Check-In with Mansion Student

During university Clearing, universities advertise courses with spaces still available. Students can contact universities directly, discuss available Clearing courses and add their chosen course through UCAS once accepted.

Because many students secure their place at short notice, there is often increased demand for student accommodation during this period. Booking your Clearing student accommodation early can give you more choice of rooms, locations and move-in dates.

UCAS Clearing usually opens in July, with the busiest period taking place around results day in August. This is when many students begin searching for last-minute student rooms.

If you already know where you’ll be studying, it’s a good idea to secure your accommodation as early as possible to avoid limited availability later in the summer.

Many students choose to book Clearing accommodation before their university place is fully confirmed, especially in popular student cities where rooms can sell out quickly during UCAS Clearing.

At Mansion Student, you can secure your student accommodation while your university application is still being finalised. If you have questions about your booking or need support during the Clearing process, our team will be happy to help explain your options before you book.

Move-in times depend on the property and when your room is ready, but many Clearing rooms are prepared for quick move-ins. Once you’ve secured your room, contact the team to arrange your check-in appointment.

Some student accommodation payment plans require a guarantor, particularly if you choose to pay in instalments or by monthly Direct Debit. If you pay in full or split your rent into two payments, a guarantor is usually not required.

Your tenancy agreement will confirm your payment schedule, instalment dates and any guarantor requirements before you complete your booking.
