Before travelling students should contact the Student Welfare Division via email at kerengak@unigoroka.ac.pg. Students arriving after 4 pm should contact Student Welfare or the University Security Office for pickup assistance.

Accommodation and Meals

Due to earthquake damage in 2022, priority for on campus accommodation will be given to female students on National Government TESAS scholarships and selected corporate sponsored students including DFAT, BEST and Ok Tedi.

Some students will be accommodated off campus within the Goroka area. Full fee paying students and other corporate sponsored students are advised to contact Student Welfare Services for assistance with off campus accommodation.

Students allocated accommodation by the University will receive temporary ID cards for dining hall access and room keys which must be returned at the end of the academic year. Students are advised to bring blankets and pillows or sufficient funds to purchase them locally due to Goroka’s cold climate.

Board and lodging on campus is strictly available to School Leavers and continuing pre service students under government sponsorships who have fully paid the required fees. All outstanding 2025 fees must be cleared before commencing the 2026 academic year.
