Procedure

To qualify for these rooms, you must fill the form ‘Looking for accommodation’.

Having indicated (in the form) to be interested in a room via a housing corporation, you will receive an email from the Avans International Office with instructions on how to book a room.

Early July / December you will receive an (automatically generated) email from the booking system, containing login and booking instructions. Through this email you can log on to the booking page and book a room, if there are still rooms available.

Once you have booked a room you will have 48 hours to make the payment. In case you have not within this time, you will lose your booking and the room will become available for other students to book via the website.  

Be aware that there will be more interested students than rooms to book, so rooms will be allocated via a ‘first come, first serve’ base.

Terms and conditions 

  • Bachelor/Master students: the tenancy period will be 1 academic year. 
  • Exchange students studying at Avans for 1 semester: the tenancy period will be that semester.
  • Exchange students studying at Avans for 2 semesters: renting for a full academic year will only be possible when you are officially accepted for both exchange programmes when booking the room in July.
  • The tenancy period is not flexible: Your rental agreement will start in the introduction week and has a set - unnegotiable - end date. It is not possible to terminate the contract before the end date.
