Receiving login details & booking the room

If you have been selected (by the programme coordinator) you will receive an email from International Office mid-June, or mid-November for summer semester. 

On the first Monday of July, or December for summer semester, you will receive an (automatically generated) email from the booking system containing instructions on how to log on and how to book accommodation. Using the instructions in this email you will be able to log into the booking system, see the available rooms and book a room. 

Once booked you will have 48 hours to make the payment. After these 48 hours you will lose your booking and the room will be available for other students again on the website.  

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.
