To apply for a room, students must complete the housing application form.
There are two different types of room application / evaluation procedures: one for Cypriots and Greek full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students; one for Erasmus and other exchange / international students.
Full time Cypriot and Greek students, must submit their room application forms within the deadlines set for each academic year. These application forms are evaluated on the basis of three criteria: income, socioeconomic problems and distance of residence from the town centre of Nicosia.

Selection is based on the following:Students intending to study at UCY for the entire academic year (September-May) have priority over students intending to study at UCY for only one semester.
Students who have not stayed in the Student Halls in the past have priority over students who are currently staying or have stayed in the past at the Student Halls.
