Departure information for Exchange & Masters students

Before you leave there are some things you need to do. Here is a check list.

Note 

The last day of semester is not always the same as last day of rental agreement. See dates here.

Housing is not able to let you stay longer than the agreement. 

We’ve truly enjoyed having you here! As your stay comes to an end, here are some important reminders to help you prepare for your departure. Please read through the information carefully to ensure a smooth move-out process.

The final date of your rental period is stated in the rental agreement you signed upon arrival. If you plan to leave earlier, that’s perfectly fine. However, if you need to stay beyond your rental period, you will need to arrange alternative accommodation.

Exams on your departure day? If you have an exam scheduled on the day you are leaving, please contact the Housing Office to check if we can store your luggage during the exam.

Sort your waste carefully according to the designated bins to help protect the environment and save space in the garbage rooms.

What can be left in the apartment/room?
All items provided in the apartment must remain.
You may leave hangers in closets and curtains in windows, provided they are clean and in good condition.

Leftover cleaning products may be placed in the shared cleaning cupboards.

What Cannot Be Left in the Apartment/Room?

  • Any items that were not present upon your arrival must be removed.
  • Secondhand items acquired during your stay must be taken with you.
