2015/2016 Guidelines On Accommodation Into Unilag Halls Of Residence
As published by The dean of students affairs. Read the guidelines below and adhere strictly to them for your own good…
Take note of number 18, it’s very important
- 1. The 2015/2016 accommodation exercise is strictly an online distribution and allocation of bed spaces.
- 2. Students should note that there are limited bed spaces due to increase in the number of students.
- 3. Allocation of bed spaces will be on the basis of first come first served
- 4. All freshers shall be distributed into permanent HoR. Thereafter they will ballot for bed spaces on the basis of their assigned HoR.
- 5. Students with medical challenges (physically challenged inclusive) should register at the Medical Centre; otherwise their cases will not be treated by the Students Affairs Division.
- 6. No sales of scratch cards for accommodation. Students are advised to log on directly to www.unilaghalls.com for allocation of bed spaces using matriculation number or jamb registration number as the case is applicable
- 7. Students should strictly abide by the time table for allocation of bed spaces for each category.
- 8. Illegal sales or purchase of bed spaces attracts rustication for two (2) semesters; any student caught will be disciplined accordingly, so beware!!!
- 9. Students must pay their accommodation fee within 3-working days after allocation of bed space, else the bed space stands forfeited
- 10. Deriving from nine (9) above, another round of balloting will be carried out to give opportunity to students who did not succeed in the earlier ballot.
- 11. Complaints should be channeled through the online help desk for accommodation. All complaints shall be attended to promptly. No students and staff are allowed to gather in or outside the Students Affairs Office.
- 12. Re-assignment of HoR based on choice will not be entertained; students with such request shall forfeit his/her allocation.
- 13. Under no circumstances should any bed space/room not officially assigned be occupied by any student.
- 14. Students penalised for any form of social and academic misconduct are not eligible for accommodation.
- 15. Biological form for staff child(ren) has been uploaded online, members of staff are expected to fill, print, sign and submit at the Student Affairs Division (attach copy of birth certificate and last course registration form of 2015/2016 session). Other necessary information will be posted on the University Website and in the Information Flash.
- 16. All students resident in the HoR shall be issued identification pass/cards, which must be produced on demand at any point in time.
- 17. All students are requested to avail themselves of information on accommodation through the Unilag Website, Lagmobile and the Information Flash.
- 18. The date for balloting of bed space for freshers is Wednesday, December 23, 2015 while that of final year and other levels will commence in January.

Within three working days
You won’t see the login link until that 10am, you can visit the link directly unilaghalls.com/login.php Most of you don’t understand the meaning of balloting, well it’s understandable. The thing is that unilag would give you all hall of residence but you would have to ballot (contest) for space in that particular hall of residence you have been given, For example, when you login, you would see your details and the hall you have been given, don’t rejoice yet, you have to update your profile and then click on GET A SPACE NOW, I think updating your profile requires your passport, so I’d advise you scan it at the cafe before 10am incase you are to upload it, all this requires speed, I mean speed, if you’re 10minutes late, you might be very unlucky. You would understand better tomorrow. Happy hostel games
Thanks for this
I meant today
please how do we know the HoR we’ve been assigned to..can’t we check sum where else instead of the DSS’s office??
When you login into the hostel portal by 10am, the hall you ve been assigned to will be displayed . So, no cause for alarm
Good morning Bro Tim.
Pls how do I know my hall of residence.
When you login by 10am you will see you hall of residence. All you need do is to ballot for space in that hall.
