details of any nomination agreements for privately managed residences. The following pages include details of the available facilities, accommodation charges, application process and allocations policy. General advice on seeking alternative accommodation in the private rented sector is also provided.

Please read this information carefully before completing your application.

New first year undergraduates Details of the application procedure and policy are provided on pages 21-30. If you satisfy all of these criteria, you are new to higher education, your home address is outside the M25 and we receive your accommodation application by 30 June, your application will be included in the first round of allocations and you should expect to receive an offer of a place (not necessarily in your first year).

You may apply for accommodation even if your family home is within the M25 ring road or you have previously commenced a programme of study at higher education level within the UK although your application will have lower priority and is unlikely to be considered before the start of session.

New first year postgraduates Details of the application procedure and policy are provided on pages 21-30. Most postgraduates will live in the private rented sector although there is a quota of places available in the College, Liberty and University residences. If you are an international student who has never lived or studied in the UK before and satisfy all of the criteria, you will be considered in the allocations prior to start of session. European and home applicants will be of a lower priority and unlikely to be considered prior to the start of session.

CommunicationsApplicants should apply for accommodation online. All subsequent communications from Accommodation Services will be made by email to the address provided by the applicant and it is essential that this email account is regularly monitored. Applications are usually acknowledged within three weeks of submission; if an application has not been correctly completed or additional information is required candidates will be notified at this time.

Hampstead Residence

MY ACCOMMODATION | 3

Your accommodationThe College is fortunate in being well provided with places in a variety of residences. King’s students currently have access to approximately 903 places in the halls of residences, 1,321 in the self-catering apartments, 28 in the student house, c50 within Liberty Living (nominated residence) and 677 in the University Intercollegiate halls.

Approximately 70 per cent of places are reserved for first year under graduate students and the remainder are allocated primarily to intending post graduates applying from overseas.

Twin rooms are available at some residences; sharing a room can be an excellent way of meeting new people and the current accommodation charges represent a cost saving.

SmokingApplicants should note that all residences are strictly non-smoking.

College residencesAll of our residences are served by public transport and have access to all the Campuses by bus, underground or mainline train. Travel times vary from 15 minutes to approximately one hour, depending on place of residence and teaching Campus.

Our residences are staffed by resident managers who are supported by a team of appointed Senior Students. Students who experience difficulties in the residences should contact a Senior Student or manager in the first instance; where a manager is not resident on the site, a duty manager/security officer will be available to deal with any difficulties or problems. Information and advice is also available from Accommodation Services.

There is an Entertainment and Amenity fund to purchase social or sports

equipment and to organise clubs, societies and special events; the subscription is included in the accommodation charge.

Residence Regulations are established for the benefit of all and cover such matters as quiet hours, guest rules, use of kitchens, musical instruments etc.

A copy of the Residence Regulations can be found on the accommodation web pages and prospective applicants should be familiar with these prior to submitting an application.

Applicants are encouraged to visit the residences and occasional tours are organised, normally in September. Full details of the tours and a copy of My residence will be available on the College web pages; this information is updated annually and may be subject to change.

Maintenance programmesThe College keeps under review the quality and style of its accommodation provision and, for example, there are plans to refurbish/develop a number of student rooms at both the Hampstead Residence and King’s College Hall. There is also an ongoing programme of maintenance within all residences which may involve phased closure of areas, contractors working on site etc. The College will do its best to minimise inconvenience to

residents and to give advance notification of major works where practical. It may be necessary to close buildings during refurbishment/development works and this may impact on the availability of bed spaces and the College’s allocation priorities; and it may be necessary for residents to move within the residence as development plans progress. There may also be works on adjoining sites which have implications for users of the College buildings.

Further details are available at www.kcl.ac.uk/accomm

Computer accessResidents who are registered at the College will have access to the College network in the Residence. Access is either using wireless or hard wired facilities and students should bring their own computers.

College sports facilitiesKing’s students may make use of a range of College sports facilities located at teaching Campuses including gyms and a swimming pool and the College sports grounds. In most cases, a membership fee is charged.

Who... what... where...



HallsThe halls are traditional in arrangement with twin and single rooms sharing communal bathrooms and kitchens on a corridor. Most corridors and bathrooms are mixed. Cleaning of communal areas is included in the residence fee; residents at some halls are required to clean their own rooms. Each hall offers facilities including launderette and television rooms and some also offer quiet study areas, cycle sheds, access to sports and games facilities, a garden or courtyard and much more. The traditional halls encourage a community environment and many have a student social committee to assist in the organisation of social events.

All King’s residences are self catered, apart from King’s College Hall which is currently catered.

Student houseThere is also a small student house, providing accommodation for postgraduate and mature undergraduate students (23 years plus). Fixtures and decoration are of a basic standard and bedrooms vary in size.

Self-catering apartmentsThe apartments provide 1,317 places for single students and two double rooms for couples.

