How to apply for on-campus accommodation

Once you have been offered a place on one of our full-time courses based at the Cranfield campus, you will be eligible to apply for accommodation. 

With your course offer, you will be sent a login and password for the student web portal (EVE) where you can apply for your preferred accommodation online.

At Cranfield we offer on-campus accommodation on a first come first serve basis. Applications are prioritised as follows:

  • Special consideration for medical reasons*,
  • New students,
  • Current students.

* If you feel your application requires special consideration due to a medical condition, you must make us aware at the time you apply for accommodation. We will ask you to supply a current medical letter from your doctor which explains why your application for on-campus accommodation should be prioritised.
