How to apply for accommodation
New postgraduate students are those who have accepted an offer to study at the University of St Andrews but who have not yet matriculated/enrolled for the first time. Please be aware that entrant Postgradaute Students are not guaranteed accommodation.
To apply for University accommodation for 2013-2014:
An online application form will be available via isaint from 1 April to 30 June
Tips for completing the form
Please ensure that you read about the different options available on our Residences page and the 2012-2013 prices on our Residence fees 2012-2013 page. Residence fees for 2013-2014 will not be available until February 2013.
What will happen next?
Student Accommodation Services do not pre-allocate accommodation to students. Allocation begins in July for students whose offer of a place is Unconditional and who have confirmed their acceptance of this place with Admissions. Thereafter, allocations continue throughout the summer.
Once accommodation has been allocated you will receive a link by email directing you to your isaint offer, which needs a reply within 10 days. As we have experienced problems with some email addresses not accepting the automated offer we advise you to check isaint from July onwards and once you have accepted your unconditional offer. Accommodation contracts are for a fixed period of the full academic session unless you are only studying here for one semester.
Temporary contracts
A temporary contract for university accommodation may be available for visiting postgraduate students. For more information, please see the temporary contracts page.