The bedrooms are arranged in self-contained apartments, usually for four to nine students sharing a communal kitchen-diner. All bedrooms have en-suite shower, WC and washbasin and a refrigerator. A colour television is provided in each kitchen-diner and an on-site launderette is available. Some bedrooms are adapted for students with disabilities. The majority of apartments are mixed although some will be allocated for single sex occupancy. Residents are responsible for cleaning their own rooms, kitchen diners and apartments.

The apartments encourage a more independent style of living; residents may make use of the social facilities on near-by Campuses and there are also some communal facilities at Great Dover Street Apartments.

InsurancePersonal possessions insurance cover is provided at the King’s residences and details can be found at www.kcl.ac.uk/

accomm.

Nomination AgreementsThe College may work with a range of third party providers to offer a wider portfolio of accommodation including ensuite and studio accommodation for single students and couples.

The College currently has a nomination agreement for places at Liberty House – St John Street. The Residence offers convenient, high standard accommodation in single en suite studios. Allocations are made by Accommodation Services but the accommodation agreement is made directly with Liberty Living and details of current arrangements are provided on page 11.

University Intercollegiate hallsKing’s students may also apply to live in one of the Intercollegiate halls which provide an opportunity for residents to mix with students from all Colleges of the University of London. Some are traditional in arrangement with twin and single rooms sharing communal bathrooms on a corridor. En suite facilities are available at College Hall and some single and double studios at International Hall. The Intercollegiate halls are catered, providing breakfast and evening meals daily, plus lunch at weekends. At International Hall and Lillian Penson Hall there is some self catered accommodation with light cooking facilities, for postgraduates only. The halls are well served by public transport for access to the King’s campuses. See www.london.

ac.uk/halls for details.

Alternative accommodationLondon also has a plentiful supply of private accommodation and details are provided on page 15-17.

University Intercollegiate halls

Intercollegiate hallsThe Intercollegiate halls accept full-time students from all the Colleges within the University of London and are able to house a specific quota of King’s students.

Allocations are undertaken by King’s Accommodation Services in accordance with procedures for the College allocations. Applicant details will be forwarded to the relevant hall in respect of successful candidates.

Most of the Intercollegiate halls (excluding Lilian Penson Hall and Nutford House) are located in the Bloomsbury area. All are convenient for transport links to King’s campuses and the West End and access to the Senate House Library and the University of London Union.

Contact details for the Intercollegiate

residences are given on page 32. See

www.london.ac.uk/halls for further details.


General information

Study Abroad applicants A quota of places is allocated to Study Abroad Independent applicants as well as Study Abroad Exchange applicants from partner universities outside of the EU, who submit their accommodation application before the 30 June closing date.

Places at the Intercollegiate/nominated residences are usually only available for the full session although those coming for the second and third semesters may make a direct application.

Due to the limited number of places in our residences, it may not be possible to offer rooms to Study Abroad Exchange candidates applying from partner universities within the EU and such applicants are unlikely to be considered prior to the start of session. These applicants are advised to check the Accommodation Services and University of London Housing Services web pages for details of alternative private housing options and should not assume that College/Intercollegiate accommodation will be available for the period of their stay.

Field Trips/academic placements/etc At the time of writing places at the College/Intercollegiate and Liberty residences are offered on a standard fixed term agreement. If a student is away from College during this period on an academic placement, etc, or for research purposes s/he will remain liable for the full residence fee, unless a replacement

can be found to take over the agreement in accordance with the relevant letting agreement, and this cannot be guaranteed. It is recommended that applicants in this category discuss their individual accommodation requirements with Accommodation Services before applying.

Students with childrenThe College currently has NO accommodation which is suitable for families. Students are strongly advised NOT to bring dependants with them to London until they have found some where suitable for them to live. There is some family accommodation at International Hall, University of London.

Students with disabilitiesApplicants with a disability and/or special housing requirement should make early contact with the College’s Disability and Dyslexia Support Services Office (see contact details on page 32) and Accommodation Services to discuss any specific support needs. Applicants are encouraged to make an information visit to the College; this will provide an opportunity for a personal assessment of existing facilities and services, identify adjustments which may be required, and help candidates to decide whether King’s will provide a suitable environment in which to live and study.

Applicants who have special housing requirements should complete a

Self-Assessment Form which is available on the Accommodation Services web pages, in liaison with their GP/Specialist; this will help to provide an accurate assessment of how the disability or health condition may affect the applicant’s day-to-day living and housing provision. Further details of the assessment and allocation process and the College’s policy on disclosure of information will also be available on request. (Also see advice on page 27).

Disclosure of a disability to another department of the College should not be relied upon in order to notify Accommodation Services of a special housing requirement.

Within the residential stock, the College has some bedrooms and common facilities which have been adapted for students with special housing requirements and we will endeavour to make reasonable adaptations for individual applicants. The College’s Guide to Disability and Dyslexia provides information about services and support for students with disabilities at King’s. A copy may be requested from the Disability and Dyslexia Support Services Office or online at www.kcl.ac.uk/about/

Accommodation Services in advance to discuss their housing requirements.

