Rental period
The rental period starts on Monday, September 14, 2026 and ends on Tuesday, September 7, 2027.
As a degree-seeking student, you can only rent for a maximum of one academic year. This has been implemented to give new degree-seeking students a chance to find housing. Furthermore, this helps reduce the risk of scamming, which tends to be higher when searching for housing on the private market from abroad. Once you have settled into one of our student residences, finding housing on the private market for the next academic years becomes easier and safer.

When to apply?
Degree-seeking students can apply for housing starting Monday, April 27, 2026 at 12 p.m. local time. From April 27 until May 6, we are ensuring that all students can apply for a room in our student houses, regardless of their time zone.
After May 6 you can still apply but you will be placed on a waiting list. From then on out, the ‘First come, first served’ -principle will be used.
Note: You do not need to be enrolled at the moment of your registration. However you must have already started your application with admissions. You do need to be enrolled by the start of your rental period.
Apply for a room
Step 1: Check if you can rent through Artevelde UAS
- You are enrolled/will enroll for at least 27 credits in an undergraduate or graduate program at Artevelde UAS;
- You are eligible for child benefits or have not yet reached the age of 25 at the time of your registration as a potential resident;
- You are a first-year degree-seeking student;
- You agree to the house rules:
House rules Savaan/Bagatten/Poort/Sint-Anna house
House rules Ter Plaeten Upkot
You don't need to be enrolled at Artevelde UAS at the moment of your registration. However, you must have already started your application with admissions. You do need to be enrolled by the start of your rental period.
Step 2: Apply for a room
Are you ready for your next adventure in an Artevelde University of Applied Sciences dorm? Click the button below to apply online and submit your housing preferences.
Starting from May 7 2026 we will contact students with a room offer. If you haven’t received any news by May 20, we recommend you to take a look at the private housing market in Ghent.
Step 3: Sign and pay the deposit
If a room is allocated, you will be asked to sign the housing contract and house rules, and pay a deposit of €600 plus one month of rental fee. Only then the room is reserved for you. If you have difficulties paying the full amount at once, please contact us at housing@arteveldehs.be.
Important
The application is only available for students studying at our University or for students coming on a work placement for a term in which case the work placement was established by our University.
Applying does not mean that you automatically will have a room: the number of rooms available is limited.
The registration for a room at Artevelde UAS is without obligation. However, once you sign the rental agreement, it becomes a legally binding document.
When choosing a double room or a duo studio to share with a friend, both students need to apply and need to fill in the name of their friend as ‘roommate’.
We would like to emphasize that degree-seeking students can only rent for a maximum of one academic year.
We also recommend you to look on the private market for a room.
Step 4: Check your eligibility for the accommodation grant
You may be eligible for an accomodation grant if you meet all four of the following conditions:
- You are a degree-seeking student.
- Your rental contract covers a period of at least eight months.
- You meet all the requirements to receive a scholarship, partial scholarship, or non-scholarship status from the Flemish Government - with a household income of no more than €7,500 above the maximum income limit for a standard student grant.
- You are not officially registered at your student accommodation address (exception: students receiving a living wage).
You can apply for the 2026-2027 accommodation grant from 12 November 2026 to 1 June 2027. You have until the end of June 2027 to complete your application.
