Application Form
The booking form will appear on the Accommodation Home page on the "Booking Links" icon when we next open.
The online form of booking is the only one accepted. Paper, email, personal callers, telephone etc. applications will not be processed.
Please ensure you use a laptop or desktop only for booking on the day as the website is not compatible with a phone or tablet.
The format of the application form can be found below:
How the Application form will work on the day of Booking
On the day of booking the application form opens at TBC(IST) on a first come first served basis. The first group of students to click on the form and based on a time and date stamp generated by the system (the time stamp will be in milliseconds as demand is high when it opens), will be given automatic access to the form for booking.
- Not all students who gain automatic access to the application form are guaranteed a room.
- All other students who click on the link will be placed in a Queuing system behind the first group of bookers. For example if you are number 1 on the queue you are potentially the 501st person to click on the link (as judged by the booking engine).
- Should any of the first group of students not complete the booking, the first students in the Queue will get access to the booking form and so on until all the rooms are booked.
- The chances of booking a room from the Queue are low, especially if you are a higher number.
I am in the Queue, how will I know when all the rooms are booked?
Once all the rooms are booked a message will appear on the Queuing screen on your browser to advise all rooms are fully booked.
Important: It may be the case that this message does not appear on your screen if your browser settings do not allow the message to update or if pop up's are blocked on your internet browser. If this is the case or you are unsure whether to remain in the queue, please check on the Accommodation Office homepage HERE where we will publish all messages. Please do not call the Accommodation Office during booking as we will be unable to answer.
How will I know if my application was successful?
Once you receive access to the application form and choose a room, you will be given 15 minutes to make payment of the refundable booking fee of €500. On completion of the payment, a message will appear to advise that the payment was successful. Where a successful payment is made a transaction number will appear on your screen and a confirmation email will be generated to the email address you put on the booking form. Please note that when the booking is complete the timer may still keep counting down. However once a successful payment has been made and a transaction number received the accommodation is secure. Should you wish to confirm your booking, please log into your self-service accommodation account the login details of which will be in your confirmation email.
Important - It is very important to input your email address correctly in order to receive a confirmation email. To ensure that the confirmation email does not go into spam add residence.office@mu.ie to your contacts.
Please note we will not be available by telephone until the afternoon at 4.00pm on the day of booking. However ASK will be open and you may email residence.office@mu.ie if you have a query.
Due to Irish Government restrictions relating to travel into Ireland you may need to restrict your movements for your first 14 days after your arrival into ireland. Here is a link to the government website for details -https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/75d92-covid-19-travel-advice/.
Maynooth University Student Residences offers accommodation so that you can comply with you restricted movement obgligations. To engage with this service, start by sending us an expression of interest. There are limited places and we will not be able to offer rooms to all thsoe interested. Those who are able to arrive on the days prescribed in the expression of interest will be offered rooms first.
Expression of Interest for a Restricted Movement Room on Campus for 14 days due to travel outside of Ireland
If you are travelling to Campus from outside of Ireland or you have traveled outside of Ireland in the 14 days prior to your proposed arrival on Campus you may need to Restrict Your Movements for 14 days in line with Government restrictions. Restricted Movement Rooms will incur an additional cost which is payable in full when you book (no payments with the expression of interest form). Refunds can only be offered to those cancelling within 7 days of arrival date.
Please let us know if you wish to avail of a Restricted Movement Room on Campus by filling the Expression of Interest Form.
- This service is available to all students - not just those who have booked a term time room in Student Residences. However we may not have sufficient rooms for everyone who needs the service. The best way for us to offer the service to as many students as possible will be done by phased arrivals on prescribed dates. So you may be offered a room at a date well in advance of the academic year (from as early as 23 August up to 14 September on specified dates). The form allows you to express an interest in a specific arrival slot. Once we know how many students need the Restricted Movements Rooms for that date we will offer the rooms by email booking invitation.
- Once a room is booked the arrival date cannot be changed only cancelled (which must be done at least 7 days in advance of your arrival to get a refund). You would, in that case, need to fill another expression of interest form for the new arrival slot and we will offer that arrival time to you provided a room is available for that date.
- Late arrivals of more than 12hrs will not be admitted as that would put students already checked-in at risk and it would not be possible for you to complete your obligations for Restricted Movements within the room availability dates. You may be directed to a local hotel for the 14 days.
- For your convenience we may be able to offer this service (to those who have a room booked on campus for the academic year/semester) in your term time room, provided the other residents are arriving at the same time as you, with the same requirements for restricted movement or where the other residents are not arriving until after your 14 days has expired. We will be able to let you know in advance of your arrival if we can provide this for you. Priority in the apartment will be given to as many people as possible so if 4 residents can arrive together the fifth person may be refused if they need to arrive on a different date. The offer we make will be final and please do not ask for exceptions.
- Those booking Restricted Movement Rooms on Campus (which are not pre-booked term time rooms) should be aware that the room is available only for 14 days and must be vacated promptly on the date specified for your departure by 10am to allow for cleaning and preparation for the next student's arrival. Please therefore make sure you have your term time accommodation arranged for the correct date (your departure date from the Restricted Movement Room) or make a booking with MCCA (front.desk@mu.ie) as an interim solution. (Please note MCCA have asked us to let you know that they cannot provide rooms unless 14 days "restricted movement" obligations can be evidenced as completed).
Before arrival please ensure that you have read and are aware of the current guidelines for Covid 19 - https://www2.hse.ie/coronavirus/?source=banner-www
Costs for Restricted Movements Rooms:
€TBC for 14 nights
€TBC for 14 nights in your own term time room - this is the cost of two weeks of accommodation fees (additioanl cost for a bed pack €30).
* Additional costs for catering will also apply.
Please note that we can only offer term time rooms for restricted movement obligations if we can arrange for all residents to arrive at the same time (within 24hrs of eachother) or if you arrive early enough to have completed the 14 days before the others arrive. You will not have any control over the other residents' arrival dates and we cannot share their information with you. This will be adhered to very strictly because of the risks involved in relation to Covid19 - please do not ask for exceptions.
Fees will be payable in advance in full by bank card to the accommodation account online while booking. Please note we will not give out the university bank details for bank to bank or wire transfers. Cash, cheques and invoices are not supported. Please take account of these terms before you book.
