Details of the available options are provided in the information pack for new students. Accommodation tariffs are kept as low as possible to make the residences available to most students. The accommodation fee includes room, electricity and heating. Residents are obliged to commit to a minimum of one semester's accommodation by signing the accommodation agreement. The semester fee is payable in advance.
Australian students are able to access a loan scheme if prepayment causes hardship.
Other financial services are available from the Students Association or the Commonwealth Bank. To be eligible for on-campus accommodation, you must be a full time student of the University of Canberra. Priority is given to interstate students. The Accommodation Office will be advised of this interest and will send these students a Residential Accommodation Information Pack for new students including an accommodation application form. Applications open in September for students new to residences.
