Applying for Campus Accommodation 2013-2014
River Reception Office
Making an application to live in on-campus accommodation in 2013 – 2014
Please read the following information carefully before completing your application. (Link to application form is at the end of this page).
Demand for places in on-campus accommodation far exceeds the number of places available, so places are offered following a random selection process. Your application ensures you are included in the draws which allocate places. Making an application does not guarantee you a place.
All information regarding your application will be communicated to you to the email address which you supply on the application form. Please ensure that you check this email address regularly.
Living on campus:
- Please read carefully the information on the different types of apartments;
- All apartments are non-smoking. Therefore smoking is not permitted in the living areas or bedrooms of the apartments, or in the hallways of the buildings. If you smoke, you will have to do so in the open air outside the building.
- Irish speaking apartment – a limited number of places are available in an Irish speaking apartment (River apartments only). Your proficiency in the language and your willingness to use Irish as the daily language in the apartment will be assessed before you are considered for a place in the Irish speaking apartments. Details will be sent by email to any applicant who indicates a preference for living in an Irish speaking apartment. You are encouraged to submit an application before end March 2013.
- We regret that the on-campus accommodation is not a suitable environment for families and children, and so no children can be accommodated.
CAO / PAC / Student Number:
This is a mandatory field. Please ensure that you include this number on your application. Otherwise your application may not be processed.
Applicant category:
It is essential that you choose the correct category.
New student to NUIM (or SPCM) – you should select this category only if you are a prospective first year student, and are planning to commence your studies in NUIM in September 2013 having applied through the CAO.
40% of places in on-campus accommodation are reserved for students in this category. Entrance Scholars and Sports Scholars are included in this category.
Applications can be submitted until midnight on Thursday 15th August 2013 (the day after the Leaving Certificate results are released).
Continuing student – you should select this category if you were a registered student of NUIM or SPCM in 2012/2013 on any programme or year, and you plan to continue to be a student in 2013/2014.
