You can apply for accommodation by visiting our website and clicking the link apply now:  

You must first create an account and then login. If you have previously registered for an accommodation account, this will still be active.

Allocations will commence from A-Level Results Day, 13 August 2026 onwards.

Allocations are a manual process for the team and do take time to process. We would ask for your patience at this time. We would also advise to keep a check on your emails, including your junk/spam folder.

All staff in the Accommodation Service at Queen’s do their best to answer questions and explain the process for room allocations, as outlined in our policies.  All staff deserve to be treated with respect as they undertake their work.  Any abusive behaviour towards our staff members is not acceptable.  We reserve the right to take appropriate action under student conduct regulations if any abuse is experienced by our staff teams while they are trying to help you via email, on telephone calls or in person.

Please refer to our Important / Key Dates section for arrival dates based on accommodation location (please refer to your offer of accommodation to check your arrival dates as there can be some variations to arrival dates due to refurbishment works).

The Accommodation Team will contact students prior to the arrivals period with details on how to book their arrival slot.

You will have limited time from when the offer email is sent to accept your offer of accommodation and pay a £300 refundable deposit. After this is paid you will be bound by a fixed-term licence agreement and the Conditions of Occupancy. 

Yes, please contact the allocations team to arrange an appointment at allocations@qub.ac.uk (Subject to availability).

It is not possible to view your bedroom prior to arrival. You can view 360 degree videos and photos on our property pages.

To support Queen’s Nursing and Midwifery students who are required to spend time on placement, a limited number of places are available on a short-term rental basis (6-8 weeks) as well as on a longer contract length of 40 weeks. The short-term places for 6-8 week contracts will be allocated on a first come first serve basis, by date of application for accommodation. All other contracts will be allocated in line with the allocation policy.

We do not offer group bookings for groups of friends who want to live together in accommodation.

Yes, we aim to refund deposits as quickly as possible, but please note this process might take several weeks due to individual room inspections and the high number of queries. This is subject to no damages found following a room inspection after check out. All fees must be paid upon check out.

We process allocations dependent on the preferences students give on their application. You can have 6 preferences on your application and we would try our best to offer you one of these but this not guaranteed.

Students attending another ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ-based higher education institution (Stranmillis University College, St. Mary’s University College, Ulster University, and Dundalk Institute) will only be considered at the discretion of the Accommodation Service and if all other guaranteed and priority applicants have been offered.

All accommodation has laundry facilities available (additional charge).

Yes, Queen's Sport off-peak membership is offered to students living in accommodation.

If you have a disability and require specific accommodation, you will need to contact the allocations team (allocations@qub.ac.uk) who will arrange a meeting with you. Please also ensure that you fill out the relevant section on your application with any information we may need to consider when allocating you to a room. 

Parking at Elms BT9

We encourage you to leave your car at home, but we understand that sometimes it's necessary to bring one. Elms BT9 has a limited number of parking spaces available for residents.

Resident Parking Permits

You can apply for a parking permit as part of your accommodation application. These permits are available for a fixed fee, which depends on the length of your contract; please see the prices below for specific rates. When applying, you must clearly explain why you need a parking permit. Please note that parking permits are not guaranteed and are issued based on availability and priority need. Priority is given to students with registered disabilities, carers, etc. The fee for car parking permits is due in full, and is non-refundable.

Pay-Per-Use Car Park

There's also a Pay-Per-Use car park at Elms BT9, available for shorter stays and for visitors. This car park costs £1.50 per day, or each time you enter and exit. Parking tickets are payable at the Treehouse reception by debit or credit card. You'll need to register your vehicle details at Elms BT9 reception, and you'll be given a car park disc to display on your windscreen. Please note that lost parking tickets are subject to a £7.00 charge. You can access the Elms BT9 site for up to 30 minutes for free to collect or deliver items to your room.

Parking Prices

Please note that there is a 10mph speed limit at Elms BT9 and speed restriction ramps in place - there are a number of families living onsite with young children and it is paramount that these restrictions are adhered to.

We do not have parking facilities in BT1/BT2/off site houses/nominated accommodation partners.

Guest Procedure 2025-26

Please note that no overnight guests are permitted in University accommodation until Monday 22 September 2025.

Accepting or declining the offer: Students have a limited window, that will be stipulated in your offer email, in which to accept your offer of accommodation and pay the £300 deposit.

Applicants will not be notified of expired offers. If accommodation is subsequently required, previous room offers will not be reinstated, and a new application must be made; subsequent offers are not guaranteed.

PLEASE NOTE:  If the offer of accommodation is declined, the student will forfeit the guarantee and the offer of accommodation will be withdrawn. If accommodation is subsequently required, a new application must be made, a subsequent offer is not guaranteed.

The online application remains open throughout the summer and applications are considered, subject to availability, on a first-come, first-served basis. An applicant’s year of study and proximity to Queen’s will be taken into consideration to determine priority.
