National housing and rent rules have changed since you first moved in. If you move to a new room, your new rent may be higher than what you are paying now because of an adjusted point system.

New rent prices for each room will be visible in uh.room.nl after they are confirmed, from 1 May onwards. 

In contrast, if you stay in your current room, your rent can only be adjusted for inflation until the end of your contract.

If you want to move into a 4-person apartment, first discuss this with the students who you would like to live with. After you’ve come to an agreement, please contact housing@auc.nl to share your plan and learn more about your options.

The uh.room.nl allocation system by default only allows same-sex combinations, based on the sex listed in your passport.

If you want to share an apartment with someone whose sex (as listed in their passport) is different from yours, you’ll need to request this. First, make sure you and your potential roommate(s) agree to live in a mixed-sex apartment and then send an email housing@auc.nl so we can arrange this manually.

If your gender identity or expression is a factor in your housing process, please contact the Student Life Officers at studentlifeofficer@auc.nl. They’ll discuss your situation with you confidentially and help you explore your options for a suitable living situation.

Nearly all available rooms will be those of departing third-year students and rooms of students who are leaving AUC before finishing their programme.

Note that not all rooms will be available for internal moves. A number of single rooms are reserved for incoming first-year students with medical conditions.

You cannot move into the room of another first-year student. Rooms of students who are doing an internal move only become available after their move is completed and are not yet visible to other first-years.

Register for the internal move process no later than 31 March 2026. If you do not register, your current contract will stay the same and you will keep your room until the end of your third year.

Pay the internal moving administrative fee of €24,88 no later than 9 April 2026. If you do not pay by this date, you will not be able to participate in the internal move. You will be invited to pay the fee through an email sent to your AUC student email address. The payment is processed through AUC Portal.

On 7 May 2026, you will be able to see all rooms that are available for internal moves in uh.room.nl. Use this time to compare room types, locations and rent, and make a short list of rooms you prefer.

On 8 May 2026 you will be able to select a room between 12:00 and 17:00.

Room selection works on a first-come, first-served basis. You cannot reserve a room in advance. Any eligible student can choose any room that is listed as available in the system.

Once you choose a room and confirm it, your current housing contract’s end date will become 15 July (you can return the keys until 18 July) and a new contract for your new address will be created from 15 July onward.

Once you confirm your choice, you cannot change your room again during the internal move.

By this date you must sign your new housing contract and pay the first month’s rent for your new room. If you do not complete this in time, your new contract will be cancelled.

On 15 July 2026, after 10:00, you can collect the keys for your new room.

There are two ways to arrange this:

1. The departing student returns their keys to DUWO and you collect your new keys from DUWO.
2. You agree directly with the departing student on a time to receive the keys. In that case you must inform DUWO that you have made this arrangement so that they know they do not need to manage the key handover.

Returning keys for your old room

You must return the keys for your old room by 10:00 on 18 July 2026 to the DUWO caretakers in Room 794A, or leave them in the mailbox for 794A. Clearly label your keys with your name and room number.

Before you return the keys, make sure you have moved all your belongings and cleaned and cleared your old room according to DUWO’s instructions as they will perform a room inspection between 18 July and 1 August.
