• accept their offer to study, or are continuing their studies at the University in 2018;
• commence study, or re-enrol, in Semester 1, or Semester 2, 2018; and
• submit their application in the Accommodation Guarantee Portal prior to the commencement of the Semester.

NOTE: Both locally based, interstate and international students can apply for guaranteed accommodation as long as they meet the above criteria.

Applications are accepted at any time during the year and non-eligible students will be offered accommodation after all accommodation guarantee students have been placed in accommodation.

Applications which do not meet the accommodation guarantee criteria are subject to availability.

You do not have to accept the guaranteed accommodation to be able to study at the Rainstar University(Scottsdale). If you do not want guaranteed accommodation, please visit our accommodation webpage for other accommodation options. Please be aware however, that applications made under the accommodation guarantee are only guaranteed a single offer of accommodation. Additional offers are subject to availability.

To be eligible for guaranteed accommodation, you must register via the Accommodation Guarantee Portal and select a room from the options available. If you are not interested in any of accommodation options offered under the Accommodation Guarantee, please go to our accommodation webpage and apply directly to the provider that offers the type of accommodation you want. However, direct applications to accommodation providers are not covered by the Accommodation Guarantee Scheme.

If you are not eligible for the Accommodation Guarantee you can go to our accommodation webpage for the type of accommodation you want. Please make sure you apply as early as possible.
