Frequently Asked Questions
I was not offered a room but still really want to live on campus. What are my chances?
If you were not successful in the first round of offers for accommodation – don't despair! We will continue to perform lotteries after the initial offers are accepted and vacancies arise. This will happen on an ongoing basis after the initial offers are made. Please make sure you have set up your profile, created an application and paid the €50 application fee.
I WAS NOT OFFERED A ROOM IN THE LOTTERY. IS THE €50 APPLICATION FEE REFUNDABLE?
If you stay on the waiting list until the end of the process and we are unable to allocate you, the €50 will be refunded once the semester begins. This €50 should be requested by email to [email protected] and you should also upload your bank details to the portal. In all other cases the €50 is a non-refundable administration fee.
I have been awarded a room in the lottery but what if I do not get my course at DCU in the CAO?
In the case that you are not awarded your chosen course of study at DCU and can provide proof of this to us, you are entitled to a full refund of your deposit.
Your room cancellation should be made in writing to [email protected] prior to the move in date in order for this deposit to be refundable.
I have a medical condition and therefore require on-campus accommodation. Do I get preference?
Who will I be sharing with?
What if I change my mind or find alternative accommodation after I move in? Do I get my deposit back?
Once you have accepted an offer, you are required to give 28 days notice and held liable for the rent for these 28 days. Alongside this, a €100 cancellation charge will be deducted from your deposit.
