What if my application is unsuccessful?
If you apply for a room and Joseph Stones House is full, we will keep a small waiting list in case of vacancies at the last minute.
Usually there are no more than a few withdrawals, so most people will be better booking other places if they haven’t got a room. We have a list of alternative accommodation you can look into.

Should you choose not to come to Leeds Conservatoire and the reason is neither a serious personal issue nor failure to get your grades, then you may be tied in to paying your tenancy for the full year if your room cannot be reallocated.
Should serious personal reasons prevent you from taking up your place please contact us for advice.
Please read carefully the terms of the Unite Students Cancellation Policy which you can access alongside your tenancy documents.
