Questions answered.

Anything else — ask us.

Who can apply?

Any student registered, or registering, at a university we serve — TUT, UP, Wits, UJ or Rhodes — for the 2027 academic year. If you study somewhere else, apply anyway and tell us where; we will say what we have near you.

Am I covered if I am on NSFAS?

Yes. Our residences meet the Department of Higher Education and Training's norms and standards for student housing, and NSFAS-funded students live with us at every site. Choose NSFAS as your funding on the form; a reference number helps but is not needed to apply.

I am not South African. Can I apply?

Yes. The form accepts a passport, asylum or refugee permit in place of a South African ID.

What do I need to register and apply?

To register: an email address and a password. To apply: your ID or passport number, a cellphone number, and — if someone else pays — their name and contact details. Nothing is paid to apply.

I registered but cannot sign in. What now?

Open the confirmation email we sent when you registered — its link signs you in. If you have forgotten your password, ask for a sign-in link instead: we email a one-time link that signs you straight in.

When do applications close?

The 2027 intake closes on 31 March 2027. Rooms are allocated as applications are approved, so earlier is better.

Can I visit before I decide?

Yes. Every residence has a manager on site; use the contact page to arrange a visit.

Your room for 2027 starts with an account.

Register in a minute, apply in five, and sign in any time to see where you stand. Applications close 31 March 2027.
