Hostel

Hostel facilities are provided for a limited number of students by the university. The University of Vavuniya has four hostels to offer for accommodation. Hostels are situated within the university premises and outside in rented houses. The total capacity of this hostel accommodation is 1000 students. The university provides 70 students’ accommodation at the rented houses. The students should pay hostel rent at the beginning of every academic year. Selected students should report to the hostel on the given date. The warden appoints the hostel committee at the beginning of every academic year. The warden is the senior member of the academic staff, and they are responsible for the disciplinary matters in hostels under the guidance and control of the vice-chancellor.

The Student and Welfare Division provides residential facilities for undergraduate students and recovers hostel fees & fines for damages from accommodated students. In addition, it assigns the full-time sub-wardens to the hostels.
