Well, you may be pleased to hear that registration is now closed &#8211; so that\u2019s one less thing for us to shout about.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"480\" data-end=\"743\">However, <strong>pre-registering your interest doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ve officially applied for accommodation<\/strong>. No, no, no! Rest assured, you\u2019ll be hearing from us again very soon with more information on what to do when our application pages go live towards the end of January.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"750\" data-end=\"796\">Pre-registered? Gold star \u2b50<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"798\" data-end=\"1120\">If you did the sensible thing and pre-registered your interest, <strong>you\u2019ll receive an email from us next week (13\/01\/26)\u00a0 with everything you need to know about applying<\/strong> &#8211; including details of your <strong data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"1004\">24-hour early access<\/strong> to our accommodation application page. Yes, that\u2019s right &#8211; a whole day before everyone else. Now who feels smart?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1271\">Applying early means you\u2019ll beat the rush and give yourself a better chance of securing one of our <strong data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1247\">1,800 guaranteed rooms<\/strong> for returning students.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1278\" data-end=\"1316\">Didn\u2019t pre-register?

You\u2019ll still be able to apply, just a day later, which means you\u2019ll need to be quick before our returner-allocated rooms are snapped up. With only <strong data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1559\">1,800 rooms<\/strong> set aside for returning students, there\u2019s no time to waste!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1623\" data-end=\"1727\">And because we like you, we\u2019ll still be emailing you next week with further information on how to apply.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"1758\">So what now?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"1836\">That\u2019s it for now &#8211; keep an eye on your inbox for the next update!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pre-registration: done and dusted I\u2019m sure by now you\u2019re fed up with us going on about pre-registering your interest in returning student accommodation for September &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/2026\/01\/09\/so-you-pre-registered-for-accommodation-for-next-year-what-happens-now\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78153,"featured_media":1402,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[312383,223280],"tags":[143731],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1401"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/78153"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1401"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1403,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1401\/revisions\/1403"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/student-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
