Ready to open your doors to the next generation of scholars? SPU’s Campus Housing and Accommodation Unit (CAHAU) is inviting all prospective accommodation providers to apply for accreditation as we gear up for the new academic year.
What is an AOCA provider?
An Accredited Off-Campus Accommodation (AOCA) provider is an accredited landlord who has been granted accreditation by the university to provide off-campus accommodation to SPU students.
Why become an AOCA provider?
With the housing challenges in the higher education sector, the need for secure, comfortable, and conducive off-campus accommodation has never been greater. As an AOCA provider, you’re not just a landlord; you’re an essential part of the SPU student experience.
How does it pay off?
Payments will be made monthly to the AOCA provider, and you’ll be a part of a structured system that ensures reliability and transparency. Application fees range from R500 for smaller properties to R1 000 for bigger setups.
What’s the application process?
- Complete an application form that aligns with our guidelines and requirements.
- Pay the non-refundable application fee.
- Submit all required documentation, including floor plans and a valid title deed.
- Applications are reviewed by an Accreditation Committee, and status outcomes are communicated.
