Learn More About Housing and Accommodation

Each hall of residence is administered by a Student Services Manager who is assisted by Resident Advisors, a Hall Operations Supervisor and Service Staff. The resident hall community is a vital part of students'  learning experience and promotes and supports the mission of the University. There are currently eleven halls of residence at the University of the West Indies, Mona: 

Upon application to study at the UWI Mona, each student is automatically assigned a hall attachment; however, note that attachment to a hall of residence does not mean that you have been assigned a room in the hall of residence. You are to complete an application for housing (see the instructions at the top of this page), which will be submitted to the Housing Unit for processing. Once your application has been approved, you will be sent an offer of accommodation. This offer of accommodation should be accompanied by a letter that provides details such as the date you are expected to take up residence and the applicable hall fees.


Remember that you have to confirm that you were offered a place in a hall before you pack up and move to campus. You may be accepted to live in either a single or a double room, depending on the hall to which you applied.

What to Bring

The hall will send you a list of things you need to take with you. Please pay attention to this list and be guided by it. You may also wish to take family pictures, curtains, towels, and sheets. Have fun decorating your room to make it comfortable, as this will be your home for the next year.

Paying your Hall Fees

Hall fees can be paid either in full or by semester. Payments can be made through the UWI Bursary  Cashier, Paymaster, Bill Express, UWI Online System, EDUCOM Co-operative Credit Union and National Commercial Bank (island-wide). Payments made at any of the payment outlets (Paymaster, Bill Express, and National Commercial Bank) take approximately two working days to be posted to students’ accounts.

When you arrive to take up residence in the hall, you are expected to show proof of payment. Take along the original payment receipt.

Off-Campus Accommodation

The Lodgings Office in the Office of Student Services and Development will assist you in finding housing off-campus. This may be accessed in nearby communities such as Mona and Hope Pastures.
