Ask the University of Sheffield (2015 Applicants)

Hi, I made a clearing application through the clearing hotline early today and was told that my application would be sent to admissions for consideration. However I have not received any calls or emails to tell me if I can be accepted or not today. Is this normal, would I expect contact tomorrow? Sorry I'm just a bit anxious because I would really like to attend Sheffield!

Hi, my offer for politics was confirmed today and I'll be joining in September! Was just wondering when we hear about where we are living and when we are moving in as both my parents are working on the 20th and the 19th is the only day I can move in?

hi! I'm an international student and I did meet my offer a while ago, I called Admissions last Friday and they told me they would update my Track status today but there haven't been any changes. I'm worried I'll miss accommodation placement or any new information about what to do next and I don't know if I should call the University or wait??

Hi
I asked to defer my Sheffield place yesterday for medical reasons but the website kept coming up with an error message and saying it may not have submitted. I did get an automatic confirmation email though saying it had, could I just check that it did please and ask when I may get a reply?
Thank you!

Edit: I also rang the clearing helpline beforehand but they told me to do it on the website and gave me the link.

Hi Lara

Congratulations on your exam results! I'm really pleased that you're coming to Sheffield in September .

In terms of accommodation and room allocations, it depends on when you applied. If Sheffield was your Firm choice and you applied before 31 July, you should receive your room allocation by the end of business today.

If you haven't applied for accommodation yet (or only applied for accommodation yesterday), then the room allocation will be confirmed at the end of August/early September at the latest.

I'm sorry you can't make the Intro Weekend but fully undertand why. We can arrange for you to collect your key on another day. When you know your room, please email [email protected], including your name, the property you'll be living in, your estimated date and time of arrival and why you're moving in on a different date.

Before you arrive in Sheffield (and if you're on Facebook), we advise that you join the Facebook group for your flat. These have been set up by our Accommodation team and, when you know which room you're in, you can join the right group! All the groups are listed here: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/accommodation/social

You can also join the main Accommodation Facebook group, which is at:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/UniversityofSheffieldaccommodation/

Congrats again on coming to Sheffield. We'll see you in September

From what I understand the uni specifies a day either 19/20 to move in and I can move in on the 19th only. If I asked would that be possible?

Also I applied on the day the application for accommodation opened a few months ago for Endcliffe en suite. What are the chances of me getting that?

Thank you

Just got accepted to study medicine!
I got my accommodation application in before the deadline, do you know when we might hear anything?
Hoping to do an IKEA trip soon, but I was wondering if you knew of anywhere I could find a list of what is actually provided in the accommodation, e.g. do we get a bedside lamp/any bedding/etc.?

Thanks

Hi

Apologies for this error. Please can you send me a private message providing your name, UCAS ID, date of birth, and the course you've applied for and I can look on our system for your application.

Best wishes,

Hi,

Yesterday I managed to get a place at Sheffield's University though clearing, I got a verbal confirmation and and email.

How much time does it take for the Uni to change my status in the UCAS track in order for me to apply for accomodation?

Kind Regards

Hi Axtrix,

You need to accept the offer from Sheffield on Track yourself, then once it is listed Unconditional Firm, you will be able to apply for accommodation.

Hope this helps,
Imogen Butcher

I have added the university on my track and i only get this message
"The university or college is currently considering your application"

Hello,
I've been accepted to study Civil Engineering as an insurance choice (very pleased ) and I'm a little unsure about the accommodation I've chosen since I was only just able to apply this morning. As my department buildings are at the opposite end of campus to Endcliffe I chose the nominated accomodation, only now I've read quite a few reviews where people are unhappy with the facilities and I'm a little worried. Your guarantee says that the two options I was given are standard rather than based on anything though, so I'd just like to know if that means there's no chance of being placed in university owned city accommodation?
Essentially, are the two choices I was provided with definitely all that are left?
Thank you very much!
Noye
