    Accommodation Application Aberdeen - Student ID (8 DIGITS) ???
    Hey, I am trying to apply for accommodation(late, I know) and I am supposed to enter my student ID card number consisting (8 digits). I know that, because I am holding a conditional offer from the university, my application won't be taken into consideration until the offer is made unconditional, but I should be able to send the application. (at least that's what i understood) What is the student ID number and how can I get one ?

    Hey Gabriela, the number is printed on one of the letters you should have received (mine says it was sent on May 15th). if you´ve kept the letters you should have no problem finding it, it´s in the top right corner of the letter, below their own address. if not try calling the student recruitment office, they should be of help

    Are you a masters student? I only got my unconditional offer yesterday (for MSc Applied Marine and Fisheries Ecology) despite sending results in June. They seem to be pretty slow at sending them out :/ There was still accommodation available as of last night though so I wouldn't worry too much.

    Nope, I am an undegraduate starting first year (from Romania).. I got my unconditional offer about half an hour ago and I applied for accommodation, but the only accommodation left was new carnegie court hall, the rest of the options were marked as "now full".
    Yeah, they were a bit slow with my response too and I panicked a bit.. I'm steppin' on unknown territory here so I'm a bit nervous about this whole new experience and the fact that they delayed the answer didn't help ) .

    I really hope this is not the case, i've been unable to access the application service.. apparently my Student ID is wrong. Have contacted them but not heard back yet. No way I can afford new carnegie court

    Don't worry, they should get back to you in 1 day or so, but try sendind them another e-mail today in which you mention you need it to apply for accommodation.(if they haven't answered yet)
    Something like that happened to me too, the student ID number they gave me by mail worked with the app for accommodation, but when I tried to make the eRegistration, it said the number is incorrect.
    And about the options available for accommodation, I was dissapointed too when I saw only carnegie court hall left, it's a nice place in hilldead but pricey for self-catered.. When you make the app, there is a section in which you can put additional info, and you can moention there you can't afford it. There has to be a solution..

    I'm in the same situation and I think Carnegie Court is too expensive! I'm looking at getting a flatshare with other first year students, anyone interested?

    I can't see why how any other places would become available apart from NCC
