On-Campus Accommodation

University owned and operated accommodation is available on all Monash campuses in Australia, except Parkville, and in Malaysia and South Africa.

Monash Abroad has a special arrangement to guarantee on-campus accommodation on the Clayton campus for exchange and study abroad students, even if you study at Monash for only one semester.  Accommodation at the Clayton campus is guaranteed for students commencing in Monash semester 1 (February) who complete the on-campus accommodation section of the application form and whose forms are received by Monash Abroad by the due date.

Accommodation at the Clayton campus is usually available for all exchange and study abroad students commencing in Monash semester 2 (July) but is not guaranteed.

Accommodation at the other campuses is subject to availability but is usually available for all exchange and study abroad students commencing in either semester, except at Caulfield where on-campus accommodation is limited in both semesters.

At other campuses exchange and study abroad students are given preference but accommodation cannot be guaranteed.

All Monash halls of residence provide single bedrooms with shared bathrooms, kitchens and lounge rooms.

All accommodation is co-ed (but all students have single rooms).  The only exception is a small group of group of single sex apartments at the Caulfield but this cannot be guaranteed.

Students who want to be accommodated together may request this but it is Monash policy to have a mix of students in each hall of residence to achieve a balance of Australian and international students, and junior and senior students.  Students are advised of their room allocation before arrival.

How to apply

1. Students must complete the accommodation section of the Monash Abroad application, provide payment of the non-refundable application fee, and make sure your application reaches Monash Abroad by the due date.
2. Students will receive a separate offer of accommodation from Monash Residential Services and must accept this by the due date, generally about 6 weeks before the start of each semester.
3. The application fee is non-refundable.

Note:  Exchange and study abroad students must apply to Monash Abroad for on-campus accommodation and must not apply directly to Monash Residential Services.

Cost

In order to make the accommodation guarantee possible, exchange and study abroad students are charged for a minimum stay of 19 weeks per semester. No refund is possible for students who stay less than 19 weeks.  This period begins shortly before the Monash Abroad orientation and finishes just before the end of the exam period. Students can extend their stay if they have late exams by applying directly to Monash Residential Services.

Students may be able to extend their stay before or after semester, subject to the availability of rooms.  Rooms are usually available before the start of semester 1 and after the end of semester 2 through the summer holiday period, but not between semesters 1 and 2.  Students who want to extend their stay need to apply directly to Monash Residential Services and will be charged a nightly rate.

Room charges include all utilities, except at Caulfield where there is a separate charge for electricity.  Telephone and internet useage must be paid separately.
