How to contact Dormitory Council of Residents (RM)?
Form 2.0

How does the process of moving in and moving out looks like?
Moving in: We go to the administration counter with the ID. Mrs. Małgosia places the info in the system and issues the keys and a card with which you can borrow items from the repository. You can also get the internet token there. Then we go to the segment to check if there is a kitchen stove and curtains in the room, and leave the things. The next step is to go to the repository with the card, leave it there, and borrow the things we need.
Attention! Even if we do not borrow anything from the repository, it should be left there, because it will be needed when moving out.
The last step is to get a magnetic resident card for the front door. To do this, you need to:
1. Provide a photo with a clearly visible face, on a white background!
Tip: You can download your photo from USOS (my USOSweb -> User information -> my profile page)
2. Send an e-mail to sekretariat.zaczek@pw.edu.pl with a photo in the attachment and the name and surname in the e-mail.
The title of the e-mail should preferably contain the words “Resident's card". For example:
"[Resident's card] Application for a card - Name and surname"
3. After receiving the response, come in person to pick up the card.
Waiting time is approximately one week.
Moving out: We go to the administration office for the clearance slip and collect the following signatures (preferably in this order):
1. Roommates: Confirmation of settlement with roommates,
2. Repository: Returning the borrowed items,
3. Cleaners: Passing the cleanliness check in the room when you move out,
Tip: Checked items are listed on leaflet hung on information boards and elevators
4. Administration: Financial settlement with DS, returning the keys and resident's card