Vacation and pre-course accommodationThe College and Intercollegiate residences are managed on a self-funding basis and most take commercial bookings during the summer vacation; the income from these bookings is used to support the costs associated with running the residences and helps to keep student accom modation fees at affordable levels. There are some constraints on student bookings during the summer; it is not uncommon for some residences to be full during these periods and student vacation rates are offered at specified locations. The Liberty and Intercollegiate residences are generally only available for the standard academic period and any summer vacation lettings are managed directly by Liberty Living and the individual Intercollegiate Halls.

Students who require vacation accommodation during the summer vacation period for non-academic purposes may book through Conference & Timetabling Services (see page 32 for contact details). All bookings are subject to availability and an additional charge.

Extended programmesThe College has a number of programmes with extended teaching dates and these may not correspond with the current standard period of residence. Residents who are enrolled on a programme with extended teaching dates have an opportunity during the second semester to apply at one of the College residences for accommodation for 1 to 11 weeks during the summer vacation period. Some residences will have a quota of summer places although this may vary from year to year and all residents should expect to have to move to another room or residence at the end of the standard residence agreement. Applicants should note that none of the College residence agreements will continue into the next academic session and students who are living in the residences during the 2011-12

session, and are not allocated a place for the 2012-13 session, will be required to vacate their accommodation in early September (date to be confirmed) to allow the accommodation to be prepared for new students arriving in mid-September.

During the summer vacation period some facilities may not be available.

Students not accommodated in a College, Liberty or Intercollegiate residenceMost students will live in privately rented accommodation at some time during their studies and this provides a great opportunity to gain experience of living in London.

General information

Great Dover Street Common Room


To assist those not accommodated in a College, Liberty or Intercollegiate residence, advice on living in the private sector, lists of privately-let properties and hostels, and details of the University Sharers’ List are available. London offers an enormous range of accommodation; you will need to think about the options and plan well in advance, but finding a place to live outside the College/University residences need not be a daunting task.

How to get started?The London Student Housing Guide is produced by the University of London Housing Services (ULHS, contact details on page 32) and is packed full of useful information and helpful tips; the Guide is available to applicants who are unlikely to be offered a place in residence by King’s Accommodation Services, this includes home postgraduate applicants and those with a home address within the M25 ring road, most of whom will secure accommodation in the private rented sector in their first year. Applicants can request a copy from King’s Accommodation Services or view the information at www.housing.london.ac.uk The University of London Housing Services web site offers helpful guidance on:• Choosing the kind of housing which is most suitable for you and suggestions for where to start looking, including local newspapers, registered agencies etc; • Useful tips on finding your way around London and staying safe; staff cannot find private accommodation on a student’s behalf but are able to give practical help and advice on finding somewhere to live; • Housing advice and Tenancy Deposit Scheme information• The Licensing requirements introduced by the Housing Act 2004 • Safety matters including gas certification; Furnishings and Fire Regulations.

The King’s Student Advice & International Student Support Office

can advise on a wide range of housing matters including inventories, disrepair, tenancies, landlord responsibilities, deposits, possession proceedings, home safety, household budgeting and TV licensing. Their website also has a number of helpful handouts on matters such as Council Tax, househunting, deposits and repairs (see www.kcl.ac.uk/welfare).

The King’s College Students’ Union (KCLSU) also has an advice and support team to help students and provide support throughout their time at King’s and this includes issues relating to all aspects of housing. Whether you decide to stay at home or are feeling lost living in a hall of residence they are there to help. You can find further information on the KCLSU website at www.kclsu.org in their Advice and Support section. Here you will also find a link to their accommodation guide Your Place or Mine? plus information on finding accommodation and your rights.

Help and guidance is also available from the College Accommodation Services. See page 32 for contact details.

Privately-let flats and housesThe ULHS also has a database of available properties; lists of self-contained flats and houses, rooms, studios and flat shares, usually within an hour’s travel distance from the College; none of the property advertised has been visited by the University or College Accommodation Services and we welcome any feedback from students who have made use of the information to find their accommodation. The database is password protected; the password is available from King’s Accommodation Services or the ULHS Office by clearly identifying yourself as a prospective student of the College. If you have difficulty, contact King’s Accommodation Services for assistance.

During the spring semester and summer vacation the College and University offices arrange useful talks for students who are planning to look for accommodation in the private rented sector; details will be available on the Accommodation web pages at

www.kcl.ac.uk/accomm and the ULHS web pages at www.housing.london.ac.uk

Letting agentsSome students use a lettings agent to assist them with finding a flat or a room in a shared flat. The ULHS website has details of agents who have signed up to the ULHS Code of Practice for Registered Accommodation Agencies. The Code covers both how the Agent deals with potential tenants and the minimum property and management standards with which Agencies should agree to comply if they are managing the property on behalf of the landlord. The Code exceeds the statutory requirements placed on Agencies and is intended to support students and staff in securing good quality and well-managed rented property.

Please note that where an Agent is acting as an introductory agent, the ULHS will not have had any direct contact with the landlord and s/he will not have signed up to any Code of Good Practice regarding the management of the property.

