We calculate the cost of AUT accommodation over the full period of a semester or year. Accommodation fees include internet and power at all of our locations: Te Āhuru Mayoral Drive Student Accommodation, Wellesley Student Apartments and Akoranga Student Village.
To acknowledge the impact of COVID-19 on our students, AUT will absorb 2022's rent increase of $16.00 per week (for a standard room). This means if you are an AUT student, you’ll pay $375 per week instead of $391.00. A $150 application fee and $120 (per semester) Residential Life programme fee apply. Find full fee details and how to apply on the UniLodge website.
Other fees may apply. For example, there is a 'semester-only fee' if you only book for one semester – check the 'Other fees' section carefully.
These other fees apply:
You can pay your accommodation fees by weekly instalment or as a one-off payment. You'll find full details about payment options in the application process.
When you pay by weekly instalment there is an administration fee of $250 each semester.
You must pay your total accommodation fees by the end of your payment date.
Deposit = 4 weeks board fees + Residential Life fee + instalment plan fee
The exact deposit amount is calculated when you return your Offer of Accommodation, and you need to pay it to secure your room.
