Financial Aid Housing

Kaua'i Community College is considered a commuter campus as there is no on-site housing available. Off campus housing is available in the community. The Financial Aid Office receives few announcements about rooms for rent and those announcements would be posted here at this web site and on a bulletin board outside of our office. To learn more about what is available we encourage you to take a look at any of the following sites:

The University of Hawaii Off-Campus Housing (OCH) Referral Program is a year-round referral service provided by the University (located on the Manoa campus); the university does not currently own, or operate, any facilities off-campus. Students, faculty, and staff may find off campus housing by visiting the web site, which has information that may assist in finding a place near the University. The web site address is www.housing.hawaii.edu/och. There are also links to other sites that have housing listings such as our state daily newspaper. "Other Off-Campus Accommodations" lists several facilities off-campus that rent to students, including private residence halls.

Students, faculty, and staff are required to use their University of Hawaii username to gain access to our listing database. Through our web site you are be able to search listings others have posted with our program, Roommate Available, Roommate Needed, Shared & Vacant Sublets, and Vacant listings.

Click on the link called "Students," then enter your UH username and password in the Web Login Service and this will take you to a menu "search" page. Select the search method that best suits you, for example, "Search Vacant Listings". A hint to searching for a listing is to keep your search requirements broad and select the option listed "Within 30 days". This will maximize the amount of listings returned. When you find a listing that you like, call the landlord directly and work out the details. It is highly recommended that students visit the unit before signing any leases. It is very rare that landlords will form a contract with a tenant "site unseen". You can look up some information on landlord-tenant codes through the link on our web page.

The University of Hawaii does not investigate, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of any listing referrals, the quality of the facility listed or the listed individuals, nor companies and firms listed on our Off-Campus Housing web site. Any agreement you may enter into is solely between or amongst the involved parties. A listing on our web site does not indicate University approval or endorsement of any kind. Also, the Off-Campus Housing Program is unable to secure an apartment on your behalf. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact our office.
