By submitting an application for housing in Kortrijk or Roeselare, you accept the general terms and conditions for housing of VIVES University of Applied Sciences. Read the complete terms and condition for renting carefully here:

  1. As we only have a limited number of rooms for exchange students, the rooms will be provided to students who accomplished the initial payment. We will use the dates of the initial payment to make a fair list. Students who applied too late (no more VIVES rooms available), will have to search for a room on their own. In this situation the housing officer can help you with addresses of rooms. In the period you don't have your own room, you will have to stay in a hotel or a youth hostel (costs are for the student).
  2. Please note that the agreed term cannot be changed during the tenancy.
  3. If possible, please arrange to arrive on weekdays, between 9am and 5pm; if this proves to be impossible, please make arrangements with your study area coordinator.
  4. The security deposit (€ 250,00) can only be reimbursed by bank transfer. Transaction costs will be charged to your account.
  5. Candidates who are allocated a room in one of the participating residence halls are expected to respect the house rules, thus ensuring order an security.
  6. Payment of the deposit (€ 250,00)  constitutes acceptance of these general terms and conditions. The € 250,00 will be held as a security deposit and will be reimbursed to you after your stay, provided that the room, the common places and the furniture are clean and undamaged (excluding normal wear and tear). Note that students arriving after the agreed date will not be entitled to any refund of rent.
  7. Rooms can be rented only for the following fixed periods: First semester: from September 1st 2023 till January 28th 2024, Second semester: from February 3rd 2024 till June 25th 2023 or First AND second semester: from September 1st 2023 till June 25th 2024.
