Students whose course does not run for the duration of semesters 1 and 2 will not be
guaranteed accommodation. Those coming for one semester can apply to the
accommodation office by completing a paper application form and will be placed on a
waiting list. After all full academic year applicants (who fit the criteria outlined in section
one) have been accommodated, applications for one semester will be considered. Any
available rooms will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Students on certain courses may be given priority over other one semester students, if
requested by the University's Recruitment and Admissions department or if there is a
separate contractual agreement and it has been agreed with the Accommodation Office
in advance.
Those who cannot be accommodated by the University can request information about
alternative accommodation options in Edinburgh.
