Housing

VSE provides accommodation in dormitories for all Degree students who apply for it and pay a deposit (see below). Information on this page is relevant for dormitories only. If you are not interested in living in dormitories, you can find accommodation on your own. The International Office does not provide any counselling or help with that due to capacity reasons.

Move in Date

The earliest move-in date for the Fall Semester 2023 is September 7, 2023. For the reservation dates etc., please refer here.

Arrival

Dormitory reservation starts as published on the website of the dormitory. Students will be charged accommodation fee from the earliest move-in date even if they move in later. Students can move in only in office hours of the dormitory. Contact the dormitory manager at least 24 hours before your arrival by email. If you are planning to arrive during weekend, please make sure, that the dormitory manager is informed about your arrival in advanced Friday morning the latest. Contacts for dormitory managers for each of the dormitory buildings can be found on dormitories’ website.

Students are obliged to visit the dormitory manager as soon as possible after the arrival to arrange all necessary formalities. Please, note that the dormitory manager is only available during his/her office hours (see below)! For more information see dormitories’ website.

Early Arrival / Late Departure

There is a possibility to move in before the earliest move-in date for Degree students or move out after the day stated in your Accommodation Agreement.

If you are coming during summer holidays, let the Central Accommodation Office (ubytovani@vse.cz) know at least 7 days in advance. You may not receive the room you will be living during the semester, so you might have to move in to another.

If you are moving out after the day stated in the Accommodation Agreement, you need to let the Central Accommodation Office (ubytovani@vse.cz) know by email by the end of November (for Fall Semester) OR April (for Spring Semester). It might happen that you wouldn’t receive the same room as during the semester and thus you would have to move in to another one.
