What students say: “The best year of my life, I met the most amazing people and definitely made friends for life.”
About Centennial
Central to all of the halls on campus, Centennial is spread across 5 buildings and has the largest common room of all the halls (with the biggest TV too). Centennial is fully-catered and, like all our Halls, is just a two-minute stroll from the dining hall and the heart of Lincoln campus.
ROOMS
Rooms are spread over two floors and laid out in pods, six rooms per pod. Beds are king singles. Each pod includes a kitchenette, one unisex toilet and two showers
FACILITIES
There is also a separate communal lounge and laundry for all Centennial residents. Students use this space to watch movies, study or play pool.
FULLY CATERED
Enjoy buffet style meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Dining Hall (Te Kete Ika).
ACCESSIBILITY
A ground floor pod offers disability access and bathroom facilities.
Additional Fees and Regulations
Residents are required to pay a deposit within the timeframe set out in the offer (typically one week). This deposit includes a refundable contingency fee (bond) of $400, processing fee of $160 and Residential Life fee of $249. These fees are subject to change so please ensure you review your accommodation offer before accepting it. Residents are liable for all fees for the entire length of their contract period.
Late payments
Disciplinary action may be taken if payment is not made in accordance with the payment schedule.
This may involve exclusion from residence, withholding of exam results, and the deferment of the awarding of any certificate, diploma or degree.
If you’re away from campus
You will need to notify your Residential Assistant (RA) if you will be away from the halls for an extended period of time.
No refund or reduction in halls fees will generally be made for absences, though the Accommodation Manager can waive or reduce any accommodation liability on medical or personal grounds.
Contingency fees (bond)
This is a form of security to ensure residents leave their room and the hall or flat in a reasonable condition at the end of their stay.
The fee is refundable only if a resident remains in residence for the entire length of their contract or other specified period negotiated with the Manager of Accommodation Services.
The contingency fee is refunded to a resident less any costs required to repair damages that cannot be attributed to wear and tear – much like a flatting situation.
Residential Life fee
The Residential Life fee supports our “Res Life Programme” which involves activities and events during the year that encourage interaction between residential students, to have fun and look after their health and wellbeing.
