Applying for housing through the AU Housing Service

As a new Erasmus Mundus or executive MBA student to Aarhus University, the AU housing office can find accommodation in Aarhus for you.  If you wish to choose this option, please read about the application process below.

Please follow these steps:

1. Read the terms and conditions of housing and check the deadlines.
2. Decide whether you want to use the AU housing service or if it is better for you to find housing on your own in Aarhus.
3. Fill in your online housing application. In order to do this, you first have to create an account in the Self-service system and next you can find and fill in the online housing application. Find directions on creating a Self-service account here. Go to the Self-service system. 
4. At the housing application form your housing period will be predetermined depending on your status as either MBA student or Erasmus Mundus student. It is unfortunately not possible to choose other housing periods.
5. You will recieve an email from the housing office when we have allocated you a room. You can expect the email around 15.5.-1.7.
6. When you have received the email, you must confirm acceptance of the offered lease in the student self service system. You will find information about most housing offers here. If you can’t find information about the place you have been allocated you can contact housing@adm.au.dk
7. If you are allocated a room in a residence or a shared facility house, after confirming acceptance of the offer, you do not have to do anything further until you arrive in Aarhus. After arrival you can collect your key, contract and invoice (for the first month’s rent and deposit) at the International Centre.
8. If you are offered a room to sublet, you must contact the landlord as soon as possible, sign the leasing contract and transfer the first month’s rent and deposit to the landlord’s bank account.  You must arrange how and when to collect the keys with the landlord.
9. If you need to cancel your accommodation, you must contact housing@adm.au.dk immediately. If you cancel your accommodation more than 6 weeks before your leasing contract starts, we will cancel your contract without any costs. If there is less than six weeks until the start of your leasing contract, we will send you an invoice for 1-2 month’s rent depending on the specific leasing contract. There are no exceptions to this, meaning that the housing office is NOT responsible for eventual delays in your visa-application, withdrawal from your study programme, your eventual health problems or whatever reason for your delay or necesarry cancellation, and you will therefore be billed for cancellations made later than 6 weeks before your contract starts for WHATEVER REASON you have to cancel.
10. After arrival, make sure that you sign your leasing contract and hand it in to the IC (unless you have been allocated a room to sublet, in which case you need to send the signed leasing contract to the landlord before arrival.) You also need to pay the invoice for the rent and deposit. You can find the payment due date on the invoice.
