EBSU hostel allocation for the 2025/2026 academic session is open for all students who wish to live in the university hostel. The management of the university has not just made the allocation process, but they have also adopted the system of priority orders. Early applicants are attended to first before considering those who applied late.
The university opened the portal for applications after the release of the admission list, and it is accompanied by school fees payment.
Students also know that anyone applying for the university hostel must first and foremost complete their school fees payment for the session, as EBSU only recognises those who have paid as bona fide students.
