Should the student amass unpaid debt, they will not receive final documentation (e.g. Transcript of Records, Attendance Certificate, Confirmation of Study etc.).

Early termination of the contract is possible only if:

  • you end your studies at our university,
  • you settle the remaining accommodation fees,
  • or you find a replacement for yourself.

If you choose to terminate the contract due to ending your studies at our university, you have to notify the dormitory manager in writing and submit a confirmation issued by our university.
