Demand for places at Union College is strong, so we recommend applications as early in the year as possible. We have four offer rounds across the year, and you are welcome to apply for future years, as there is no cut-off date! So, do not wait until you are offered a place at university.

You are welcome to remain at college during the holiday periods of the academic year and no, there are no additional costs. Your fees include mid-semester break! 

Don’t stress, packed lunches and late dinners can be arranged to fit in with your class timetable (on weekdays across the semester).

Please supply your own bedding, inclusive of mattress protector, pillows, and towels. You will receive a full pack list closer to your move-in date.

Friends and family are welcome to visit you, however, due to Fire Safety and Child Protection legislation, they are not permitted to stay the night. Meal vouchers (lunch/dinner) can be purchased so that you can share a meal with your guest.

After you submit your application, a member of our team will reach out to you to confirm your interview time. The interview is a conversation geared towards understanding what you’re seeking out of the Union College experience and whether we are the right fit for you. Whilst we take your accolades and achievements into consideration, our biggest drive is identifying individuals who display the right cultural and personal fit for our community. 

We welcome applicants from students across all Brisbane-based universities. 

The contract you sign upon accepting an offer at Union commits you to the full academic year. If you are considering an early move-out, please contact us to gain a better understanding of the process. 

Should you choose to defer your university position, we may carry your offer of accommodation into the following year. Please contact us to discuss your options and the process.

We may have availability mid-year, so we recommend you contact us for up-to-date information.
