Check in at AUAS housing

If you've arranged housing through AUAS, our housing partners will personally welcome you to your new home.

Most rental contracts of AUAS Housing will start on Friday 16 August 2024. From this day on, you can move in. Some housing partners offer a room check-in service directly at your new address, while other providers hand out the room keys near the location of your new address or at their office.

Your housing provider will inform you about the details in due time. You can also check the details here:

Things to be aware of:

  • You must collect your room key in person. This cannot be done by someone else.
  • More and more housing providers do no longer hand out keys, but offer keyless rooms (access by an app on your mobile phone). Your housing provider will inform you about this if this is the case for your room. Check-in at a keyless room is possible from 3pm on 16 August 2024, not any sooner on that day. 
  • Announce your arrival date and time at your housing provider (links above).
  • Changed travel plans or delays? Inform your housing provider (links above).
  • Key pick up is possible during specific hours. You might need to stay in a hostel or hotel at your own expenses if you arrive outside of these hours (at night or during the weekend).
  • Most buildings offer Resident Assistants or an active (online) community. Check with the housing provider for details. 
  • Familiarise yourself with official rules for waste collection in the Netherlands. Check this waste guide(opens in new window) made by students. 
  • Don't be strangers! Introduce yourself to your new neighbours, attend events to get to know other people and join social media groups of your building or floor.
