The University of Cape Coast (UCC) has announced an online bed selection exercise for fresh POST-WASSCE students starting Sunday, 20 September 2026. According to an official announcement, the university outlined a seven-step guide for fresh students to follow when selecting their beds online ahead of the 2026 academic year. This exercise is exclusively for students who gained admission through the POST-WASSCE route.
The University of Cape Coast made it clear that awaiting applicants are not permitted to participate in this exercise and will be notified separately when their own portal opens. The school advised students to follow the procedures carefully to avoid errors during the selection process. The seven steps outlined by the university include confirming admission and paying school fees, logging in to the Student Portal, paying accommodation fees, accessing the Room Selection module, receiving hall assignments, choosing preferred rooms, and printing required documents.
To begin the bed selection process, students must first accept their offer of admission and pay all required school fees. They will then log in to the Student Portal using their Student Registration Number and password received after payment. The accommodation fee amount applicable to each student will be displayed on the portal. Students can make payment at any Prudential Bank branch or via the shortcode *772*40#.
After paying the accommodation fees, students will access the Room Selection module by logging back into the Student Portal with their Registration Number and Password. The system will automatically assign each student to a hall of residence. Once the hall has been assigned, students will click again on "Room Selection" and pick an available room within that hall.
The University of Cape Coast reminded all freshers and their parents or guardians that the bed selection portal for awaiting applicants will be made available at a later date. A separate communication will be issued when that process begins. The university urged all concerned parties to take note of the guidelines and follow them accordingly to secure their preferred accommodation before spaces run out.
The seven-step guide provided by the university aims to ensure a smooth bed selection process for fresh students. By following these steps, students can avoid errors and secure their preferred accommodation. The university's announcement was made through a Facebook post containing the official press statement.
The online bed selection portal is now open for fresh POST-WASSCE students, and the university encourages them to follow the guidelines carefully. The bed selection process is a crucial aspect of the university's accommodation allocation, and students are advised to complete the process promptly to secure their preferred accommodation.
