Application for Residence at St Mark's

Application for a residential place  is a straight-forward, three stage process. St Mark's College only accepts students who are currently enrolled or intend to enrol at the University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia or Flinders University.

The Selection Committee seeks individuals who are committed to their academic achievement and who will contribute in diverse ways to the College residential environment.

To help you make an informed decision about your place of residence while at university, it is important that you take the time to research your accommodation options and, if possible, visit St Mark's prior to lodging your application. This is best done during the universities' Open Days which are usually held in August. If you are unable to visit St Mark's on Open Day, you are most welcome to contact the College and arrange a tour during working hours.

Application Form

This can be either completed online or by downloading and completing an application form. Applications are normally received between August and November for first semester in 2010 (February - July). Due to unprecedented demand for places, as of 24 November 2009, any applications received may not be processed because of demand exceeding supply.

You will need to send four passport-sized photographs and two references (one academic and one personal) together with the application fee of $38.50. Your application will not be complete until all these have been recieved.

Interview

After receipt of the completed application, the selection committee will determine whether the applicant is invited for interview. It is most advantageous to both the student and the College if the student can personally attend the interview. An interview is often not possible for students travelling large distances interstate and overseas and in these circumstances, a telephone interview will be conducted. All interviewed applicants will be discussed by the Selection Committee and students will consequently be either offered a place (that will need to be confirmed once a university offer is accepted in January) or placed on a waiting list that is reviewed on a monthly basis.
