Registration Process

Can I change my preferences ?

Yes. You can update your application up to 2 times while applications are still open. Just email UA to update your details. Preference changes will not be accepted after the close of applications and preferences will not be changed more than twice. PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR PREFERENCES CAREFULLY!

How are residents chosen ?

We select residents from large numbers of applications. We look for a balance of backgrounds, trying to ensure a diverse community. You are asked to provide your top 4 preferences for accommodation. If you miss out on your 1st preference, we will try and place you in your 2nd or 3rd. We cannot promise that students will get placed in a residence of their preference, so students should be willing to accept any ANU approved accommodation that they are offered.

When will I know if I am accepted ?

  • New domestic students will be sent an offer of accommodation after they have received an academic offer to study at ANU. For Semester 1, 2009 this will be from the 21st of January.
  • New international undergraduate students will be sent an offer of accommodation after they have accepted their academic offer.
  • This means that most international students will need to pay their course fee deposit before they can confirm their accommodation.
  • Accommodation offers will begin from mid November and will be sent via email to students as they accept their academic offers.

It is very important for international students to accept their academic offers early. This usually involves paying your course fee deposit. The earlier you accept your academic offer, the earlier we can confirm your accommodation. Students who accept their academic offer after the close of applications may not be guaranteed accommodation.

Special Circumstances

If you have any special requirements due to your health, disability or personal circumstances, it would be helpful to include this information with your application form. This will enable us to plan to meet your requirements, eg. easy disability access to all Hall facilities. You can also discuss your circumstances with the management of the Hall of your choice.
