For Domestic Students

Once UAC offers have been released, those offered a place at ANU will receive confirmation of their accommodation offer and information on how to accept it.

Domestic students must accept their offer of accommodation within 5 workings days otherwise the offer will lapse.

The guarantee will only apply to students receiving main round offers on the 21st of January 2009 and new students that have deferred studies from a previous semester.

For International Students

Academic offers for International students are made throughout the year, the majority from November to January or April to June.

International students will be offered accommodation AFTER they ACCEPT their academic offer to study at ANU.

This means that most International students will be offered accommodation after they have paid their course fee deposit. The guarantee will only apply to students that have accepted their academic offer before the close of applications (21st January 2009).

International students must accept their offer of accommodation within ten working days otherwise the offer will lapse.

What if I'm not covered by the Guarantee?

Postgraduate and Higher Degree Research students are welcome to apply for accommodation and there are a number of suitable locations.

Availability cannot be guaranteed.

Postgraduate and Higher Degree Research students are also welcome to apply for ANU-owned rental properties, which are located close to the campus. These apartments provide staging accommodation while you seek long-term housing.

Existing students and students with late round offers are also welcome to apply for on campus accommodation although a place cannot be guaranteed.

University Accommodation Services can help students, including students requiring family accommodation, look for alternatives such as renting a property, shared housing or boarding.
