Applying to stay in Ely

Students who are thinking about the possibility of applying to stay in Ely are welcome to visit the centre by arrangement (with their family if they would like). They will be shown around the centre and introduced to other university student residents.

Students intending to apply for a place during the summer months should visit our Summer Residents tab.

Application procedure

1. Fill out and return an application form (which you may download below).
2. Students are called for an interview, based on the application forms received. This can be arranged at a time that suits both parties. The purpose of the interview is for us to meet the prospective resident in person and for him to meet us.
3. Applicants will be notified of the result of their application within 7 days of their interview.

Ely offers sought-after quality accommodation as well as many other benefits. Potential residents are encouraged to apply early.

Taking up residence

The residence opens for the first term of the academic year (Michaelmas term) in September. Students who have been allocated a place should ring or write to indicate when it would suit them to take up residence.

The student residence closes from 24 December until 2 January each year.#

Re-applying

Students are admitted for one academic year at a time, but applications for further periods are readily considered. Applications from students who are already in university doing undergraduate or postgraduate work are particularly welcome. You may download the re-application form below.
