The Off Campus Housing Office (OCHO) is pleased to offer students affordable, well managed accredited off campus housing options. The residences may be located within walking distance to available public transport or NMMU shuttle service.

Even though these properties are accredited by the OCHO, the University holds no legal jurisdiction and students ‘take up lease agreements in their own capacity. All students are advised to stay in accredited off campus accommodation for at least one semester. In the event of students choosing to stay in non-accredited properties, the OCHO will not be held liable for any dissatisfaction and problems that arise there nor for accommodation payments.

It is advisable that you secure your accommodation prior to departure from home and payment of deposits will ensure all bookings are made timeously.
