Eligibility for Accommodation in the Undergraduate Halls (Please note the update!)
Please read the General Information carefully and thoroughly before you submit your hall application.
A. Housing Policy
University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded full-time local undergraduate students will have the opportunity to experience one year of hostel life in University accommodation during their studies at the University. Please click HERE for Housing Policy.
B. Student Status
Students must possess a student status of “Normal Study” as defined by the Academic Registry during the stay in the University Accommodation. You may check your student status in BUniPort > Profile > Personal Particulars & Study Record. Students who cease to be classified as “Normal Study” (e.g. taking an internship, suspension of study or leave of absence) will no longer be eligible for University Accommodation and will be required to check out of the Halls.

Those who fail to do so will still be allowed to stay in the Halls but their residence in the Second Semester of 2022/23 will be subject to a minimum semester GPA of 2.0 or above for the First Semester of 2022/23.
