Applying for accommodation for 2027
Live on campus in 2027
Whether you are thinking about studying at ANU or have already accepted an offer, you can apply now to live on campus in 2027.
If you have already received and accepted an offer of accommodation as an early offer applicant, you do not need to apply for accommodation again.
We guarantee accommodation on campus to all eligible ANU students. That means you will receive a guaranteed offer for one of our residences. While we can’t guarantee an offer for your preferred residence, there will always be a place for you in our residential community.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Do I have to pay to apply for accommodation?
No, there’s no fee to submit your ANU accommodation application, and the process takes only about 10 minutes. Apply early to help us process your offer quickly.
Do I need to have an offer to ANU to apply for accommodation?
No, you don’t need an ANU offer to apply for accommodation! However, you will need an ANU offer to receive an accommodation offer from us.
Do I need visa to receive an offer of accommodation?
No, your visa doesn’t need to be finalised to receive an accommodation offer. We encourage you to organise your accommodation as early as possible to secure your spot on campus. If your visa isn’t processed by your contract start date, we’ll work with you to adjust your contract to Semester 2 or refund your acceptance fees.
Am I guaranteed to receive an offer for my first preference?
We aim to match students with their preferred residences, but we can’t guarantee it. If you receive an offer for a residence outside your preferences, you can add your name to our waitlist, and we’ll update waitlisted students within two weeks.
Can I see the accommodation?
Absolutely! Book a private tour with our team or check out our virtual tours on each of our residence pages.
What is included in the cost?
Our fees cover utilities, internet, catered meals (for catered residences), and cleaning for shared apartments. Residents also enjoy free events, high-quality facilities (like music rooms and common areas), 24/7 security, and academic and well-being support.
Are there female-only residences?
All our residences are mixed-gender, but you can request to be placed in same-gender floors or apartments in your application.
Can I get single semester contract only?
Yes, single-semester contracts are available for students graduating mid-year or on exchange programs. You can request this during your application. If you’ve already been issued a full-year contract, contact us with documentation, and we’ll update it for you.
