UCC Campus Accommodation offers full academic year accommodation across six different complexes. These complexes range in price, location and size but all exist close to UCC main campus. A great option for students getting to know the area or looking to be around their peers, applications for campus accommodation are put through a lottery system with successful applicants being selected at random. The lottery opens for 1 month every year, with further details on this year’s application being available below.

Please note our office does not manage or control the UCC Campus Accommodation Lottery, as this is managed by Campus Accommodation directly.
