Living on campus

There is a difference in the way that self-contained rooms and apartments are allocated and the way that rooms in accommodation groups are allocated. In the ‘Rooms’ section of the website you can see the rooms currently available. Acasa does not work with waiting lists. So you have to keep an eye on the Acasa website to see whether a room is available. To apply for a room you need to be registered. Click here to register.

To apply for a self-contained room or apartment
Self-contained rooms and apartments are allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. To apply for a self-contained room or apartment, you have to reserve the room or apartment online and pay the first rent bill via the online payment system. To secure the room or apartment you have to go to the Acasa counter to sign the Tenancy Agreement and pick up the keys.

To apply for a room in an accommodation group
Rooms in accommodation groups are allocated on the basis of cooptation. This means that if you want to apply for a room in one of the accommodation groups, you have to go and meet the members of the accommodation group and hopefully make a good impression. The other students living in the accommodation group will decide whether they want you to join them, in which case at least half of the members of the accommodation group must vote in favour.

The rooms in accommodation groups that are currently available are also shown in the ‘Rooms’ section of the website. If you would like to apply for a room in one of the accommodation groups, you yourself have to contact the accommodation group.

Click here for a list of telephone numbers and a map of the campus.

If you are accepted by the accommodation group, the contact person for the group will send you a unique registration link by email so you can secure the room online. (This registration link has replaced the Signature list formerly used.) You then go through the same procedure to secure the room. In other words, you pay the first rent bill via the online payment system then go to the Acasa counter to sign the Tenancy Agreement and pick up the keys.

Are you looking for furnished housing? Please contact International Office Housing or have a look at their website.

The first rent bill
When you reserve a room online you also have to pay the first rent bill online. Our online payment system offers several payment options. The first rent bill consists of the rent that applies from the date on which the room becomes available through to the end of the month, plus the cost of reserving the room. If you accept a room after the 19th of the month, the rent for the following month will be included in the first rent bill.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call our Accommodation Department on 053 489 4000 or send an email to wonen@acasa.nl.
