If you wish to bring furniture, remember that anything you bring will need to be taken home during the summer holidays and when you leave. There is no storage for the university’s furniture and it cannot be moved into corridors or common spaces. Any furniture you supply will need to fit in your room.

You’ll also need to submit a request for approval of non-university furniture (PDF).

If you arrive between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday you may go directly to Flinders Living Administration which is located on Level 1, University Hall just inside the glass sliding doors at the top of a flight of stairs. Our staff will be able to check you into your room.

If you arrive outside these hours there will be a Duty Residential Tutor (University Hall) or Duty Residential Coordinator (Deirdre Jordan Village) available to assist you. Go to the entrance to Level 1, University Hall and please use the telephone which is located to the right of the glass sliding doors to telephone the Tutor or Coordinator.

• University Hall: 18930 (or 7221 8930 from a mobile telephone)
• Deirdre Jordan Village: 18950 (or 7221 8950 from a mobile telephone)

If you become lost when you arrive at the University campus please use the full number above and ask for assistance.

(If you are using a GPS please enter the address "1 Hall Terrace, Bedford Park, South Australia". While this will not get you all the way to the Hall your destination will only be 100 metres further up this road. Please ask your driver to continue on a little further and then take a sharp left hand turn into the "turn around" at the front of the Hall.)

The campus map (PDF) may also be of assistance to you, see map reference Q9.

Whenever and however you arrive there will always be someone available to check you in, show you to your room and, even it is very late at night or early in the morning, make sure that you are well settled into your new home.
