About UWC Accommodation 2023-2024
Apply for accommodation on the same form you used to apply to study at the university before 31 October. Ensure that you have ticked yes on the question that asks if ‘you require university residence'. This qualifies as a valid application.
There is NO other form you need to complete.
The onus remains with the applicant to verify his/her accommodation application status prior to his/her arrival on Campus.
Failure on the part of the student to arrive for participation in the official Orientation Program of the university will result in the forfeiture of the accommodation.

It's worth noting that UWC residences have limited capacity, so it's important to apply for accommodation early to secure a spot. Additionally, UWC also has a Student Housing Assistance Programme which can help students find off-campus accommodation if they are unable to secure a spot in one of the university residences.
