There are various categories of hostel accommodations available at the University of Nigeria UNN, and generally speaking, the less expensive ones receive more patronage than the others. Students who want to get accommodation at the hostels in UNN should therefore be aware of the following:

Important Things To Note About UNN Hostel Accommodation

As a student of UNN, the following are important because contravening any of the following may jeopardize your right to accommodation even after having paid the necessary fees.

There are only limited spaces for hostel accommodation at the University.

The accommodation at the hostels is allocated on a first come, first serve basis; so time is of the essence.

The university is obliged to provide accommodation to first year and final year students first, before other students are considered for accommodation. .

Special needs students are given 30% of the accommodations. When applying for accommodation, if the student is physically challenged it is a good idea to state it as that could significantly improve one’s chances of getting the accommodation.

All Nursing Mothers must notify the authorities in their application. That will help them make the necessary arrangements to avoid problems.

First year students get 40% of the total accommodation, because they are new in town, and unfamiliar with the terrain. Final year students are assigned 30% as well.

Please remember that the hostel rooms are issued to you, and not all your friends. Therefore, you are permitted to stay alone in a room or be two persons in a room.

The hostels do not permit squatting; squatters will be evicted.

Late return to the hostel at night will be investigated, and can result in eviction.

Smoking, Drinking of Alcohol, and Stealing in the hostel will result in eviction.

Fighting and quarreling at the hostel is not allowed; students who do so will be evicted.

The university does not permit the use of hotplates, electric boiling ring, refrigerator, gas cooker and so on.

The use of generator sets on hostel premises is not allowed.

Unruly conduct such as Pouring of water in undesignated places, Defecating and bathing at undesignated places, and defacing of Hostel walls with graffiti, bills, posters and any document, will attract serious consequences.

In order to get the accommodation, students must have met the following requirements:

Students must have paid all school fees till date.

Students must have registered all courses online till date.

Students must have been issued with student ID cards, or at least have been successfully captured.

Students must also have the University student email address.

All hostel accommodation invoices are valid for only three days after they are generated; therefore, students who do not pay online within that window will lose the allocated rooms, and they will be issued to other students.

UNN Accommodation Portal; And How To Apply

The portal is very simple; when you land on the page it shows two places to enter information; the top box says Matric Number, while the bottom box says School Fees RRR.

At the top box you can just go ahead and enter your matric number, but at the second box you would need to have paid your school fees online via Remita, and then input your Remita Number.

If you have not already paid your school fees, you need to make the payment, and then input the Remita Number.
