Guide to Housing 2017/18

Welcome At the University of Winchester we realise that where you live is an important factor in deciding where to study. Our aim is to help you through the process of securing good quality housing for the duration of your course, by offering University managed accommodation and providing information and advice on accommodation with us and in the Winchester Community. In this brochure we set out the options available to you to help you decide what might be right for you, not just for your first year but for the duration of your study.

Quality Assurance The University is signed up to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Student Accommodation Codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a code of practice for high standard management of residential accommodation. As part of our adherence to the code, we go over and above the standard legal obligations in the management of our accommodation. For more information about the code please visit: www.thesac.org.uk For properties off campus in the Private Sector, any property managed or advertised by the University is accredited by the Winchester City Council Shared Housing Accreditation Scheme. This means that these properties meet a set of standards and have been inspected by a qualified Environmental Health Officer. For more information about the scheme please visit: www.winchester.gov.uk/housing/councilaccreditationscheme

Guide to Housing 2017/18 Postgraduate students

Part-time students

There will be some accommodation available for postgraduate students. Rooms are allocated on a first come, first served basis. We aim to house postgraduate students together in mature areas (over 24yrs) however this is dependent on the number of applications and accommodation areas available.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sorry that we can not accommodate part-time students. You will need to secure accommodation in the Private Sector and Student Housing Services will be pleased to provide information and advice to assist you.

Please take note of our Allocation policy in relation to the possibility of being housed amongst Undergraduate students and also our Private Sector housing advice.

Couples and students with families There are a small number of one and two bedroom self-contained self-catered Flats in our accommodation portfolio. Students in this category, who fulfil the guarantee criteria and have a child/ children or are a couple, can apply for one of these. Please see more information in our Allocation policy further on page 4.

Please see the off campus information on page 6.

Insurance and Clearing full-time first year undergraduate students We run a Housing Waiting List for any full-time first year applicants who go firm with the University after the housing guarantee deadline date, and will always endeavour to offer University managed accommodation to these students. Whilst accommodation cannot be guaranteed, it may be possible to arrange alternative or additional accommodation and we will also provide information and advice to help you secure accommodation in the Private Sector.

Guide to Housing 2017/18

How to Apply and Allocation Policy Full-time students who have selected Winchester as their firm first choice University and intend to start study in September 2017 will be able to apply for accommodation in February 2017. The exact date will be posted on our webpages: www.winchester.ac.uk/housing To make an application you must go to the University Homepage and search for the ‘Accommodation Information' pages. These pages have information on the accommodation available and the link to the online application system. Advice and information is provided on each page of the application and the Student Housing Services team are on hand to answer any queries or solve any problems with this process. When making an application for accommodation students have the chance to list their preference choices in order of which accommodation they would most like to secure. We encourage all students to apply as early as possible to have the best chance of securing a preference choice. We allocate on a ‘first come first served’ basis in date order and we aim to offer students their preference choices. However, if a student’s preference choice isn’t available (even if they apply within the deadline date) there is the possibility of being offered the next available room type which can include our off campus accommodation, accommodation with shared bathroom facilities, and accommodation which is older and a lower cost when compared to our most recent development at Burma Road for example. Accommodation offers are sent by email during the summer months until the start of the academic year in September. The offer email will give you details of how to accept or decline the offer via the online system you used to make the application.

International applicants: International students are included in the ‘first come first served’ process and we endeavour to house you throughout our entire portfolio of accommodation. Additional requirement applicants: Allocation of rooms may be based on needs as much as preference choices, and is subject to availability of suitable rooms. Evidence of medical needs is required and you will need to discuss them with both Student Housing Services and the Learning Diversity Team in Student Services (+44 (0) 1962 827341). Mature applicants: We endeavour to assign accommodation areas across our entire portfolio to mature applicants and allocate these students together. We consider mature applicants to be 24yrs of age or above. Please note that once the accommodation areas for mature students are full we offer the next available room which may be with residents aged 18 or above. Postgraduate applicants: There will be a proportion of accommodation across our entire portfolio for Postgraduate applicants and we will endeavour to allocate students together in the mature areas (over 24yrs). Please note that once these rooms are full we may not be able to accommodate you and will provide information and advice to help you secure accommodation in the Private Sector. Self-contained Flats (for families or couples): Students in this category can apply for a Flat at the point of application as there is a Flat option in the online system. Applying for a Flat means you have no other preference choices. We will normally allocate to families first then couples and apply the ‘first come first served’ approach where possible. We do apply a level of needs-based assessment to these applications and all allocations are subject to availability of a suitable Flat.

Guide to Housing 2017/18

Housing Costs All residence fees (known as Occupation Fees for 2016-17) quoted are headline rates for the 2016-17 academic year and will be subject to an increase for 2017-18.

Our University managed accommodation costs range from £3,150 - £8,750 for full licence lengths (from 28 weeks to 50 weeks) which per week ranges from approx. £79 - £183. These costs cover our complete portfolio of accommodation.

Please visit the website (www.winchester.ac.uk/housing) where residence fees for 2017-18 will be published before the housing application system opens for that year.

A pro rata amount of these fees would be payable by any student starting their licence agreement after the start of the academic year.

Self-catered accommodation (including self-contained flats for families and couples) Self-catered Licence agreements are for 37 to 50 weeks, which includes full residence fees over the Christmas and Easter vacations, meaning you do not have to move out or remove your belongings during the licence period.
