when applying for university housing. Students apply for accommodation online and instructions about how to
go this will be sent to students in our Study Abroad Handbook after they have been offered admission to the
University and returned acceptance of that offer.
Accommodation options and room and board costs are normally confirmed on the website in March each year.
We make our best efforts to reserve university housing for all incoming study abroad and exchange students
who apply by the published deadline (mid-August for autumn/year students; mid-December for spring
students). However we are unable to guarantee on campus accommodation. Off campus university operated
accommodation is a short bus ride from the university campus, and students receive discounted bus tickets.
We recommend that you apply for accommodation at the earliest possible opportunity.

Students studying at the University of Stirling for the full academic year will receive a 38-week accommodation
rental agreement (September – June).

Non-university accommodation – payment of council tax
Students may either choose to live in non-university accommodation or may be unable to secure university

students on one semester programmes will be liable to pay council tax to the local authority. Students who
are studying at the University of Stirling for the full year will qualify for a council tax exemption. The amount of
council tax is determined by the type of property and the others residing in that property. For more

catering services to a more limited extent. Students who are on year-long programmes should note that their
accommodation contracts will cover the winter break period, but foot and other estimates are not intended to
cover vacation breaks.

Students are not required to move out of their university accommodation during these breaks.
Study abroad students can move into their accommodation on the Saturday prior to the start date of each
semester. This is the recommended arrival date. Orientation activities for new students begin on the Sunday

It is likely that one or all of your modules will have a final exam. The exam timetable is not finalised until after
the mid-semester reading week each semester. For this reason, we recommend that students book their

Application Guide/Instructions
Do you have any criminal convictions? (please tick)
Yes: No:
To help the University reduce the risk of harm or injury to other students, you must declare all relevant criminal
convictions. Relevant criminal convictions are only those convictions for offences against the person, whether
of a violent or sexual nature, convictions involving unlawfully supplying controlled drugs or substances where
the conviction concerns commercial drug dealing or trafficking. Convictions that are spent (as defined by the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974) are not considered to be relevant and you should not reveal them (but
please read below).
If you are applying for a course involving work with children or vulnerable adults. ALL criminal convictions are
considered relevant – including spent sentences and cautions (including verbal cautions) and bind-over orders.
If you are convicted of a relevant offence after you have applied, you must inform us immediately.
Please note that you must check the ‘Yes’ box if you have a conviction, not including:
A motoring offence that you received a fine or similar penalty for; or
A spent sentence (as defined by the UK Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974), except for certain
courses (please contact the Study Abroad Office for more details)
If you have not been convicted of a criminal offence, you must check the ‘No’ box.
If you check the ‘Yes’ box, we will ask you to send more details.
If you are not sure whether to tell us about a previous conviction, you should get more advice from your local
Citizens Advice Bureau or probation service, or from NACRO (National Association for the Care and Settlement
of Offenders). You can also contact a solicitor, but may have to pay for legal advice.
Please note that we will not be able to process this form unless either the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ box is checked and that
this may delay your application. If you are convicted of a criminal offence after you have applied you must
inform the University.
Section 4. English Language Proficiency
Please note that it is necessary, for students whose first language is not English, to demonstrate a measure of
English-language ability by having passed one of a list of recognised tests and examinations. One of the
following qualifications will be acceptable. For students on certain recognised exchange programmes, there
may be an inter-university agreement for the recognition of a student’s English language ability which may
mean that admission is possible without the student having to sit or hold one of the following tests. In this
case, a student’s academic reference would have to attest to their ability to attend classes and complete
assignments in English. Students should check with their study abroad co-ordinator, where applicable.