Letting agents cannot charge tenants fees for registering on their list but may charge for services such as drawing up a contract, checking references and finding the accommodation.

Independent hostels and private hallsLondon also has a number of private hostels and halls which are not linked to a particular college or university and provide accommodation for students and key workers, offering an opportunity to live with a diverse range of young people.

Those developed in recent years are often more expensive than traditional student residences, generally offering a high standard of accommodation and services on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy.

The University of London Housing Services website provides comprehensive details of independent hostels and private halls with approximate costs and links to websites. Please note that King’s and ULHS staff have not visited the

Private accommodation



accommodation listed or checked the quality of housing offered; however, privately owned residences should be signed up to the ANUK Code of Standards for Larger Developments. See www.anuk.org.uk for details. The Code is voluntary but members agree to provide accommodation which meets nationally recognised standards and a procedure that you can follow if disputes occur.

Online accommodation websitesThere are numerous useful websites you can use when looking for private housing but you should exercise caution if requested to deposit monies without meeting landlords/letting agents or viewing a property in advance. You should only transfer money once you are certain that you have found the right property. If you have any doubts regarding the ownership of the property it is always worth checking with the Land Registry (a small fee applies) at www.landregisteronline.gov.uk. If in doubt call the Student Advice Line 020 7848 6858 (operated by Student Advice & International Student Support) straight away.

When to start looking?This will depend on the type of accommodation you are looking for. Applications for places in a hostel or private residence usually need to be made several months in advance but accommodation in a flat/house or with a resident landlord can normally be arranged 4-6 weeks in advance.

The ULHS Guide provides useful checklists to take with you when you are viewing properties; things to look out for, and questions to ask. This will include checking that the property is safe and secure; for example, if there are any gas appliances in the property the landlord must provide a valid Gas Safety Certificate issued by the Gas Safe Register. Furnishings should comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988.

From the 1 October 2008 landlords must also provide an Energy

Performance Certificate to any potential tenants when they view a property.

Temporary accommodation A place in a College Residence is usually available for students who wish to book temporary accommodation in London during the summer vacation (July – mid September) while they look for somewhere to live. Conference & Timetabling Services can provide information on availability and charges (contact details on page 32).

Finding someone to share withThe ULHS also holds a list of students who wish to share a house or flat with other students, outside the College

‘I live in private accommodation in Putney. Whilst looking for houses, I found the closer to the centre of the city, the smaller/worse the houses/flats were and the more expensive they became. So I would recommend looking a little further out (zone 2).’

or University accommodation. An applicant’s personal details (including age, telephone number and contact address) are published on the ULHS website and on notice boards in the College; students should only participate in the Sharers’ List if they are happy for their details to be published in this way.

InsuranceEnsure that your personal belongings are insured. If your landlord/accommodation provider does not include insurance you should arrange this yourself. The King’s College London Students’ Union (KCLSU) website has further information; also check with your parents to see if you have cover under any possessions policy they may have. There are lots of price comparison websites available which may be useful in providing further information.

What to do if things go wrongThe London Student Housing Guide provides lots of advice on what to do when you have found somewhere to live. Good planning will help to prevent difficulties in the future; for example:• check the property carefully for any defects, • find out if the landlord/property is properly licensed, • agree an inventory in writing and note any damage – consider taking photographs, • make sure you understand any documentation and payments which may be required.

If things do go wrong, however, make sure that you put things in writing and take advice as quickly as possible. Find out what help may be available from Accommodation Services, Student Advice & International Student Support, King’s Students’ Union (KCLSU) and ULHS.

Shelter is a charity providing advice, information and advocacy to people in housing need. They provide an emergency housing advice telephone service from 08.00 to midnight on 0808 800 4444. Further details are available at www.england.shelter.org.uk

Students Living at HomeMany students will live at home during their studies. See www.kclsu.org for details of the welcome events and buddy system.

Online applications are only accepted from applicants who meet the application criteria.

On time applications from students who will be new to the College must be received by 30 June.

Application procedure

Applicants with lower priority for College, Liberty or Intercollegiate accommodation should also consider private accommodation. See pages 15-17.


Undergraduate applicantsAll full-time undergraduate students who are entering higher education in the UK for the first time on a programme of two or more years duration, who submit their accommodation application prior to the 30th June closing date and whose home address is outside the M25 ring road (including International applicants) are guaranteed an offer of one year (not necessarily their first) in either a College, Intercollegiate or nominated residence (eg Liberty House).

Applicants within this category who have firmly accepted a conditional (CF) or unconditional (UF) offer of a place on an academic programme at King’s should expect to receive an offer of a place in residence in their first year.

International applicantsNew students who have applied on-time, having not previously lived or studied in the UK and do not have a home address within the M25 ring road

and who will be registered at the College for the full session (September to June), will have priority for a place in their first year. It may not be possible to offer rooms to Study Abroad Exchange applicants from partner universities within the EU and such applicants should not assume that accommodation will be available for the period of their stay. Please see page 13.

