How to apply for a room in halls of residence

Joining us in September 2025?

When the accommodation portal opens in Spring 2025, all offer holders who have firmly accepted their offer to study at Kingston University will receive an email with an invitation to apply for a room in our halls of residence. You will receive the invitation email via the email address you used on your university application.

In the meantime, do check out the different halls locations and room types so that you are ready with your preferences when the portal opens.

Once you have received your invitation email, and before you go ahead and choose your room, please note the following:

  1. We recommend you use a computer or laptop rather than a mobile (if using an Apple phone or MacBook you will need to enable the pop ups - Settings > Safari > Block Pop-ups = OFF)
  2. Log on to OSIS using your Kingston ID number and the password previously sent to you in the following format – K1234567@kingston.ac.uk. You cannot change your password on the first time of using OSIS. For any technical difficulties, or to request an initial password change, please raise a ticket with our IT Service Desk or call them on 020 8417 3355.

Current Kingston University students

Returning students are not yet able to request a room in halls for the 2025/26 academic year. If any rooms do become available, it will not be until October 2025 at the earliest, but there is no guarantee of availability so please do continue your search for private accommodation.

For further information, read our helpful private accommodation guide.

Adapted accommodation

We have a range of accommodation especially for disabled students. To find a room that suits your needs, please get in touch with our disability advisers before you apply for adapted accommodation.

Cancellation policy

You have the right to cancel your halls contract with the University, providing it's 14 days prior to the move-in date. This means that you can change your mind without any strings attached. 

Please note: When you have moved into your room, your right to cancel does not apply. You will be liable for the halls fees for the entire period of the Licence Agreement.

Please get in touch if you have any queries for the accommodation team at Kingston University.
