UCT will resume all academic activities on Monday after the Table Mountain fire that affected large parts of the university's upper campus.
UCT spokesperson Elijah Moholola says most students returned to their residences on Thursday, except for students from Fuller Hall and Smuts Hall, which were badly damaged by the fires.
Around 4,000 students had to evacuate their rooms when the fire spread on Sunday last week. They were provided with temporary accommodation at hotel groups across the city.
Moholola says students have been offered counselling support as they try to adjust to campus life after the devastating fire.
