UNILORIN Hostel Allocation Update (2025/2026)

The University of Ilorin’s Student Affairs Unit has officially launched the hostel allocation exercise for the 2025/2026 academic year. This annual process determines how bed spaces in university-owned hostels will be distributed among eligible students. Typically, returning students and freshers are assigned different dates to access the online portal, and only those who have completed all required school fees are allowed to participate. The exercise is strictly regulated to ensure fairness, with policies in place to prevent the resale or transfer of allocated spaces. Students are encouraged to stay updated through official university channels to avoid missing key deadlines.

The University of Ilorin’s Student Affairs Unit, led by Dr. Alex Akanmu, has officially announced the commencement of the hostel allocation process for the 2025/2026 academic session. This exercise will be conducted entirely online through students’ individual portals, streamlining access and ensuring transparency.

Balloting Schedule

Eligibility Requirements

To participate, students must have completed payment of all university charges. The hostel portal will only be accessible to those who have fulfilled this financial obligation, so early payment is strongly advised to avoid missing out.
