University Accommodation
Confirm your booking early for guaranteed accommodation
Students are advised to confirm their place at the ISC early. After you confirm your place, you still need to apply for accommodation online. You can only apply for accommodation once you have confirmed your place at the ISC. All students must apply and secure their room via the online application system. If your circumstances prevent you from confirming early, you will still be helped to find suitable accommodation.
