STUDENT UPDATE
Date: 13 July 2026
The Ministry of Local Government wishes to update the student community following today's engagement with the Accommodation Office regarding accommodation applications, the selection process, and students' concerns.
We are pleased to inform you that all concerns raised by students regarding accommodation applications and the selection process were formally submitted and have been taken into consideration by the Accommodation Office. The Ministry has been assured that the accommodation allocation process will continue to be transparent, fair, and smooth.
Students are further informed that the official accommodation application advert will be published very soon. We therefore encourage all students, whether sponsored by the Higher Education Loans and Scholarships Board (HELSB) or self-sponsored, to apply for accommodation once the advert is released and ensure they follow the application guidelines.
With regard to the storage of students' belongings during the academic break, discussions are still ongoing. As such, the Ministry is unable to provide a definitive update at this time. Further communication will be issued once an official position has been reached.
The Ministry remains committed to representing the interests of the student community and will continue to provide timely updates as more information becomes available.
