UCT's residence system

Third tier accommodation: Overview

Administrator: Tel: 021 685 0550

Third-tier residences provide accommodation for senior postgraduate students.

Third-tier accommodation is run on a "landlord-tenant" basis. There is no student governance, unless a residents' association is formed, and no warden. A co-ordinator handles all maintenance and personal queries.

Basic furniture is provided. Most units are within walking distance of the Upper Campus or close to the shuttle, and all are easily accessible to shops and public transport.

Some third-tier residences also provide self-operating laundries, and all residents have an easy access to UCT sport facilities and pools.
