Accommodation has been found for 220 students who fled a fire at their residential college at James Cook University in Townsville early on Thursday morning.
No one was injured but 14 people were assessed for smoke inhalation from the blaze, which caused moderate damage to the campus building.
The university's vice-chancellor Sandra Harding said the majority of the students could be accommodated at the campus, with 90 others set to stay with family and friends nearby.
