RESIDENCE LIFE

  1.             Application for residence accommodation

Only students who have been accepted academically by the CUT and who have received written confirmation of such acceptance from the CUT may apply for accommodation on the attached application form.

A copy of the bank deposit slip / University receipt as proof of payment of the application fee must accompany the application form, otherwise the application will not be processed or considered.  Please keep a certified copy of your deposit slip in a safe place.

The date of payment appearing on the deposit slip is presumed to be the date of signing of the application form, and placements will be made strictly according to this date.

If no accommodation is available, students will be placed in residences in accordance with a waiting list.  It is the responsibility of the students to keep constantly in contact with the Residence Administration for space by dialing (051) 507 3158 during working hours.

2.             General student housing information

Residence accommodation offers every student the opportunity to become readily involved in all activities offered by the CUT such as social and sporting activities, life-skills and peer tutoring programmes.  It is also an enriching experience to function in a group doing activities that are unique to each residence.

Residences have full-time Residence Managers who manage the facilities and are supported by a Warden and Sub-wardens.
