The Solomon Islands National University (SINU) has confirmed that student boarding for Semester 1, 2026, will commence on Sunday, March 1, at both the Kukum and Panatina campuses.
SINU in a recent statement issued said the university’s kitchen will also open on the same day to serve dinner and will continue operating throughout the semester to provide meals for students.
The statement further said that applications for boarding and meal services opened on Monday, 3 February 2026, and students are urged to submit their applications as early as possible to secure accommodation and meal access.
“To complete the application process, students must provide several documents, including two passport-sized photographs, enrolment confirmation, and for SIG-sponsored students, an award letter. Privately sponsored students must submit a sponsor letter,” the statement said.
The university further adds that timely submission of these documents is crucial to ensure smooth processing and to avoid delays.
SINU in the meantime encourages students to visit the Business Investment & Commercial Services (BICS) Office for guidance or contact the university on 42691 for further information.
The university reiterates the importance of early application to avoid last-minute challenges and to ensure students have access to accommodation and meals from the start of the semester.
