Accommodation applications

We are currently working on upgrading our accommodation system.  Applications will be open soon.

Transferring to another residence

Return to current accommodation (if you are only under contract for first semester)

Applying for second semester

Are you still looking for first semester accommodation?  We can place your name on a Wait list if you email uni.accom@anu.edu.au and include your full name, address, mobile number and course of study - to assist with identifying your request please enter Wait List in the subject line of your email. 

Wait list places will be very limited so you should still continue to seek your own ongoing accommodation arrangements.

Frequently asked questions

Q.  Accommodation applications have now closed but I have not put in an application, what should I do?

A.  You should start looking at other accommodation options, you can seek assistance through our Housing Online and Renting pages.  You should not arrive without having secured accommodation.

Q.  I have received an offer but it is not to the Residence I selected as my preference, what should I do?

A.  To be guaranteed an offer you should accept the offer you have been given.  If you did not receive an offer to your preferred residence this is because there are no vacancies available.  You were given the next available vacancy and as advised through the application process costs vary amongst Residences.

Q.  Why are the costs for the residence I have been offered higher then my selected preference?

A.  Costs vary amongst residences for various reasons (eg. catered or non-catered, older style or new style, single studio or multi-share), although you may have selected a cheaper option due to demand you may be offered another Residence where costs are higher.  We understand that whilst finances are an issue to be considered but to guarantee you accommodation we can only send out offers for the vacancies we have.

Q.  Will my offer lapse if I don't accept it within 48 hours?

A.  Yes, offers are only valid for 48 hours to ensure all applicants are offered accommodation and equal opportunity for acceptance.  You are no longer guaranteed accommodation if your offer lapses.

Q.  I didn't check my email and my offer has lapsed, can I get a new offer?

A.  As you are no longer guaranteed accommodation you will only be made another offer after all other applicants have been offered accommodation if there are available beds.  You should seek alternative accommodation off campus.

Q.  I am not covered by the Accommodation Guarantee, will I be made an offer?

A.  There are limited places available for non guaranteed applicants, you should also seek alternative accommodation off campus.  Please do not arrive without having made housing arrangements.

Q.  When will my accommodation offer be made?

A.  Accommodation offers are being made now, you should check your email regularly to check for your offer.

Q.  I am going to be away when offers are coming out, what should I do?

A.  You should provide someone, who you trust, with access to your email or the Accommodation Portal so they can check for offers daily and act on your behalf.
