Living on campus is a great way for students to meet new friends and really immerse themselves in student life, but at the same time having the peace of mind that everything they need is within easy reach.

Help And Support With Accommodation

How To Apply

Accommodation applications will open for new students in the spring and we will email all offer holders to let them know when they are open. Early application is recommended and you do not need to have selected Salford as your firm choice before application. There are accessible rooms available on both sites, too. For any queries relating to accommodation with CLV, you can contact the team on salford@clvuk.com. Accommodation applications are made through CLV’s website www.campuslivingvillages.co.uk/salford

Paying For Accommodation

To secure a room, a £200 deposit will need to be paid within seven days of application. A further payment of two weeks’ rent is payable to confirm the room, but this is not required until after results are confirmed in August, and the applicant knows they are definitely coming to Salford.

The typical contract duration for undergraduate students is 42 weeks and this payment of two weeks’ rent is deducted from the total amount required. The remaining 40 weeks’ payment is payable in three termly instalments due in September, February and April – these payments fall in line with the maintenance loan release dates.

In the event that an applicant no longer wants to proceed with their accommodation contract, rooms can be cancelled and payments refunded, provided the cancellation is confirmed in writing to CLV. The cancellation date will be confirmed on our website prior to accommodation bookings going live.

Living Off Campus

Many of our students decide to live off campus and there are loads of other options to find a great place to live. Manchester Student Homes offer a wide range of accommodation options from student halls to apartments and family

If, for whatever reason, a student has not been able to find a place to live, if they’re having problems with their landlord, their house or anything else accommodation-related, our askUS student support team can help. Contact them at askUS@salford.ac.uk. The University does not directly manage any accommodation and we can’t always resolve issues but we may be able to help in different ways and provide advice.