Applicants with a home address within the M25 ring road/studied at higher education level beforeApplicants with a home address inside the M25 ring road and those who have previously commenced a higher education academic programme in the UK may apply but will have lower priority and are unlikely to be considered for accommodation until after the start of session. If we are able to consider applicants in this category, priority will be given to applications from undergraduates new to higher education received prior to

the 30 June closing date and according to home address/travel zone/distance from the College.

Applications received after the 30 June closing dateBecause of high demand for accommodation, applications received after the 30th June closing date are less likely to be considered prior to the start of session. Priority for any late vacancies which do occur will be given to international applicants and to applicants with exceptional housing requirements.

Study Abroad/non degree applicantsProvided that the accommodation application is submitted before the 30 June Closing date, priority is given to Study Abroad Independent applicants as well as Study Abroad Exchange applicants from partner universities outside of the EU. At times of high demand, it may not be possible to offer rooms to Study Abroad Exchange

Who should apply?

Before 30 JuneApplicants holding a CF or UF offer may apply. Accommodation applications received by 30 June from Undergraduate applicants who are entering higher education in the UK for the first time and who do not have a home address within the M25 ring road will be considered in the first round of allocations following confirmation of UF status.

30 June until 19 August (before publication of A-level results)• Applicants holding a UF offer may continue to apply although applications will not be considered until the second or subsequent rounds of allocations, during early September. Within the quota of available places, priority will be given to intending undergraduate applicants who are usually resident overseas and to applicants with a home address outside the M25 ring road. • Applicants holding a CF offer may not now apply until all conditions of entry to the College have been satisfied; this means that if an academic place depends on obtaining certain grades at A-level or other examination results, application should not be made between 30 June and the date that these examination results are known.

After 20 August (publication of A-level results)• Applicants holding a UF offer (having now satisfied all the conditions of entry) may continue to apply but are less likely to be offered a place in a residence before start of session. • Intending undergraduate applicants applying through Clearing should apply for accommodation as soon as they

know that they are definitely coming to the College but are less likely to be offered a place in residence before the start of session; places will be limited and priority given to international applicants.• Application in mid-September may be made directly to the centralised Intercollegiate waiting list (see page 12 for details).

When will you be notified about your accommodation?• First round allocations will be confirmed during the weeks following publication of A-level results and eligible applicants who are successful at this time should expect to receive an offer of accommodation by 1 September. • Allocations continue until the start of session and applicants are considered for any of the places which are available at the time of allocation.• Eligible applicants remain on the waiting list and are usually only notified when their application has been successful. Very late offers in September will be made by telephone or email.Applicants who have applied through UCAS must update their contact details via UCAS.

My details have changed. Who should I contact?Your contact details are stored on the College student record system; applicants should ensure that these contact details are correct. Applicants who have applied

through UCAS must update their contact details via their UCAS Track account as Admissions Offices are unable to amend these details on behalf of applicants. The amended information will automatically be communicated to the College system. After registration at the College, students will be responsible for updating their details via OneSpace, the College portal for students and staff.

Insurance offersApplicants holding King’s as their insurance offer may not submit an application form to Accommodation Services until all conditions of entry have been satisfied and the applicant has a confirmed place at the College; for undergraduate applicants this will usually be after publication of A-level results.

Deferred entrants Applicants who have deferred their entry to King’s must apply using the appropriate application period, for example if you have deferred entry until September 2011 you must complete a 2011-12 application, even if you have already completed a 2010-11 application form. Similarly, if you decide to defer entry until September 2012, you must complete a 2012-13 application. The online application period for 2011-12 will be available for new undergraduate and postgraduate applicants from November 2010 onwards. Applications should be submitted to Accommodation Services

Changing programme of study via ClearingApplicants who do not satisfy the conditions of entry for their first choice programme, and who are later accepted for a different programme at College, should contact Accommodation Services straight away.

Applicants’ home addresses will be taken into consideration.

Postgraduate applicantsFull-time postgraduates may apply to three of the undergraduate College halls, the student house and self-catering apartments, Liberty Living and the Intercollegiate halls; a quota of places in each of these residences is allocated to postgraduate students.

International studentsPriority is given to new international postgraduates who are entering the College for the first time on a programme of study of at least one year, who have not lived or studied in the UK before and to postgraduates with exceptional need for College, Liberty or Intercollegiate accommodation. However, not all will be successful prior to start of session and all applicants are encouraged to consider alternative housing options. It may not be possible to offer rooms to Study Abroad Exchange candidates applying from partner universities within the EU and such applicants should not assume that accommodation will be available for the period of their stay. Please see page 13.

Students living in the UKApplicants with a permanent home address in the UK and those who have previously studied in London (ie within the M25 ring road) are welcome to apply.

However, demand for postgraduate places is high relative to availability and these applications will only be considered if any late vacancies occur within the postgraduate quotas.

Who should apply?

