CPUT Residences

CPUT offers residence space for over 13 400 students. Our residences are spread across the Cape Peninsula in the areas surrounding our campuses. There are 3 types of university-controlled accommodation options where students can be housed:

• University-owned residences
• University leased residences
• University Accredited residences

Students who cannot secure on- and off-campus accommodation from the university often choose private accommodation near campus.

CPUT has an Off-Campus Housing Accreditation Program to help balance the demand for student housing when owned, rented, and university-administered accredited dormitories are full. This makes it safer and easier for students to contract with service providers, knowing that the university checks and verifies the quality of services at each facility.

The second option is non-accredited private accommodation where students arrange their own accommodation. If the student is funded, you must ensure that the Financial Aid/Scholarships Office knows where the student is staying.

In either case, the university is the grant recipient and it is the grant recipient’s responsibility to ensure that all information is recorded by the appropriate agency. Privately-financed students may also take advantage of non-university accommodation offers, if available. Find out more about off-campus housing
