Guaranteed students

Guaranteed students who fulfil the terms and conditions for the housing guarantee will be offered the possibility to extend their contract into the next semester or academic year.

Other students

Students who do not fulfil the terms and conditions of the housing guarantee will not be offered to extend to into the next academic year. That means that you are not allowed to extend from Spring semester into Autumn semester since the influx of new students during autumn semester is very large.

However, they are normally allowed to extend from Autumn semester to the end of Spring semester since there are not as many new students arriving during spring.
