Subject: ACCOMMODATION GUARANTEE TO INCOMING STUDENTS FROM OUTSIDE CANBERRA REGION – ADVICE TO CURRENT HALL RESIDENTS
The University has decided to take an important step in ensuring that new undergraduates from outside Canberra can experience a full university life at the ANU. This is a strategic initiative worthy of the national university.
As from the 2005 intake, new full-time undergraduate students coming from outside the Canberra region will be offered a place in a University Hall, Affiliated College or other University-approved accommodation for their initial year at ANU, provided they:
• enrol in a full-time undergraduate degree at the ANU
• are not resident in the local ACT area (not living in the following post codes: 0200, 2600-2612, 2614-2620, 2900-2914)
• accept an academic offer from the ANU within the stipulated timeframe
• accept the accommodation offer within the stipulated timeframe
• agree to, and abide by, the terms of the Room Agreement for the particular Hall.
Halls have, in the past, first offered places to continuing residents, and then filled vacancies with new residents, many of whom were first-years. In recent times, this has meant that some undergraduates new to Canberra have been left without suitable accommodation for some days, weeks, and even months, ultimately not having any opportunity to experience Hall life. The University believes that, given enough notice and support, students already in Canberra are better placed than incoming students to take up off-campus accommodation.
This decision may impact on some existing residents of the University-owned Halls (Bruce, Burton & Garran, Fenner, Toad, and Ursula), who wish to return in 2005. There will be fewer places in the Halls for returnees, although this is unlikely to be large in number. Current estimates suggest that across all Halls there will be a few percent fewer offers to continuing residents in 2005 than in 2004, if all targets are realised. It is not possible to predict this number with any accuracy until early December. However, the University will continue to update the estimate of the number of new undergraduate students likely to be offered a place as data become available, and a percentage of the remaining places will be offered to returnees in October. Returning students will be asked in September to indicate their desire to be considered for return to Hall. The selection of returning students will be based upon the following general principles:
• Maintaining a balance between the ages, countries of origin, and genders of residents; and
• Maintaining a balance between areas of study, and between postgraduate and undergraduate students.
This approach will ensure that the Halls maintain balanced communities.
Some additional vacancies in the Halls for continuing residents may become available in late January, once the actual demand from new students is met. Academic offers through UAC will be published on 19th January. Every effort will be made to notify returning students who are not to be offered a place in Hall as soon as possible after this date if they need to source alternative accommodation. University Accommodation Services will directly assist these students to find alternative accommodation. The private market in Canberra is presently expanding its options.
Graduate House and University House policies will be unaffected by this change as they accommodate only postgraduate students.
Heads of each Hall will individually advise you about the processes for taking your queries and concerns.
