We normally start allocating our senior students first whom have reapplied for their current residences from the second week of December.
New and First year applicants are allocated spaces from mid-December and we find that our small properties in the Summerstrand and Humewood areas are fully reserved by the 20th of December followed by our Central or City Centre residences.
Placements or accommodation offers will continue until the University closes in December.
We will forward you an offer of accommodation via email and you will have five (5) working days to accept the offer and settle the applicable deposits in order to secure your room.
Should no deposit be paid on or before the 10th of January, please consider your booking cancelled and your room will be advertised.
Please make sure that your contact information such as email addresses and cellphone numbers remain active throughout the application process. Should it change, you must advise us in writing via email to offcampus.accommodation@mandela.ac.za
