When to apply for your accommodation
To make sure we have a room available in the Te Āhuru Mayoral Drive Student Accommodation as part of our guaranteed accommodation*, please submit your application by the deadlines below. We’ve given them a heads-up to expect your application!
Applications submitted after the dates below will not be guaranteed a room at Mayoral Drive, and students may need to apply to our North Campus accommodation, Akoranga Student Village.
Semester 1 (February to June)
Apply by 5 December of the previous year.
Semester 2 (July to November)
Apply by 31 May.
*If you choose not to stay in the guaranteed on-campus accommodation, AUT has useful information on finding private accommodation. Because our campus is in the middle of the Auckland CBD, finding private rental accommodation for a short period can be very difficult. We encourage you to use the student accommodation if possible.
