The University of Cape Coast (UCC) has announced the opening of its online bed selection portal for awaiting applicants. In an official Facebook post on September 22, 2026, the university confirmed that the exercise would begin on Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 12 midnight. This move gives a fresh group of incoming students the chance to secure accommodation in the university's Halls of Residence. The announcement followed an earlier round of bed selection that had been available to admitted fresh students.
To access the room selection portal, students must first confirm their admission, pay school fees, and settle accommodation fees. The university outlined a clear seven-step procedure for students to follow when accessing the accommodation portal. These steps include confirming admission and paying school fees, logging in to the Student Portal, paying accommodation fees, logging in and accessing room selection, hall assignment, selecting a room, and printing and submitting required documents.
The seven-step process requires students to log in to the Student Portal using their Student Registration Number and password issued after payment. They must then check the portal for the applicable accommodation fee and make payments at any Prudential Bank branch or via the shortcode *772*40#. After paying accommodation fees, students can log back into the Student Portal and click on "Room Selection" to begin the process.
Once a hall has been assigned, students can click on "Room Selection" to choose a preferred available room within that hall. The system will automatically assign each student to a hall of residence. Students must print and submit three documents to their assigned hall to finalise the process: a Hall Tenancy Agreement, Proof of Hall/Room Selection, and their Admission Letter.
UCC urged all students and their parents or guardians to follow the guide carefully to avoid any issues during the selection process. The university noted that all three printed documents must be physically submitted to the assigned hall for the accommodation process to be considered complete. This process is exclusively for awaiting applicants, as earlier bed selection was available to students who gained admission through the POST-WASSCE route.
The University of Cape Coast has made this process convenient by providing detailed information on its official website at ucc.edu.gh. Awaiting applicants can now access the online bed selection portal and follow the seven-step process to secure their accommodation. The university's move aims to streamline the accommodation process and provide a smooth experience for incoming students.
The online bed selection portal is now open for awaiting applicants, and the university has provided a clear guide to help them through the process. By following the outlined steps, students can successfully secure their accommodation in the university's Halls of Residence. The University of Cape Coast continues to make efforts to improve the student experience and provide necessary support for its incoming students.
