Clearing Offer Holder Hub
Congratulations on your offer!
What's next?
Now that you've received your verbal offer (woo hoo!) you can make your application to the University. There are two ways of doing this depending on whether you've already made an application to any university through UCAS for this year, or if you've not applied through UCAS at all.
I've received a verbal offer - I'm a UCAS applicant
To complete your application through UCAS, you will need to add us as a clearing choice.
Our institution code is S03 and you'll find your course code in your offer email.
Once you've submitted your application, it will be processed within three working days of receipt.
I've received a verbal offer - I've not made a UCAS application this year

Please allow up to five working days for your application to be processed.

Your accommodation
Living in student accommodation is a great way to get settled into university life, meet new people and immerse yourself in the student experience.
In partnership with Campus Living Villages (CLV), we offer accommodation exclusively for University of Salford first-year students at Peel Park Quarter. All accommodation here is en-suite and prices start at £169.50 per week. It’s based on our Peel Park campus so you’re just a stones throw away from the Sports Centre and Students’ Union.
John Lester and Eddie Colman Courts are also managed by Campus Living Villages; prices here start at £137.50 per week.
If you’re interested in a room at one of these halls of residence, you can visit CLV's website to see availability and book a room. Please note that the neither the University nor CLV can take bookings over the phone.
If you have any questions, you can contact:
- Peel Park Quarter: ppq@clvuk.com
- John Lester and Eddie Colman Courts: jlec@clvuk.com
If you're interested in seeing what other accommodation is available in the local area, have a look at our askUS accommodation page.
Commuting
Many of our students choose to commute to the University and with a range of onsite parking and excellent public transport links to each of our campuses – Peel Park, Frederick Road and MediaCity – commuting here couldn’t be easier. We also have several common rooms on campus which have been designed to meet the needs of a commuter student, whether it’s a place to relax in between lectures, grab some food or socialise.
If you live close enough to campus that you’re planning on travelling in, click the link below to learn more about commuting and watch the video below to find out how our student Rachael finds her daily journey to campus.
Finance and funding
Student finance
If you have already applied for your tuition fee and/or maintenance loan, it’s a really simple process to inform the Student Loans Company that you’re coming to Salford. As long as you haven’t registered at another university, you can log into the Student Finance portal and change the institution to the University of Salford. You can find out more guidance on gov.uk's guidance for students going through Clearing. If you’re a part-time applicant, you will need to contact the relevant funding body directly, rather than using the portal.
If you haven’t applied for your tuition fee and maintenance loans yet, please do this as soon as possible so your funding is in place before you start your studies. Both loans are provided by the Student Loans Company and applications are made to Student Finance England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
If you have any questions or need some help, please contact us on enquiries@salford.ac.uk.
Inspire Support Scheme
The Inspire support scheme gives all new undergraduate students £150 credit to spend in a dedicated online store if they are starting a foundation year or year one of an undergraduate degree that is based at the University. Through the online store, you’ll be able to buy learning resources, such as textbooks, electronics or stationery, to help give you the best possible start to your studies here at Salford.
The scheme will run annually, so you’ll receive £150 of credit for each year of your undergraduate degree if you’re based on campus. If you’re from a low-income background, living in an area where participation with higher education is low, you may also be eligible to receive an additional £350 of credits, bringing the total to £500 each year – this will be based on your personal circumstances and is assessed once you register as a student here in September.
Once you have registered as a student at the University of Salford, you'll be given access to your Inspire account and the online shop. For the full terms and conditions and frequently asked questions, see the Inspire website.
Wellbeing and Support
We understand that starting university is an exciting yet stressful time. At the University of Salford, there is support available to you whenever you need it through our dedicated student support service, askUS.
askUS have a range of student support teams in place, including disability and learner support, wellbeing and counselling, and diversity and faith. The team can also advise you on a variety of areas, from finance to accommodation to employment.
If you need support, it’s really important to let us know as soon as possible so that we can help you – to speak to a member of the team for more information, please contact askUS.
Students can also find support from Student Minds, the UK’s student mental health charity. See their 'transitions' resource to help guide you through the process of moving and settling into life at university.
A Tale of Two Cities
University life isn't just about lectures and labs - the city you live in also shapes how you learn and the person you become.
Salford is part of Greater Manchester, a thriving, diverse city-region in the north-west of England. Our main campus is just a 20 minute walk from Manchester city centre, so our students get to enjoy the history, culture, bars, and restaurants of two fantastic cities.
