About the Department

Accommodation Services manages student housing at Kenyatta University, overseeing on-campus hostels and supporting students seeking off-campus housing. The department allocates hostel rooms each semester, maintains residence facilities and enforces hostel rules to ensure a safe, conducive living environment.

On-campus hostels are allocated through the student portal on a first-come, first-served basis with priority for first-year and special-needs students. For students living off campus, the office maintains a register of vetted private hostels in the neighbouring areas and offers guidance on tenancy matters.
