About TuksRes
In October 2004, the Council of the University of Pretoria made an executive decision to streamline all the various functions related to residences under one business unit. This was to alleviate the various silos that existed all over campus and therefore the Department of Residence Affairs and Accommodation (TuksRes) was born.The offices of TuksRes are situated at 90 Duxbury Road, Hatfield, Pretoria.
Vision: to offer an on-campus living environment that supports each student’s academic experience at the University of Pretoria.
Mission: to strive towards creating a community that fosters safety/security,personal development/growth and the rendering of professional services. We are furthermore committed to be responsive to the needs of all residents and to be driven by the ideal of realising a better quality of student life in our residences.
