How to apply

Everything you need to know to start your application.

Ready to apply but not sure where to start? Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it.

Your journey to securing a spot in UNSW's owned and operated colleges or apartments begins with our convenient online resident portal. We highly advise early application, even before your high school or university results are finalised, because our available spaces fill up quickly.

Applications for T2 2024 is now open but at very limited vacancies. Visit the online resident portal and start your application today. Registering a new account is easy; simply fill in the registration form. It helps to have your details ready. Returning residents can log in using their existing account. Please make sure to update your details before starting your application.

Once you’re logged in to the portal, click the ‘New Application’ page menu tab. Here you will be able to select the entry term and will be prompted to view our terms and conditions before starting your application. The application form breaks down each step of the process as you go.

We encourage you to nominate up to four accommodation options in your order of preference. Every effort is made to give you your first preference, but placement depends on availability and can’t be guaranteed. Please make sure you only select preferences you’re willing to accept. Please note that International House does not accept foundation year or first-year students directly from high school.
