Application Process

Can I still make changes to my hall application after I have submitted it?
Students are allowed to make changes to their hall application before the given deadline, and the latest changes will apply. No more changes can be made once the application period has ended.

Application Results

1. When will I be informed of the hall and room allocation result? Applicants will be progressively notified from 18 July 2024 onwards. Applicants in these NIE programmes (Postgraduate Diploma in Education, Diploma in Education/School Counselling/ Special Education) will be progressively notified from 30 July 2024.

Double Room Applications

1. If I’m applying for a double room, can I indicate my preferred roommate? You may indicate a preferred roommate if you are applying to stay in a double room. This could be a:
   • Freshman: You may only apply to stay with a freshman of the same gender. - Each of you must submit your own application via the Student Housing Portal. - In the Portal, you will need to search for the name of your preferred roommate and form a roommate group as part of your application. Both of you should have started your housing applications to be able to form the group.
   • Senior sibling: You may only apply to stay with your sibling of the same gender. - Your sibling must first be successful in their hall application before your roommate request can be considered. - If you are successfully offered a place in hall, you will be allocated to the Hall and room type chosen by the senior student. Please note that all requests for preferred roommates are subject to room availability. There are no guarantees that your preferred roommate pairing will be granted. If double rooms are not available, both of you will be assigned to another room type.
2. I am a student from NTU’s Premier Scholars Programmes. Can I apply to stay with a freshman not from these programmes?
   Students who are in the Premier Scholars Programmes (except the Renaissance Engineering Programme) can apply to stay with another freshman not from these programmes. Requests to room together are subject to availability of double rooms. If double rooms are not available, both of you will be assigned to another room type.

Students with Special Needs

1. I am a student with special needs, and I have certain requirements for my room. How do I inform the Hall of my requirements?
   As each individual’s requirements may differ, please inform the Accessible Education Unit (email: [email protected] ), who will liaise with the Office of Campus Housing accordingly.

Hall & Room Selection

Can I choose my hall and room?
No, the allocation of the residential hall and room is done by electronic balloting. Subject to room availability, the balloting takes into consideration your room type preference in your application. If the requested room type is not available, you will be assigned to another room type.

MRT Construction

Are any hall blocks affected by the MRT construction on campus?
Certain hall blocks located along Nanyang Avenue, including Hall 8 (Blk 41 and 44), Hall 9 (Blk 48), Hall 10 (Blk 49), Hall 11 (Blk 53 and 56), and Binjai Hall (Blk 19A), may be affected by the Jurong Region Line MRT construction works. The works will take place both in the day and night, which may potentially affect noise levels in the vicinity.

Financial Matters

Why are hall fees reviewed periodically?
As NTU continues to work towards maintaining a high standard of campus housing, like all organisations around the world, we face challenges. In the University’s context, some of our top challenges in managing student housing include the increasing operating costs of the halls of residence and higher electricity tariffs.

While NTU has continued to subsidise hall costs for our students, hall fees will be progressively increased from AY2024-25 to AY2026-27 to partially defray rising costs. The annual increase in monthly hall fees for undergraduates will be capped at a maximum of $50.
