Off campus living often comes with hidden challenges, from rushing for transport to struggling with unstable power supply and sometimes insecurity. Securing a hostel space early can save you months of stress during the school year. That is why many students prefer staying within the school environment.

For the 2024/2025 academic session, Federal University Wukari has continued to provide affordable and organised hostel accommodation for both new and returning students and here is everything you need to know about the process.

FUWUKARI Hostel Accommodation

Hostel spaces at FUWUKARI are limited and highly competitive every year. Thousands of students apply once the portal opens, and late applicants often miss out.

Accommodation is open to:

  • New students

  • Returning students

  • Indigenes and non-indigenes

Students who recently checked their names on the admission list are usually advised to prepare early for hostel registration.

Living on campus gives students better access to lecture halls, libraries, and study groups. It also helps students follow the academic calendar without distractions.

Students with Higher Chances of getting a hostel space

While all eligible students can apply, some categories usually have higher chances.

These include:

  • First year students

  • Final year students

  • Students with medical considerations

Students in 300 level sometimes have lower chances due to Industrial Training and Teaching Practice activities.

FUWUKARI Hostel Accommodation Fee 2024/2025

The management has kept hostel charges affordable for students. The approved hostel fee is ₦35,000 per session

This amount covers basic accommodation services. However, it may change in future sessions depending on school policy.

Students should also budget alongside their school fees to avoid financial pressure during resumption.
