Starting in January

January starters

There will be rooms available in halls for our January starters, across all halls depending on where vacancies have become available. When applying you should tell us what your room preference is, rather than a preferred hall and we will try to allocate you a room based on that criteria. Please be aware that there is less availability of rooms in January as most students have already arrived in September.

If you are starting a course at the University of Derby in January, you will usually be able to apply for a room in halls from November. If you have a firm offer of a place at the University of Derby, the Admissions team will contact you with your student ID number. Once you have this and January halls applications are open, you can apply online for a room in halls.

• When you apply you will have to pay a £50 deposit to secure your booking. This will be deducted from your first term’s rent
• When you apply, you’ll be able to indicate what room type you’d prefer
• You’ll also be able to select a preference of either a single-gender or mixed-gender flat
• If you don’t get the right grades to get in at Derby, you’ll get your £50 refunded in full
• We will do our best to meet your requirements and allocate you your preferred room type but this will depend on availability
• Once you’ve applied, we’ll be in touch by email with your offer of accommodation. To accept the offer, complete and return the relevant paperwork to us by email
• Make sure you read our terms and conditions before you apply

Nearer your time of arrival, you will need to book an arrival slot, via your Student Living account. When you arrive you will need to go straight to your hall at the date and time of your arrival slot and you will need to ensure that you have finished moving in by the end of your slot so others can move in after you. Watch this page for further updates.

We look forward to welcoming you in January.
