Who Can Apply For Bradford College Accommodation?
Any full-time Bradford College student may apply for accommodation. Students aged under 18 at the start of their course should apply for Homestay accommodation. Students aged over 18 can apply for a place in Halls of Residence or Homestay. Rooms are allocated with priority given to:
- Students in their first year
- Final year students (third or fourth year)
- International students in any year
When to Apply for the 2011 - 2012 Academic Year - Timescales
Applications for accommodation in 2011 - 2012 are currently being accepted.
All students should apply as early as possible once you have applied for a place on a course at Bradford College. Once we have received your application, you will be sent an offer of accommodation which must be accepted within the timescales stated in the offer (usually within 14 days). If you do not accept your first offer within these timescales, Bradford College cannot guarantee that you will be subsequently offered accommodation, and you will need to re-apply.
Higher Education Students
Students can apply for accommodation at any time and will be made an offer of accommodation within 14 days. Should you fail to meet the entry requirements for your course please inform the Accommodation Office before the end of August 2011 and you will be released from your contract and your booking fee will be refunded. If you decide not to come to Bradford you should also let us know before the end of August 2011, however in these circumstances your booking fee will not be refunded.
Further Education Students
Once you have accepted an offer of a place on a course from Bradford College, you can apply for Accommodation and will be made an offer within 14 days.
If you will be aged under 18 at the commencement of your course, please contact Accommodation Services as early as possible so that we can discuss your accommodation requirements. It is customary for students who are under 18 when they start their course to stay in Homestay Accommodation. Please note that under English law it is not possible for a person aged under 18 to sign a Tenancy or License Agreement for accommodation. If a student is aged under 18 Bradford College and its accommodation partners require a parent or responsible person over the age of 18 to act as a guarantor and sign the Tenancy or License Agreement. This means that the guarantor must pay any sums agreed under the Tenancy or License Agreement if the student fails to do so.
Erasmus Students
There are a limited number of rooms available in Halls for Erasmus students on a single semester basis. Accommodation Services will endeavour to place you in your first choice for accommodation, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Making a Booking
Applications for Accommodation will be processed from February 2011. You will be sent a hall allocation and booking information by email, which you must complete within the stated time-scales to confirm your room.
To book a room at Laisteridge Lane Halls you must do the following:
- Pay a non-refundable booking fee of £250. This converts to a deposit once you move into the accommodation.
- Pay the full rent for the standard 42 week contract in advance
- If you would prefer to pay rent in three instalments, you will be required to provide details of a UK based guarantor who will also sign your tenancy agreements
Please note – A Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding document that commits you to paying rent for the period set out in the agreement. Do not sign for a room unless you are certain that Bradford College is your first choice.
