Applications for the first semester, 2025 intake will be accepted in the month of April 2024. Year 12 students are encouraged to apply early in the year. We recommend submitting applications before 31 October 2024, as availability may change. Financial aid is subject to availability, so apply early. Newman also accepts mid-year entry applications.
Offers of Residency
At your interview, the process and timing of selection will be discussed with you. Conditional offers can be made prior to University offer rounds, based on admission into university, and only for exceptional candidates attending the University of Melbourne. Otherwise offers are made when a student accepts a place at university and inline with VTAC offer rounds. Students who are currently enrolled at, or receive an early offer from their university, may also be made an early offer of a place from the College.
