FAQ

If you are are student included in our main assignment from the university, you will receive information from your department at Uppsala University with more instructions about the application for housing. You will also receive a registration code from us by e-mail just before the application period opens. This code gives you access to our regular application period for housing.

Application period is open May 15^th to 31^st for the fall semester and November 15^th to 30^th for the spring semester.

Our assignment is to provide accommodation to Formal exchange students, Fee paying program students and some groups of scholarship holders.

Please contact your department at Uppsala University or click the button below for more information.

Send us an email with the changes that you would like to make in your application. Send your e-mail to info@housingoffice.se.

If you are applying for accommodation in Uppsala, you can fill in your three preferred residential areas directly in your application. Please note that we do not guarantee an offer in one of the areas you have chosen but if possible, we will meet your request.

If you are applying for accommodation in Visby you can unfortunately not fill in your preferences in the application.

If there are special circumstances we need to take into consideration when allocating an accommodation, please send an e-mail to info@housingoffice.se after completing your housing application, describing your requirements.

We generally only send one housing offer per applicant. If you choose to decline the offer you are not guaranteed any more housing offers through our office.

UUHO only offers full-term contracts with fixed start- and end dates. However, should you have academic reasons for a different contracted period, UUHO will try to meet your request. Contracts can only be set for full calendar months, except in August, January and June when the University semesters start and end.

For example a requested stay from September 18^th – November 7^th will mean that you get a contract and pay rent for three full months, September 1^st – November 30^th, if UUHO is able to offer you a such a contract.

Note: We prioritize applications for full semesters over shorter stays.

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in any of our accommodations.

Unfortunately we have very limited posibilities to arrange accommodation for students traveling with a partner or family. Most of our rooms are strictly for single tenancy and we cannot allow more than one person to stay in these rooms.

If you are planing to bring your partner or family, please send an e-mail to inform us and we will see if there is any suitable accommodation available. However, we recommend you to also search for housing elsewhere. A good start is to check out studentboet, where you can find private adds as well as guides and tips on how to find accommodation in Uppsala. You can also consider traveling to Sweden alone and bring your family at a later date when you have managed to find suitable accommodation.

We do not have any shared rooms. All tenants rent a private room or apartment. Corridor rooms share facilities such as kitchen, common room and/or bathrooms between the tenants of the corridor.

We have “miniature corridors” in some residential areas, where only two tenants share facilities. We prioritize to place applicants who have requested to stay together in these. If you want to stay in the same corridor as a friend you can e-mail us the request. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to place you together.

A “student corridor” is a traditional Swedish student accommodation form. In a student corridor you have your own private bedroom but share kitchen and sometimes other facilities with 3-12 other tenants.

The word “student corridor” derives from the fact that the bedrooms typically lie along a corridor with the shared facilities either in the middle or at the ends of the corridor.

Students included in our main assignment will typically be offered a contract that covers their study period.

We are sending out the codes continuously after we have received information from your department, but typically you can expect to receive it during May-June or November-December. Remember to keep an eye on your spam folder during this period, in case the e-mail with the registration code ends up there.

If you are not included in our assignment, you will not receive a registration code.

Most likely you have an old account registered on My Pages. Please send an email to info@housingoffice.se and we will help you to deactivate the old account.

We are sending out housing offers continuously after the application period closes until there are no more applicants or no more rooms available.
