How to book accommodation
The process of booking depends on what type of accommodation and provider you need. We’ve put together some useful information on how to book university, UPP at NTU or private accommodation.
University and UPP at NTU accommodation
Bookings for students starting from September 2025 are now open for bookings.
To book you’ll need your NTU ID number, which will have been sent to you in your offer communications from us.
You must also have:
- confirmed NTU as your first choice on UCAS Hub,
- have accepted your offer on our applicant portal if you applied direct,
- or be a returning NTU student.
We do not require a deposit to reserve university or UPP at NTU accommodation.
Quick steps to book
- Explore the range of student accommodation options we have available and make a shortlist of your favourites
- If you're a new student, you'll need to create your NTU password before you can book. Please allow 48 hours after you have accepted your offer on the UCAS Hub / NTU applicant portal to create your password
- Log in to the NTU accommodation portal and follow the instructions
- Select ‘Accommodation booking’ and follow the steps on screen
- Choose from the available halls, and select your room type
- After confirming your selection, you'll be asked to sign a contract and set up a payment plan
- You'll receive an email to confirm your booking.
If your course offer is still being processed by our Admissions team, you will be asked to complete these steps once your course place has been confirmed.

Useful information about accommodation
What to consider when booking private accommodation
If you are interested in private accommodation, you must book directly with that private provider. Your contract will be with the company or individual that manages that building.
NTU recommends several private providers for purpose-built student accommodation and there are lots of options to choose from. We partner with Unipol who provide accommodation across Nottingham.
Medical and accessible rooms
Our accessibility in halls page offers guidance if you have a serious health issue or disability that makes it difficult for you to live in halls.
We recommend that students with mobility, hearing, or visual impairments, or multiple conditions contact us before booking a room. We might be able to make adaptations and/or adjustments to help you find a room that suits your specific needs.
