According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by one of Ghana’s popular educational platforms, @Thevokofficial, the system will go live at 1:00 PM on December 16, 2025.
The accommodation portal will allow newly admitted students to apply for campus hostels, ensuring a smoother start to their academic journey.
Fresh students are therefore advised to stay glued to the school’s portal for immediate access after the launch of the system.
"The KNUST Accommodation Application System for Freshers will be open in due course today, 16th December 2025, for booking at 1:00 PM. All Freshers are advised to use a laptop with a strong internet connection for the process," the post shared.

KNUST System eases access to campus hostels
The new system is designed to make hostel acquisition easy and affordable, reducing unnecessary stress for students.
By providing clear guidance and a dedicated online portal, KNUST ensures that freshers can secure accommodation efficiently, focusing on their studies rather than logistical hurdles.
This development also follows the university’s effort to support Senior High School graduates who could not gain admission as regular students due to limited spaces.
Unadmitted KNUST applicants given an alternative
In a video posted on KNUST’s official Facebook page on December 14, 2025, the university explained that applicants who missed out on regular admission could still apply through fee-paying or parallel programmes.
The announcement encouraged hopeful students not to panic and assured them that the same application portal could be used to secure admission into these programmes.
KNUST officially released its 2025/2026 undergraduate admissions list on December 12, 2025, giving applicants a clear timeline for their next steps.

University of Ghana introduces self-placement option
Meanwhile, the University of Ghana (UG) has also introduced a self-placement option for applicants desirous of studying at the institution.
As a result, an Admissions Assistance Desk has been set up at the University Stadium to assist applicants and newly admitted students.
At the time of filing this report, the 14-second video on X, which had raked in more than 100 likes and many comments, was captioned:
“If you didn’t get regular admission, applicants may still apply for fee-paying or parallel programmes through the portal.”
Ghanaian rejoices over admission to UG
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a young Ghanaian lady’s inbox was flooded after she took to social media to announce that she had gained admission to study at the University of Ghana.
She posted a short clip announcing that she had been offered a Bachelor of Science in Administration programme at the university and was excited, having waited four years to be accepted.
