We recognise that new beginnings can sometimes present unexpected challenges and perhaps navigating through your new life is harder than expected. As supporting the welfare and comfort of our community remains our priority, we are delighted to offer you the opportunity to apply for an interhall transfer for Semester 2.
To be eligible for an interhall transfer, you must be a current enrolled ANU student, not have debt on your accommodation account, not be in breach of your Occupancy Agreement, have completed the Rights, Relationships, and Respect (RRR) module, and have signed a full-year contract.
An application link will be sent to current residents via email on Monday 15 April 2024. Please use this link. Do not apply through the accommodation portal.
To be eligible for an interhall transfer, you must meet the following criteria:
All current residents will receive an email on 14 April 2025 with detailed instructions and a unique link to apply.
Please note:
This process helps us maintain the integrity of the application system and ensures that only current residents can apply.
If you cannot locate the email or experience any issues accessing the application, please contact us — we're here to help.
You will not be required to pay an application fee. However, if your application to transfer is successful, you will need to pay the room move fee and the departure cleaning fee. For more information on costs associated with your transfer, you can refer to the Schedule of Fees.
If you are moving from one ANU residence to another ANU residence, your room deposit will be transferred automatically. If you are transferring to or from an affiliate residence, such as Burgman College, you will receive a refund of your room deposit (if eligible). Following the refund, you will be required to pay the deposit to your new residence.
The contracts will start on 12 July 2025. Your new residence will provide you with a specific timeframe when you will be required to move closer to the contract start date. Depending on the availability and operational circumstances of each residence, you may have the option to move before 12 July 2025.
No, you will not need to pay the 3% uplift. Your weekly tariff will be the basic weekly tariff as listed on the Residential Fee Summary.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your application, you will have the opportunity to request a review of the decision. More information about how to request a review will be included in your outcome letter.
If you are finding it difficult to settle into your residence despite engaging with the wellbeing team and receiving appropriate support, you may be eligible to apply for an Out-of-session Transfer.
If your application for an interhall transfer or out-of-session transfer is not successful, you will remain in your current residence until the end of your contract. During this time, we encourage you to continue working with your residential wellbeing team, who can provide support and help you explore ways to improve your experience.
Unfortunately, this deadline cannot be extended as our team requires sufficient time to process and review each application. If you are experiencing extenuating circumstances that prevented you from applying before the deadline, we encourage you to reach out to your residence.
You are allowed to submit only one interhall transfer application. Submitting more than one application may result in your applications being voided and could jeopardise your chances of transferring residences.
Please do not apply for a Semester 2 application term. The only way to transfer residences is via the interhall transfer process. Submitting a Semester 2 application may result in your applications being voided and could jeopardise your chances of transferring residences.
Occasionally, our accommodation portal may experience technical issues during peak application periods. If you experience such issues, please contact Accommodation Services for support. We are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. You can reach us by emailing, calling us at 02 6125 1100, or visiting us in person at Fulton Muir Building at 95 Daley Road.
To access the correct application form, you must use the specific link provided in the email sent to you when applications opened. If you try to access the portal through other links or directly, the application may not appear.
This process helps us maintain the integrity of the application system and ensures that only current residents can apply.
If you’re having trouble finding the link or accessing the application, please reach out to us — we’re happy to help.
You can pay your acceptance fees by visiting your new residence’s reception or by calling them during their opening hours. Unfortunately, this payment cannot be made online.
Once you have accepted your offer, opting out may not be possible as your spot could be allocated to another transfer resident or a new student starting in Semester 2. We highly advise you to carefully consider your decision before accepting the offer, as we cannot guarantee the availability of your previous spot.
A range of factors were taken into consideration when assessing your application, including, but not limited to, room availability, your contributions to and involvement in your residence, conduct and compliance, rental payment history, and other relevant considerations.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your application, you can request a review of the decision by emailing director.red@anu.edu.au by Wednesday 28 May, 5pm and outlining the reasons for your request and providing any additional information or documentation you wish to be considered.
Absolutely! We encourage you to tour the residence you are considering transferring to before applying. You can schedule a tour with our team by emailing or phoning us on 02 6125 1100.
All outcomes will be released on 22 May 2025. You will be notified via the email registered to your application account, so please be sure to monitor your inbox carefully. If your application is successful, you will be given a brief period to accept your offer and pay acceptance fees. Find more about our deadlines under ‘Key dates’.
