What are the general accommodation rules?

Offences such smoking, gambling, bad behaviour and vandalism (as stipulated in the Student Handbook provided upon check-in) are STRICTLY PROHIBITED and will lead to penalties, fines or even eviction. Residents caught fighting, stealing, possessing or consuming illegal drugs or alcohol will be asked to leave the premises IMMEDIATELY and they shall be reported to the proper authorities.


Why was Prepaid Air Conditioning implemented?
We discovered that an increasing number of residents tend to leave electrical appliances running, particularly their air conditioner and even when they are not in their room. The consistent dampness in the room encouraged the growth of mold and mildew along the walls and ceilings, which raised maintenance issues. Prolonged exposure could also lead to health problems in the long run.


Will residents be given complimentary hours for air conditioning usage?
THM will be providing 180 complimentary hours of air conditioning usage. Once residents’ usage exceeds this amount, residents will need to top up to continue using their air conditioning. Residents are therefore advised to practice moderation and to use the ceiling fan to supplement their usage.


Will residents be refunded for any unused hours for air conditioning?
Only unused hours gained from top ups are eligible for refund upon check out. Unused complimentary hours are not refundable nor exchangeable for cash.


How much should I top up?
Top-ups are available in RM10, RM20, and RM50 denominations. Each top-up of RM10.00 will provide roughly 25 hours’ worth of air conditioning usage.


Where can I top up? And what should I bring?
Top ups are available at the Prepaid Kiosk or at the Helpdesk. Bring your Resident ID card and exact change.
