Unicauca opens the doors of its University Residences for the first semester of 2026

11 March, 2026

More than just housing, it is a space to grow and dream big: if you are enrolled in an undergraduate program at Unicauca, your family lives outside Popayán, and you need support to continue your educational journey, the University Residences are for you. So pay close attention, because the call to make this place your second home is now open! Until next October 6, 2025, you may apply for the opportunity to secure a spot in this space that offers you a dignified, safe home, full of support along your academic path.

The Universidad del Cauca (University of Cauca) now offers its Student University Residences, a recently inaugurated space with capacity for 188 young people, designed to provide you with a dignified home if you are enrolled in an undergraduate program, have limited financial resources, and your family resides outside Popayán.

This service constitutes essential support to ensure that nothing stands in the way of your educational journey, so that economic barriers or the lack of adequate housing do not become obstacles to achieving your professional dreams.

For this reason, from the Office of the Vice President for Culture and Wellbeing, we invite you to be part of this experience and apply to the call for applications, open until October 6, 2025, and applicable to the first academic term of 2026.
