JKUAT Hostel Booking Guide: How to Secure Accommodation for August 2025 Semester

As the new semester approaches, securing accommodation is a top priority for both new and continuing students at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT). The JKUSA Office of the Accommodation Secretary has officially released the hostel booking schedule for the August/September 2025 intake, and here’s everything you need to know to ensure a smooth and successful booking process.

📅 Key Booking Dates

  • First-Year Students: Booking opens on Monday, 19th August 2025
  • Continuing Students: Booking opens on Tuesday, 20th August 2025

It’s crucial to mark these dates and act promptly, as hostel spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

🌐 How to Book Your Hostel Room

  1. Visit the Portal: Go to accommodation.jkuat.ac.ke
  2. Login/Register: Use your student credentials to log in. First-year students may need to register using their admission details.
  3. Select Hostel Preference: Choose your preferred hostel based on availability, location, and amenities.
  4. Confirm Booking: Confirm your booking and download the confirmation slip.
  5. Payment: Follow the instructions provided for payment. Keep the receipt for verification during check-in.

📞 Need Help?

For any inquiries or assistance, students are encouraged to contact the Accommodation Office directly or call 0757218022.

💬 A Word from the Accommodation Secretary

 

 

  “Our goal is to ensure every student at JKUAT feels at home—whether it's through safe and accessible accommodation, nutritious meals, or responsive health and catering services. As we welcome a new semester, we remain committed to creating a supportive environment where students can thrive both academically and personally.”

  — Imali Brenda, Health, Catering and Accommodation Secretary 2025/2026

 

 

🧳 Final Tips

  • Book early to avoid last-minute stress.
  • Double-check your booking details before confirming.
  • Keep all receipts and confirmation slips safe.
  • Reach out for help if you encounter any issues.
