The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) has announced an important update for the incoming final-year students regarding the bed space allocation for the upcoming 2023/2024 session. In an effort to streamline the process and ensure fairness, the university has fixed a specific date for bed space balloting. This announcement aims to inform and prepare final-year students for the upcoming allocation procedure.
The Division of Student Affairs wishes to inform all returning undergraduate students that information on accommodation for the 2023/2024 academic session has been released.
Key Points:
- Balloting Date: Friday, 26th July, 2024
- Time: 7:00 pm
- Mode: Online Portal
Please be informed that the hostel balloting portal will be opened on the date and time indicated above for all returning undergraduates.

What that translates into for you is the fact that once the portal opens, securing a hostel bed will depend on the speed at which you can log into the portal. To give you the best shot at being successful, here are a few tips:
- Mark Your Calendar: Note the date and time.
- Set a Reminder: Use alarms; set reminders one hour before the opening of the portal.
- Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure it is in good condition for you to connect quickly.
- Log In Early: This can be a few minutes before 7:00 pm, to avoid last-minute hitches.
The balloting process is so important because it will determine where you are living for the entire academic year. Not taking this opportunity would make your time more stressful than just scrounging to find someplace to live.
