- Email Notifications: Once you are allocated a bed space, an email notification will be sent to your registered email address. It is crucial to regularly check your email for updates.
- Payment Deadline: Candidates who secure a bed space must make the necessary payment within one week; otherwise, the allocation will be revoked and reassigned.
- Strict Regulations: It is strictly prohibited to sell your allocated bed space to another student or squat in another student's allocated space, whether for economic gains or any other reason. Violation of this rule is considered an offense and may result in a minimum of two semesters of rustication.
