UCD prioritises CAO students as a cohort that benefit most from the
opportunity to live on campus, to form friendships and avail of the many
on campus facilities. For the 2017-18 academic year there are 1,035
beds allocated to first year CAO students, all of which are on the
Belfield campus. For more information visit our
Allocation Policy page.
In order to put a name on the waiting list prospective students need
to have chosen a course in UCD on their CAO application. On the 10th May
prospective students should visit
www.ucd.ie/residences and follow the on-screen instructions.
CAO application numbers need to be at hand as the application process
cannot be completed without it. This is all that needs to be done until
CAO offers are issued in August. For further information see our
booking information and step by step guide at
www.ucd.ie/residences.
