On Campus Accommodation

For up-to-date information on accommodation please see www.ucd.ie/residences .

UCD has on-campus accommodation for over 2,500 students in both halls of residence and three, four, five and six-bedroom self-catering apartments. These are spread across five locations, with 300 places located on the nearby Blackrock Campus. However, places are limited and we regret that we are unable to guarantee accommodation to all international students.

All prices are available at http://www.ucd.ie/residences/studentpages/fees/ 

The residential fee (rent) is per person for the whole academic year, payable in two equal instalments. A deposit is payable at the time of booking. This is refundable at the end of the academic year less insurance costs, and the cost of any damage/breakages. All residences will also have a utility charge with the first instalment. It should also be noted that electricity is not included in the rent and must be paid for separately as a utility charge.

Students wishing to stay in Glenomena or Proby Halls for 50 weeks pay in three instalments.

Please note that should a student vacate their residence during the occupancy period they will forfeit their deposit and rent.

Room bookings are made online or through your SIS web account.

UCD has set aside a large proportion of on-campus rooms for international students. International students must check on availability first with individual co-ordinators before booking accommodation online. Instructions may also be sent out by your co-ordinator.