Before 30 JuneApplicants who have firmly accepted a conditional (CF) or unconditional (UF) offer may apply although applications will only be considered following confirmation of an applicant’s UF status. Applications received before 30 June from applicants who have not lived or studied in the UK before will be considered in the first round of allocations.

30 June onwardsApplicants holding a UF offer (having now satisfied all the conditions of entry) may continue to apply but are less likely to be offered a place in a College, Liberty or Intercollegiate residence before start of session. Priority will continue to be given to applicants who have not lived or studied in the UK before.

When will you be notified about your accommodation?• Successful applicants will be notified of the location of their accommodation from mid-July onwards. Allocations continue until the start of session and applicants are considered for any of the places which are available at the time.• Eligible applicants remain on the waiting list and will only be notified if their application is successful. Very late offers in September will be made by telephone or email and applicants should ensure that we have their correct contact details. You should do this via MyApplication. If you have not applied online please contact your Admissions Office to advise of any changes to your contact details so that the College’s records can be amended.• Home postgraduates, who are not usually considered for a place in residence until after the start of session, may contact the College or University of London

During the session, applications from part-time students who are registered with the College may be considered depending on availability of places at designated residences.b. Applications from candidates holding an insurance offer should not be submitted until the candidate has firmly accepted an unconditional offer and is definitely taking up an academic place at King’s.

c. According to availability of bedspaces, Clearing applications will be considered in September when the offer of an academic place has been accepted by the applicant, by the appropriate method, and the College student record has been updated by the relevant Admissions Office. Clearing operates from A-level release until early October.d. Vacancies do arise in the residences during September although places will be limited and choice restricted. Candidates applying at this time of year are strongly advised to consider alternative sources of accommodation. The Intercollegiate halls may also have vacancies at this stage and candidates who have not been allocated College or Liberty accommodation may apply to the Central Intercollegiate Waiting List in mid-September; see College/University web pages for details.

3 Prioritisation of applicationsa. All applications will be verified by Accommodation Services in accordance with the application criteria.

b. Intending students who have previously commenced a programme of study at a Higher Education Institution within the UK, lived within the M25 ring road, or are participating in a European exchange programme/attending for part only of the academic session, will have a lower priority than other applicants. This will include applicants who have previously commenced an academic programme at King’s or another London college or UK university including a foundation year and applicants who are transferring to the first or subsequent year of an academic programme at King’s having previously

Allocations policy


undertaken a period of study at King’s or another London college or UK university.Such applicants will not usually be considered for accommodation until other applicants in their application period have been considered and this may not be until the start of session or beyond.

4 Accommodation guaranteea. All full-time undergraduate students who apply on time and whose home address is outside the M25 ring road, and who are entering higher education in the UK for the first time on a programme of two or more years’ duration are guaranteed the offer of one year (not necessarily their first) in either a College, Intercollegiate or nominated residence. b. At times of high demand priority for places in residence is given to first year intending students normally residing overseas with no permanent home address inside the UK, and to applicants with exceptional housing needs. c. The closing date for intending student applications is 30 June.d. A quota of places in the residences is allocated to postgraduate students. At each round of allocations, priority for these places is given to intending international overseas applicants who have not lived or studied in the UK before and to applicants with exceptional housing needs. Intending European Exchange and home postgraduates may apply, although most will secure accommodation in the private rented sector; some places in residence may be available for this group from September onwards.e. Intending applicants with an addresswithin the M25, those who have previously commenced a programme of study at a UK higher education institution, or who change their programme of study and re-apply through Clearing, will not usually be considered until the start of session.f. Currently registered students returning to the College for a subsequent year of study who wish to be considered for accommodation must submit their accommodation preferences each year. Applicants should apply online. The

closing date for applications from current registered students is 15 March. Places at the residences are very limited and most places will be allocated to those with special housing requirements/appointed to positions of responsibility within the residence eg Senior Student.

5 Application proceduresa. Applicants should use the online application facility. The online facility is password controlled and instructions for use are provided on page 21. Eligible applicants who are unable to submit their preferences online may download an application form at www.kcl.ac.uk/accomm and return it to Accommodation Services (see page 32 for contact details) in accordance with the standard application procedures and closing dates. b. Your accommodation record will comprise personal details, called your profile details, your accommodation preferences and additional information relating to your accommodation requirements.c. Your profile details are selected from information provided to the College and stored as part of your main King’s College London student record. This information includes your name, permanent home address, age, details of your academic programme etc. The information stored on your King’s College London student record cannot be amended via Accommodation Services and if

any of your profile details are incorrect you should amend your details via your UCAS Track account or via the Applications Portal; current students may also amend their details via the online services at OneSpace.d. To make an application for accommodation, applicants are asked to submit their accommodation preferences and any additional information which is relevant to their accommodation application. Places in residence are allocated in accordance with agreed quotas according to the type of applicant (eg new postgraduate, new undergraduate etc), the date of application (eg before or after the relevant closing date) and the period of accommodation required (eg standard 40 week agreement, summer extension etc). These quotas are known as application periods. The available application periods are listed on the paper application form or on the drop-down section of the online application and it is important that you select the correct period. If you are not sure which period to select contact Accommodation Services before completing your application.

