How to Apply

Apply now for Semester 1, 2019 entry. Applications for Semester 2,2018 are now closed.

Ormond College accepts applications from undergraduate students enrolled at The University of Melbourne and the Victorian College of the Arts.

You apply to The University of Melbourne separately from applying to Ormond College. You must have a university offer to receive an offer to go to college but neither offer is a guarantee of the other. You apply to Ormond with the expectation that you will get into university.

Some colleges accept students attending other universities, to find out more about which colleges accept non-University of Melbourne please check out the FAQs on the Intercollegiate website.

Study Abroad and Exchange Students

Students applying to study at the University of Melbourne through Study Abroad and Exchange must submit their college application directly to the University’s Melbourne Global Mobility office.
