Vaal University of Technology VUT Residences and Accommodation
Vacation Accommodation
Student Housing Management realizes the need to generate additional funds wherever possible through the utilization of its facilities and therefore has instituted a vacation accommodation programme that rents out the facilities to Holiday Makers, Sport people and Groups during the winter and summer recess periods.
During this period most residence students vacate the residences and go home for the holidays. Students staying behind for any academic related matter are charged daily vacation accommodation rates.
Residences