6 Medical/special circumstancesa. Applicants with any medical or other circumstances which will be relevant to their accommodation should complete a Self Assessment Form which will provide an opportunity to inform Accommodation Services of any special circumstances/disability and any consequent implications for the allocation of accommodation. Any additional information which is supplied in support of the Self Assessment Form must be in English translation and which clearly indicates how College/University accommodation specifically relates to your circumstances. This information is assessed by members of staff at Accommodation Services, often in consultation with staff in the College Health, Student Advice & International Student Support, Counselling and Disability and Dyslexia Support Service, and the outcome notified to the applicant as soon as possible. Sometimes it may be

Allocations policy


beneficial for the applicant to attend an interview to discuss their requirements.b. It may not be possible to reconsider an allocation of accommodation on the basis of a late notification and Self Assessment Forms should be submitted with the accommodation application.c. As far as possible, the College attempts to accommodate students with disabilities in suitable residences. Not all residences will be suitable for all applicants and further advice should be obtained from Accommodation Services/Disability and Dyslexia Support Service. d. Applicants with any special dietary needs should discuss this with Accommodation Services or the Residence Manager in advance; special diets cannot usually be catered for and it may be appropriate to be allocated to any of the self catered residences.e. A copy of the completed Self Assessment Form may be forwarded to other University/College/Liberty Officers as appropriate; this may include staff at the College, Liberty or Intercollegiate residences/Disability and Dyslexia Support Services/Services for Students etc.f. Completion of a Self assessment Form does not guarantee a place in residence. Documentation must be updated in respect of each year of application.

7 Preferencesa. Applicants should rank ALL of the College, Liberty and Intercollegiate residences (described as communities on the online application) in order of preference. There is a limited number of places at each residence and due to overall demand no guarantee of a place at a specific residence, type of residence or type of room may be given. Applicants should not give more than one residence the same ranking nor put down the same residence more than once as this cannot be recorded in the allocation system. Any residences not ranked by the applicant will be left blank and considered during the allocation process to be of equal preference. Applicants will be considered for any places which are available at the time of allocations. b Allocations are undertaken by random computer ballots; allocations to places under a nomination agreement may be undertaken by separate ballot.c. The College encourages integration. All of the residences accept students from all of the College’s academic Schools and applicants may be allocated to any of the available residences.d. Approximately 60 per cent of the College stock is located in apartment/studio style residences and/or in London travel zone one. However, because of high demand, not all applications for this style/location of housing will be successful and applicants who require College housing are encouraged to be flexible and to consider any accommodation offer made.

8 Sharing a rooma. Some first year undergraduate and non-degree students will be required to share a room. At times of high demand any applicant may be considered for shared accommodation.b. There are a number of twin rooms at the Hampstead Residence, most of which are allocated to first year undergraduate or non-degree students. Applicants allocated to a twin room may enquire about taking the room as a single at an enhanced

accommodation charge, usually after the start of session.c. It is not possible for residents to transfer from a twin to a single room once the Residence Agreement has been signed, except in exceptional circumstances.

9 Period of residencea. College accommodation is currently offered for a 40 week period in accordance with the standard Residence Agreement (usually mid-September to the end of June – exact dates for the current year are available at www.kcl.ac.uk/accomm). b. Students who will be registered for less than the standard academic session, may apply to the College residences although accommodation is not guaranteed and a premium rent may be charged. c. Applicants who require accommodation beyond the end of the standard Residence Agreement should apply for an Extended Agreement between January and 15 March; there is no guarantee that accommodation will be available and it may be necessary to move to a different room and/or residence for any period of residence after the end of the standard period of residence. Students who require accommodation for non-academic purposes, during any period which is not covered by the Residence Agreement, should contact Conference & Timetabling Services. During the summer vacation period some facilities may not be available. The Residence Manager will be able to advise which facilities will not be available.d. Applicants for the second and third semesters will be informed of the outcome of their application at the end of the preceding semester. Generally, students applying through a Study Abroad programme will pay fees for the period January to June in one instalment at the start of the second semester. Agreements for less than the standard period of residence are not eligible for ‘notice to vacate’ arrangements.e. Applicants who join the College during the semester may be charged the full residence fee from the commencement

‘I live at Great Dover Street Apartments and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. We share a kitchen between four and there is a games room and PAWs room with computer access. We are a five-minute walk away from Borough tube, so access to the rest of London is easy.’

Allocations policy


of the relevant residence period if a place in residence has been reserved for them from this date, irrespective of their date of arrival.f. Residence Agreements include some of the College vacations. Students offered accommodation for the first semester or the second and third semesters or under an extended Residence Agreement will be invoiced for the relevant period (please see Schedule of Fees for specific dates) including any vacation periods as appropriate.

