How the student accommodation application works
Students submit an enquiry with their campus, preferred area, room type, budget and move-in timing. Sta.Res routes the enquiry to the responsible placement team, which assists with suitable listings and the next application steps.
Submit an enquiry
Start by telling Sta.Res your university or campus, preferred area, room type, monthly budget and when you need to move in. You can do this through the apply page or directly from a listing in the marketplace if you already have an account.
Share your accommodation preferences
Your enquiry is routed to the placement team responsible for your campus or area. They review your preferences — room type, budget, location and move-in timing — against available listings to shortlist suitable accommodation.
Get placement support
The placement team follows up with suitable options and guides you through the next steps: confirming a listing, preparing your documents and completing the formal application.
Next application steps
Once you've chosen a listing, the placement team will confirm room availability, the documents required for your application and the move-in timeline. You can track your applications and documents from your Sta.Res account once you're signed up.
FAQs
How long does the application process take?
It depends on the property and how quickly documents are provided, but the placement team follows up on enquiries as they come in and will keep you updated on next steps.
Do I need an account to submit an enquiry?
No — you can submit an accommodation enquiry without an account. Creating an account lets you apply directly from a listing and track your application afterwards.
