* Annual fee is based on 30 weeks.

  • Accommodation is charged on a weekly basis if required during orientation or vacation periods. The majority of residents vacate and return home during vacation periods.
  • Residents are provided with accommodation on the basis that they remain in residence for at least a semester (15 weeks) under the terms and conditions outlined in the Rules of Residency (PDF* 686 KB).

Resident Student Club (RSC) fees

Each College has a Residential Student Club (RSC) which is run by students elected by residents. Each semester there is a fee of AUD75 applicable to all residents. This fee is collected by the Colleges Administration Office and forwarded to the RSC. Fees are used to fund Residential College events and intercollegiate activities.

Insurance

As the University cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to your belongings, it is advised that you take out an 'all risks' insurance policy on your personal belongings and property.

Fee reduction

Fee reduction procedures for resident accommodation, as outlined in paragraph 6.4 of the Rules of Residency, can apply in the following circumstances:

  • a 'room only' fee of AUD115 per week when residents are away from Residential Colleges for more than a week for authorised academic programmes, illness or extenuating circumstances
  • a 5% discount applies where fees are paid annually in advance by the due date and the student remains in residence for the academic year
  • a 10% discount applies to a second sibling while both siblings are in residence.