10 Room allocationsRoom allocations are undertaken by an automated accommodation system taking into consideration a number of different criteria including requests for accommodation in areas of the residence for male/female students; students on programmes with longer teaching requirements etc. To assist in this process some additional information is requested on the application. However, there is no guarantee that a particular type of room will be available and information concerning room numbers etc will not be provided prior to arrival at the Residence.

11 Accommodation offersa. Successful applicants will generally receive one offer of a place in residence and acceptances will be required within very tight deadlines eg within a few days of the issue of the accommodation offer, by return of the signed Residence Agreement and booking fee/deposit. b. Booking fee/deposits must be paid to secure your place. Payment may be made to the Residence Office by cheque or paid by credit/debit card by phone. If no deposit is received the offer may be cancelled.c. Applicants who decline this offer or who miss any deadlines for acceptance of offer may request that their application is reconsidered but will have lower priority than applicants who have not yet received an offer and the application will generally return to the bottom of the waiting list; at times of high demand such applications

may not be reconsidered until after start of session.d. Having moved into a residence, transfer to another type of accommodation or to another residence is normally only possible in exceptional circumstances and subject to payment of an administration fee.e. A resident may be able to arrange a direct swap with a resident at another College/Intercollegiate residence can not be considered until after mid October. Swaps between two King’s residences are permitted seven days after the start of the later Residence Agreement. Swaps between a King’s residence and an Intercollegiate residence can not be considered until after mid October.

12 Addressesa. Communication from Accommodation Services will be via email, where possible to a King’s email address. Intending applicants must provide the College with a valid email address for use prior to their enrolment at the College. Applicants should not use a school email address if this account will be deactivated prior to their arrival at the College. Email communication to students who have already enrolled will usually only be sent to a King’s email address. b. Prior to the start of session any correspondence which is sent by post will be sent to the applicant’s permanent

home address; this will usually be the address which has been provided to the College, initially by the applicant/UCAS/NMAS, and is stored on your King’s student record and included in your accommodation profile details. During the academic session correspondence to students who have already enrolled will usually be sent to the King’s semester time address. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that their address details are accurate and applicants who have applied through UCAS must update their contact details via their UCAS Track account/College Admissions Portal as Admissions offices are unable to amend these details on behalf of applicants. The amended information will automatically be communicated to the College system. After registration at the College, students will be responsible for updating their details via OneSpace, the College portal for students and staff. c. Applicants must ensure that someone is

available to deal with any correspondence

received at their permanent postal/email

address, especially during August and

September when accommodation offers

are sent and the applicant is required to

make a prompt response to accept an

accommodation offer.

d. Within the undergraduate and postgraduate quotas, priority for vacancies is given to intending overseas applicants who have not previously lived or studied in the UK.e. Intending undergraduate applicants who have previously commenced a programme of study at a higher education institution within the UK or those with an address within the M25 or applicants who change their programme of study and re-apply through Clearing, will not usually be considered until the start of the session.

13 Mid-session applicationsa. The mid-session waiting list opens on the second Wednesday of session and applicants should apply using the online application facility or by downloading an application form at www.kcl.ac.uk/accomm

b. During the first semester, priority is given to first year undergraduate and

Allocations policy


non-degree applicants who have not yet received an offer of College, Liberty or Intercollegiate accommodation. Priority for postgraduate vacancies is given to overseas applicants who have not lived or studied in the UK before.c. After Christmas, priority is given to final year undergraduate students approaching their final examinations.d. A student who is offered a place in residence during the first semester is considered to have spent a full academic year in residence.e. If a mid-session application is successful, the applicant will be notified in writing by Accommodation Services and must accept or decline the offer by the due date/time. Mid-session communication will be sent to the relevant King’s email address (see above for details). Mid-session residence agreements commence on the earliest possible date after acceptance, even if this falls within a College vacation period.f. Unsuccessful applications will remain on the waiting list.

14 Accommodation after the first yeara. A small quota of places may be allocated to returning students. Priority is given to applicants with special housing requirements and those who are appointed to a position of responsibility within the residence, eg Senior Student. An undergraduate applicant entering his/her final year of study who was eligible for a place in residence under paragraph 4a (see page 27), and has not previously spent a year in residence may only rely on the guarantee if s/he complies with all relevant application procedures and deadlines. A student who is offered a place in residence in the first semester of an academic year is considered to have spent a year in residence.b. Details of the standard application and allocation procedures are given above. Late applications, received after 15 March, are accepted but are unlikely to be successful except in exceptional circumstances.

c. Notification of provisional offers to currently registered students will be made from late March until start of session. Residence Agreements are usually sent during August/September. Correspondence/documentation will be sent to the King’s email address on the College’s student record system; d. Currently registered students who have lived in an Intercollegiate hall before and who wish to apply for a second consecutive year at the same Hall should apply direct.e. Applications from unsuccessful applicants will remain on the waiting list in case late vacancies occur. Allocations continue until the start of the mid-session waiting list (see point 13 above).f. A place in residence will only be confirmed if a student’s record indicates progress to the next stage of their programme. Students must therefore notify Accommodation Services of any repeat examinations etc.
