Accommodations

 

 

 

TCZ has a limited number of on-campus housing units which include two-bedroom

chalets for married couples and families, and chalets for single students (who share

accommodations). Priority for on-campus housing is given first to international students, then to students who are coming to the College from outside Bulawayo, and finally to students from Bulawayo who desire to live on campus.

 

The chalets are complete with basic furnishings, such as tables and chairs, beds and

mattresses. Students provide their own linen, blankets, pillows, towels, etc. Students should not bring furniture to campus with them. Students who wish to bring computers, CD players, televisions, or similar equipment are advised that the College assumes no liability for breakage or theft. Students are responsible for their own tv/radio licenses.

 

Application for on-campus accommodation is made at the time of submitting the initial application for study. Please note that there is no guarantee of on-campus accommodation, especially if the request is not made prior to October 15. (Normally on-campus accommodation is not available to Honours students)

 

Also, please note that no accommodation is available for domestic staff or childminders in the on-campus student accommodations. No overnight guests are permitted in student accommodations. However, limited guest accommodation may be available on campus.

 

Catering/Cooking        

 

TCZ has self-catering facilities for students residing on campus. Each chalet has a kitchen with cooking facilities and storage space, with access to a refrigerator. Students provide their own plates, cutlery, pots, and pans, buy their own food and cook their own meals. The College serves a daily tea in the mornings for students, staff, and faculty.

 

Families on Campus

 

Married students are encouraged to bring their spouse and children to TCZ (if possible, at the beginning of the academic year). However, since on-campus accommodations for families have only two bedrooms, students should normally not plan on having more than three young children living on campus. Families with four or five children, or families with children older than 16, will need to find off-campus accommodation.

 

Spouses may audit classes at no charge. In addition, the College is developing a

Women’s Ministry particularly designed for the wives of TCZ students. The emerging

Women’s Ministry Study Programme includes introductory biblical and theological studies as well as a focus on developing parenting and leadership skills, in order to facilitate a partner-ing with their husbands in effective ministry.

 

Medical

 

Provision for medical insurance and payments of all medical expenses (including

medically-related transportation) are the sole responsibility of the student and/or student sponsor. Bulawayo is served by private and public ambulance firms, hospitals, clinics, and physicians. There are no medical services provided by the College.

 

Work Programme

 

TCZ offers a limited amount of on-campus work to students to help with school fees.

Normally no student may work more than six hours a week during an academic term and no more than thirty hours per week during term break. Students interested in participating in this work programme are requested to make application once the term begins. Financial need will be one of the primary criteria for employment. Note: this is supplemental income and will not be sufficient to cover all the tuition and school fees. Also, there is no guarantee that on-campus work will be available to everyone who applies.
