FAQ on UNILAG Accommodation

Question 1:  I was allocated a Hall, but the print out says “No Bed-Space”.  Why?

Answer: A newly admitted student is assigned to a specific Hall of Residence which will remain his/her permanent Hall throughout his/her stay in the University.

Question 2: Why?

Answer: This is a new University policy which takes effect from 2014/2015 academic session.

Question 3: Can one change his/her Hall?

Answer: NO.  You cannot since you are already permanently attached to the Hall.  You are to participate in sports and other activities of the Hall.

Question 4: Why did I not get a bed space allocation in my assigned permanent Hall now?

Answer: You did not because bed space allocation is based on ballot due to the limited number of bed spaces available.  You were simply unlucky this session. Better luck next time!!!
