In most cases, you don\u2019t need to have everything sorted out yet. Many dorms know that around graduation, the start of your studies, or moving to a new city, things are still changing and so they tend to be quite flexible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At STUWO student residences, you can even apply without being officially enrolled yet. For example, if you\u2019re about to start a program that requires<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a high school diploma or university entrance qualification.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re also welcome if you\u2019ve already finished your studies and are just starting your career or working on developing a start-up. Often, you only need proof of enrollment when you move in and not when you apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, student dorms are open to many people:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students at universities and universities of applied sciences<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erasmus and exchange students who are only in the city for one or two semesters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exceptions usually apply to HTL, HAK, or HASCH students (under 18 with parental consent)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most student dorms don\u2019t have an upper age limit, though the exact rules can vary from place to place.

In situations like these, it\u2019s important to know that withdrawals and cancellations are subject to different time rules.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At STUWO student residences, there is a 14-day free withdrawal period after signing the contract, provided the contract was concluded at least three months before the planned move-in date. If you cancel later, one or two months\u2019 rent may apply, depending on the timing. If you\u2019re unable to start your studies for valid reasons, for example, if you didn\u2019t pass your final exams, usually only one month\u2019s rent is charged. However, if you cancel for other reasons at very short notice or only after the contract has already started, the contractually agreed notice period of three months generally applies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-8ol9tqs-bdc256e8602deb9c9aff4d58a7777297\">\n.flex_column.av-8ol9tqs-bdc256e8602deb9c9aff4d58a7777297{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-8ol9tqs-bdc256e8602deb9c9aff4d58a7777297 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mlo70ovd-08641660fc8266d26721730111ce1aab '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Extension Deadlines<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already live in a student accommodation and want to extend your annual contract, make sure not to miss the application deadline for extension in spring.

Once you know how the application process works, you\u2019ll be well prepared and can tick off each step one by one without stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1: Apply online<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application is submitted online via the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/reservation.stuwo.at\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">STUWO booking portal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There, you choose which student accommodation you\u2019d like to apply for. If you\u2019re applying for a student dorm in Vienna, you also have the option to tick the box \u201cI\u2019m also interested in other residences.\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your preferred residence is already full, this allows you to automatically receive offers from other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/dormitories\/vienna\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">STUWO student residences in Vienna<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: Confirmation and Waiting List<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After submitting your application, you\u2019ll get an automatic confirmation email. Then you\u2019re added to the waiting list based on when your application came in. One important tip: only apply once. Sending multiple applications will push you to the back of the list and can make your wait longer than necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3: Offer and Acceptance<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as a suitable room becomes available, you\u2019ll receive an offer right away. From that point on, things usually move pretty quickly. Once you accept the offer, the contract is signed first, followed by payment of the deposit. The deposit is \u20ac750 or a maximum of twice the monthly rent. You\u2019ll also need to set up a SEPA direct debit mandate. If you don\u2019t have a bank account in an EU or EFTA country, you\u2019ll need to open an account in Austria. After that, your move-in date is arranged so the key handover can be scheduled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4: Move-in Day<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On move-in day, you\u2019ll get a short introduction. This usually includes picking up your keys, a quick tour of the accommodation, and signing the inventory list. You\u2019ll receive your keys directly from the resident managers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important: don\u2019t forget your \u201cMeldezettel\u201d (registration form). In Austria, registration is mandatory, which means you have to register your address with the authorities within three days of moving in. For this, you\u2019ll need the residence management\u2019s signature.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-21duyogk-4e97ebe8aa73b68a017b827dcf5977a4\">\n.flex_column.av-21duyogk-4e97ebe8aa73b68a017b827dcf5977a4{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 30px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-21duyogk-4e97ebe8aa73b68a017b827dcf5977a4 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-28  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mlo75fdk-8c31c825ef6817926e57e6f47b6f0765 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that\u2019s it &#8211; your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/living-in-student-accommodation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">life in a student accommodation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can officially begin!
