How it works
The rules are simple, and they're the same at every Jezreel residence.
Rent is charged at the maximum approved NSFAS accommodation rate for the year. Under UJ policy, there are no top-ups.
Your accommodation allowance goes to your residence. It can't be converted to cash.
You are liable for rent at the cash rate for the months you stayed, so check your NSFAS status early.
NSFAS, bursary and cash-paying students live side by side. Rooms are R5,200 a month, the maximum approved NSFAS accommodation rate for 2026, and the rate may change for 2027. Cash-paying students can contact us directly to confirm the cash rate for their residence.
Writing supplementary exams (23–27 November 2026)? You can stay for the exam period, but everyone moves out by 30 November. Let your Property Manager know in advance.
To move out, give one calendar month's written notice on the 1st of the month.
Step by step
This is the whole journey, from funding to front door.

Upload what we need. The application checklist lists every document.

Coming back in 2027? Free storage for large items is available at some residences over the December break. Book it with your Property Manager before you move out; everything must be in storage by 30 November. If you use storage but don't return in 2027, a fee of R500 a month for December and January applies.
