Information for applicants

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PREFERENCES:

• Your preferences are EQUALLY ranked, and cannot be distinguished in order of highest to lowest preference
• You can only choose one single room and one twin room per hall
• Once the form is submitted, you cannot make any changes to it. Ensure you are happy with your preferences before submitting the application

Please follow these simple steps to complete the activation and application process:

1. Go to AccHub (you can access this via the link sent in your Invitation to Apply email)
2. Click on the ACTIVATE link
3. Activate your account by following the required steps given on the ‘Activate Account’ pages. You will be required to enter your College ID (CID) which will be included on any documentation you have received from the College and which you will find in your letter
4. Once you have set your password and been given your username you will need to return to AccHub
5. To begin your application, make sure you select the 2025-26 Academic year from the drop down option above "Your Application" (see image below)
6. Complete your application for accommodation

1. Twin rooms - If you are starting College at the same time as someone you know and would like to share a room, you can request this as part of the application. You will both need to select the same room type and hall in at least one of your preferences, and you will each need to submit the other student's name and CID number in the additional information section. We can only allocate twin rooms to those of the same gender. 
2. Under 18 - Anyone under 18 will not be able to apply for twin rooms or rooms in Beit Hall due to licencing restrictions. 
3. 51-week licence - We are trialing 51-week licences for select rooms in Kemp Porter. To be eligible, you must select a room in Kemp Porter among your room preferences and choose the 51-week licence option. 
   
   We have proposed a £5 per week discount for students opting for a 51-week licence. Once confirmed, this discount will be applied as a credit to the Accommodation session 4 invoice. 

   Please note: If you select this option and are allocated a 51-week licence, you will be committing to this choice and will not be able to change to a shorter contract mid-way through the year.

After you have applied, the next time you will hear from us will be in early September, if you are successful in confirming a place of study at Imperial.   

At this time we begin our allocation process. We will offer you a place in halls and you will have a limited timeframe stated within the email in which to accept this offer.
