We guarantee a room to all of our students on the Study Abroad and Student Exchange programmes in our Wellesley Street Apartments if you apply for your accommodation by the deadlines below.

When to apply for your accommodation

To make sure we have a room available in our Wellesley Street Apartments as part of our guaranteed accommodation*, submit your application by the deadlines below on their accommodation portal. We’ve given them a heads-up to expect your application!

Applications submitted after the dates below will still be considered but rooms may be limited.

*If you choose not to stay in the on-campus accommodation we have a guarantee in place with, AUT will provide suggestions to help you arrange alternative accommodation near campus. Because our campus is in the middle of the Auckland CBD, finding private rental accommodation for a short period of time can be very difficult. We encourage you to use the student accommodation if possible.
