You can apply for University owned accommodation as described above via the Admissions Portal. Please note accommodation application must be submitted by the deadline to ensure you are guaranteed a room in University accommodation.

Once the University of Chichester has received your electronic application, accommodation will be allocated using a randomizes allocation system and you will be notified by e-mail of the accommodation we have reserved for you. If you are successful in getting University-owned and managed accommodation you will have 7 days to pay your non-refundable* £100 booking fee from the day you received your offer email. All booking fees must be paid online.

You will be asked to indicate the type of accommodation you would be happy to accept at University of Chichester in order of preference. While the university will try to meet students’ requests for particular accommodation, we cannot guarantee University-owned accommodation and if you are successful in securing a room the type of accommodation offered may not necessarily be your first choice or on your requested campus. Students will be billed for their housing on a weekly basis.

Meals:

• There are on and off-campus options for housing with or without meal plans, along with shared apartment or single room options. The student halls of residence on campus include both catered and self catered. The campus also includes the Student Union, The Hub Bar, and a safety bus to haul students to and from any location on campus.

At the time you are selecting your study abroad program, schedule an appointment with your primary care provider or specialist to discuss:

• Medication Legality: Some prescription and over-the-counter medications that are legal in the U.S. may be restricted or illegal in other countries. Your provider can help you determine if your medications are permitted in your destination and suggest alternatives if needed.
• Chronic Conditions or Health Concerns: Discuss how your health needs might be affected by travel, climate, time zone changes, or access to care abroad.
• Mental Health Support: If you are currently receiving mental health care, talk with your provider about how to maintain support while abroad.

2. Schedule a Travel Health Consultation (6–8 Weeks Before Departure)
A separate travel health consultation is essential and should be held at least 6–8 weeks before your departure. During this appointment, a travel medicine specialist can:

• Review your destination-specific health risks
• Recommend or administer necessary vaccines
• Provide guidance on food and water safety
• Prescribe medications for travel-related illnesses (e.g., malaria, traveler’s diarrhea)
• Offer tips for managing jet lag, altitude, and other travel-related challenges

These appointments can be held at the UNI Student Health Clinic. For more information on their services, please visit their website.

Accessibility and Study Abroad: Plan Ahead for a Smooth Experience

If you are a student with a disability or accessibility concern—whether related to mobility, learning, mental health, chronic health conditions, or other needs—we encourage you to connect with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) as early as possible, ideally during the program selection process. Early communication allows our team to understand your specific needs and preferences and explore available accommodations in your host country.

Accessibility resources and standards can vary widely by country, so advance planning is essential to help us advocate for your needs and create a positive, inclusive experience abroad.

Reach out to Student Accessibility Services to start a conversation. The sooner we know, the more we can do to support you.

Study abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be challenged by new experiences in new environments and cultures. UNI study abroad programs are designed to prioritize educational opportunities for students. Students are encouraged to embrace the adventure of exploring how housing, meals, and daily routines differ abroad.

Identities Abroad

The Study Abroad Center (SAC) wants to support you as you prepare for your study abroad experience. In addition to course planning and arranging accommodations, it is also important to engage in personal reflection before your departure. There may be certain aspects of your identity that could potentially impact your international experience in ways that you have not faced or thought about previously. As we are here to help guide you, you may want to consider meeting with the SAC staff to discuss this as you plan your abroad experience. Please visit our Identities Abroad page for more information and help.
