Can you pick accommodation if notts is insurance?

You can't apply until Notts is your firm choice. There are loads of threads about this in the forum if you search.

I think the way it works is that come results day, if you've found that you're coming to Notts after all, you firm Nottingham and the accommodation portal will open to you in a few hours. Only then can you choose accommodation from whatever rooms are left over or from people who haven't met their offers.

They only just have enough room to accommodate all the firmers, NH can't be expected to hold empty rooms for insurance choices, where there's no guarantee of a tenant come September. And from reading this forum, everyone finds a room someway or another.

When I went to the campus open day a week ago, they told me that you can still apply for accomodation if you have notts as insurance, it's just that you might not get your first or second choice of accomodation - the firm-choicers get priority.

I'm in the same situation with notts as insurance.

So have you picked accomodation from notts? just curious as some posters on here say that it's apparently not possible to pick insurance accommodation for notts?

Hmm there's some conflicting responses on this thread. Im hoping the accommodation guy (or gal?!) Brenlee will help clear things up
the search function doesnt work btw...

You can not apply for accommodation before your final results come out for any insurance university. This is because they obviously have to allocate rooms to those people who've firmed them. You can apply once you have received your results, but there are no guarantees that you'll get your first accommodation choice i.e. you'll be choosing from what's leftover. As it is, most of the catered halls on campus, or at least university park will soon be fully booked so you may have to consider going self-catered. If this is the case, reading the countless threads in this forum on the different options available would be wise.

I'm pretty sure that what me, La Trampa and Dijobla have said is correct

You can't apply for accommodation until you firm Nottingham. Lets say you put Nottingham as your insurance and hypothetically once yyour results have come in August you decide or are forced to go to your insurance which is Nottingham. Then the insurance acceptance will become a firm acceptance so you can apply for accomodation. I'm pretty sure (99%) that you can only apply for accommodation if you have firmed Nottingham.

That's not true, I can for newcastle and edinburgh.

What other information is needed to process applications?

We need to know that you will definitely be studying at the University of Edinburgh before we can offer you accommodation. For new undergraduates (freshers), this confirmation is provided to us directly by UCAS.

If you have an unconditional offer, rooms are allocated once you have firmly accepted the offer. For most students this will be following A level results. You will be sent an email advising that you have been made an accommodation offer which you will need to accept online.

But how come mazza said notts told him on the open day that you can apply for accommodation if notts is your insurance, just that you might not get your first or second choice?

someone on this thread works in accomodation services

we're all certain that you can't apply for University accommodation i.e. halls with an insurance acceptance...that would become a huge mess if students were allowed to do that because there just wouldn't be enough space + reallocation would have to occur for a huge number of students.
