The most important dormitory issues of the academic year of 2023/2024 are the followings:
The students can decide whether the dormitory is appropriate for them up to 15 days after moving in. If they decide to stay, they have to pay the dormitory fee for every month of the rest of the term. The 15 day grace period only applies to students who move in until 15th September. Those who move in later, will have less time to give a notification and they need to decide and to move out at the end of September the latest. If someone moves in after September, he/she has to pay the dormitory fee for the full term, no probation period is given in this case.
The dormitory placement is for the full academic year, which consists of 10 months.
Moving from one dormitory to another can only be performed with the special permission of the head of dormitory (or the person entitled in charge).
The student admitted to the dormitory has to pay a cultural contribution (7,000 HUF) through the Neptun system, with which they contribute to the cost of programmes organized in the dormitory and can participate in them for free. Also, they are to pay a sum of 7,000 HUF to cover the cost of any necessary fixing and damage (e.g. replacement of broken washbasin, fixing a microwave, or replacing it, etc.) or whitewash. These amounts need to be paid only once a year by the student, it is not covered by the scholarship. The payment deadline is the 8th day after moving in
The dormitory fee in case of the mentioned dormitories with three bed room placements will be covered by the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship for the scholarship students, so the accommodation support will be transferred to the dormitories and the students do not need to pay any extra apart from the above mentioned items.
The student has to reimburse any damage caused according to the damage fee chart given to them at the time of moving in.
The student can move in the dormitory only in case they accept the conditions, rules and regulations for fire and labour safety, IT rules and guest hosting rules.
