The Intercollegiate Pool
How it works
When completing your application, you order the Colleges from 1 – 10. Rest assured – whichever College offers you a place, the experience of a lifetime awaits.
What you can expect
If your College of first preference is unable to offer you a place for whatever reason, we will pass your application on to the next highest available College on your preference list that has places available at that time for consideration via the ‘Intercollegiate Pool’. This usually occurs over December-January for Semester 1 Entry.
In the event that there is no availability in any College, we will work closely with the University of Melbourne to provide you with information about alternative accommodation options that are provided by the university if necessary.
If you change your mind
You can change your College first preference at any time by contacting us. You can also rearrange your remaining preferences at the Intercollegiate Pool stage, if applicable. If at any stage you wish to withdraw your application, please let us know here .
