Accommodation guarantee
Victoria University is pleased to offer guaranteed accommodation to new and continuing full-time domestic and international students. This offer is in partnership with UniLodge, our accommodation provider.
UniLodge has accommodation in:
- Footscray (right opposite to our Footscray Park Campus and close to our Footscray Nicholson Campus)
- Melbourne CBD (close to our city campuses)
- many other locations across Melbourne.
If UniLodge Victoria University (Footscray) is full, the accommodation guarantee applies to other UniLodge properties, including the new UniLodge Melbourne CBD which is a 5-minute walk from our City Campus.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the offer of guaranteed accommodation, you must be:
- a new or continuing full-time domestic or international student, at either Victoria University or our TAFE division
- commencing study in 2024 (and have accepted your offer to study), or re-enrolling in Semester 2 2024 on a full-time basis.
Please note:
- the guarantee does not continue beyond the initial lease term.
- applications are welcome prior to Semester 1 and Semester 2 (dates outlined in the Apply section).
Other students
If you don't meet the above criteria, we still encourage you to apply for accommodation at UniLodge. You'll be offered accommodation once all accommodation guarantee students have been placed in accommodation.
You don't qualify for the guaranteed accommodation if you are:
- studying part time
- studying a non-award course
- studying at a different university (not VU or Victoria University Polytechnic).
If you're not eligible for guaranteed accommodation or prefer other accommodation, you can look at our other housing & accommodation options.
