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 our University established case the work placement.
- Applying doesn't mean that you automatically will have a room: the number of rooms available is limited.
- When choosing a double room or a duo studio to share with a friend, both students need to apply and fill in their friend's name as ‘roommate’.
- We also recommend you to look on the private market for a room.
- The registration for a room at Artevelde UAS is without obligation. However, once you sign the rental agreement, it becomes a legally binding document. You can only terminate your tenancy agreement during the academic year if the grounds thereto are provided in your rental agreement, e.g. because you stop studying in your home institution. Be sure to read the rental agreement carefully before you sign it.
