Hall Admission Policy in 2024-25

Recognizing the limited number of hall places available, the University periodically reviews the policies governing students’ admission to student halls in alignment with its strategic goals. The table below presents the Hall Admission Policy for the academic year of 2024-25, which was approved by the Student Affairs Committee in March 2024. It also outlines the allocation priority for different groups of eligible students who apply for hall residence.
