Student Residences
CUT residences are designed to maximise the educational value of the housing system, uniting student life and academic learning. Each residence is managed by a full-time Residence Manager, supported by a dedicated Warden and Sub-wardens who ensure a safe, supportive, and enriching environment.
Note: If you experience any problems with residence telephone numbers, please contact the central line at +27 (0)51 507 3911.
Our Residence Leadership Goals
- Encourage first-year students to participate in academic support programmes for identified risk subjects, offered by the Centre for Counselling and Development.
- Establish smaller, focused study groups within the residences in cooperation with academic support staff.
- Involve academic and support staff regularly in residence student programmes to bridge the gap between campus and classroom.
- Instil a strong sense of responsibility towards the broader community through organised community service initiatives.
