The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has released an official notice on the Hostel Accommodation exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session. All fresh and returning students who wish to stay in the university hostels must follow the outlined steps and meet the stated conditions.

The hostel allocation process will only apply to students who have completed full payment of their school charges for the session.
