How to apply for a room in halls of residence

Joining us in September 2024?

Rooms in halls of residence for Undergraduate offer holders are now fully booked. We would strongly advise offer holders seeking accommodation to look at private rental options in the first instance. If you would like to be added to our enquiry list, email us on accommodation@kingston.ac.uk. However, any availability is likely to be very limited.

Applications have now been sent out to Postgraduate offer holders (provided you received your offer over 48 hours ago).

Once you have received your invitation email, and before you go ahead and choose your room, please note the following:

  1. We recommend you use a computer or laptop rather than a mobile (if using an Apple phone or MacBook you will need to enable the pop ups - Settings > Safari > Block Pop-ups = OFF)
  2. Log on to OSIS using your Kingston ID number and the password previously sent to you in the following format – K1234567@kingston.ac.uk. You cannot change your password on the first time of using OSIS. For any technical difficulties, or to request an initial password change, please raise a ticket with our IT Service Desk or call them on 020 8417 3355.

In the meantime, check out the different halls locations, room types and room costs so that you are ready with your preferences when the portal opens.

Current Kingston University student?

Returning students are not yet able to book a room in halls for the 2024/25 academic year. If any rooms do become available, it will not be until November 2024 at the earliest, but there is no guarantee of availability so please do continue your search for private accommodation.

For further information, read our helpful private accommodation guide.

Adapted accommodation

We have a range of accommodation especially for disabled students. To find a room that suits your needs, please get in touch with our disability advisers before you apply for adapted accommodation.

Cancellation policy

You have the right to cancel your halls contract with the University, providing it's 14 days prior to the move-in date. This means that you can change your mind without any strings attached. 

Please note: When you have moved into your room, your right to cancel does not apply. You will be liable for the halls fees for the entire period of the Licence Agreement.

Any questions?

Please get in touch if you have any queries for the accommodation team at Kingston University.
