University’s Halls / Hostels of Residence
There are nine Halls of Residence available to undergraduate students on the Main Campus. Six of these are for male students (Lumumba, Livingstone, Mitchell, Nkurumah, Nsibirwa, and University Hall); while three are for female students (Africa, Complex, and Mary Stuart).
Each admitted student to the University is attached to a Hall of Residence as part of the identity of that student; and NEVER AUTOMATICALLY for accommodation purposes. The nine halls of residence accommodate a total of 4,400 students (10% of undergraduate student population) offering all types of programmes from all years of programmes from all years of study in line with current University policies and practices.
For first years, a number of accommodation slots (to be communicated) are availed for both government (from selected degree programmes and for students with disabilities); and for private-sponsored students who will have applied and obtained authorization to become residents from Dean of Students. Bed space in University’s Halls of residence is limited so it is never automatic that Government Sponsored or indeed any student shall be resident, until this has been confirmed with both offices of the Dean of Students and the Warden.
Students admitted through the Diploma and Mature Age Entry schemes are not eligible for accommodation in the University’s Halls of Residence. An exception to this provision is made for 5th year medical students who wish to reside in Galloway Hostel. Similarly, Students admitted to the External or Distance Degree programmes are also not eligible for full time accommodation in the university’s Halls of Residence, except during face-to-face sessions. Galloway Hostel at Mulago accommodates continuing undergraduate students from the College of Health Sciences; while Kabanyolo Hostel accommodates continuing students from College of Agricultural Environmental Sciences. Non-resident Government sponsored students will be paid Living-Out Allowance (LOA) while Non- resident private students should be catered for by their sponsors.
Students who do not get accommodation on campus may report to the Office of the Dean of Students for allocation to University affiliated hostels for accommodation or other hostels not affiliated to University.
