While all efforts are made to allocate students to their preferred residence, this may not always be the case.

Allocation is based on the number of available beds after returning students have been placed, along with ensuring demographics in each residence to achieve a balanced community from metropolitan, regional, rural, remote and international locations. 

The residence you have been allocated to will show in your direct entry early offer which is released on 4 September 2023.
