Eligibility

These students are accommodated in our Residential Floors for a minimum of two semesters (on our standard 39 week contract)

For Undergraduate International students seeking a one semester contract, please see Gryphon House below.

You can apply before you have received a study offer from the University, but you will need to provide evidence of your enrolment at Monash University prior to moving in and signing a residency agreement.

Selection Criteria

Mannix has a merit-based selection process, with applications assessed against the following criteria:

• Academic merit, and commitment and capability to succeed at university
• Personal character
• Leadership potential
• Community service
• Involvement in cultural, sporting, artistic and other co-curricular activities

Application Process

The application process consists of 4 steps – prepare, apply, interview and outcome. Applications for 2023 open on 2 August 2022.

Step 1: Prepare

In order for your application to be accepted, you will be required to provide the following supporting documentation:

• A profile photo (headshot for identification) in either JPEG or PNG.
• Your most recent school report [PDF]. If you are currently in Year 12, this can be your Year 11 report.
• Your ATAR and high school transcript (if you have completed high school) [PDF]
• All transcripts from any university study you have undertaken, if any [PDF]
• An academic and character reference [download template] [PDF]

Examples of acceptable referees are your School Principal, School Deputy / Vice Principal, School Careers Advisor, School Counsellor or School Teacher.

Your referee can use the above templates linked above or provide a reference on a school or business letterhead. Your referee may prefer to send their reference confidentially to the College which we will happily receive and attach to your application. Referees can email their reference to enquiries.mannix@monash.edu.

Please contact the College if you have any problems providing a reference.

Step 2: Apply

Applications are completed via our Accommodation Portal. The completion of your application will also require payment of the non-refundable application fee of $50. You will receive a confirmation email once you submit your application. If you do not receive an email, please contact the College.

Step 3: Interview

This is your opportunity to get a feel for the College, ask as many questions as you would like to, and for the Principal to understand your interests, ambitions and reasons for wanting to join our College. It’s a warm and friendly conversation and we’re looking forward to having it with you.

To prepare, have a think about:

• what you hope to gain from a collegiate experience at Mannix;
• how you would describe yourself, your interests or hobbies; and
• any questions you have about College life and how we might support you during your university experience.

Interviews can be held in person at the College or via Zoom. Attending in person is often preferred as you can have a College tour too.

Step 4: Outcome

You will be advised of the outcome of your application within 7 days of your interview. You may receive a conditional offer or be placed on the waiting list.

Conditional offers of resident membership are contingent on your undertaking a full-time, on-campus study at a Bachelor degree level or higher at Monash University during your time in residence.

Accepting Your Offer

You must accept your conditional offer within 72 hours of receiving your offer email or the offer will lapse. As part of this you must pay $500 towards your Accommodation Bond which reserves your place at Mannix.

After you accept your conditional offer you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have reserved your place at Mannix. You will also unlock access to The Mannix Insider, an occasional email which will offer you glimpses of the College life that awaits you next year.

To finalise your place at Mannix, we will email you an unconditional offer on Friday, January 13, 2023 which you must accept by 11:59pm Monday, January 16 or the offer will lapse. As part of this you must pay the remaining Accommodation Bond balance of $500. If at this time you are still waiting for an offer from Monash University, let us know via enquiries.mannix@monash.edu and we can extend the offer acceptance deadline for you

Deferring Your Offer

If you choose to defer your Monash University studies you can also defer your Mannix offer. As part of this you must pay $500 towards your Accommodation Bond within 72 hours of receiving your offer email. The balance of your Accommodation Bond will be payable before you commence your residency.

Waitlist

Each year the number of applications for a place at Mannix exceeds available places. You are encouraged to apply for a College place as early as possible. Once we have offered all of our available accommodation places, new applicants will automatically be added to the waitlist. Students on the waitlist are encouraged to remain in contact with the College.

Withdrawal

If you choose to withdraw your place before unconditional offers are sent please let us know so that another student may benefit from being offered your place.

What is the Accommodation Bond?

An Accommodation Bond of $1000 secures and maintains your place at Mannix and you pay it in two instalments:

• Bond deposit of $500. This reserves your place at the time of your conditional offer. It is not refundable should you not take up your offer in 2023.
• Bond balance of $500. This secures your place at the time of your unconditional offer.

For residents, the full Accommodation Bond is refundable at the end of the residency period if all requirements of the Residency Agreement and Conditions of Residency have been met.

Gryphon House Residents enjoy architecturally designed modern apartments and a beautiful shared common space where you can study, relax and socialise. You will also be part of the Mannix community and can connect with our many services, supports and social opportunities.
