How does the process of moving in and moving out looks like?
When you have assigned a room in dormitory, you should come during accommodation period, at administration working hours (Monday- Friday; 8am- 3pm), fill out a short form, which can be found on the table in front of the administration room. Having that completed form, you can enter the room, with your ID card (student ID) to get the access to the dormitory's main door. After that, you will receive key to your room, resident's card and the token needed to obtain the access to the internet in your room. When all of formalities are done, you can go to the warehouse on level -1 to take the items in which one you are interested in (lamp, bedding, pillow…)
When you want to move out from your room, you are obliged to clean your room (clean the floor, cabinets, refrigerator, windows, sink). Then you need to go to the administration to take the form. With this paper, you need to catch any cleaning lady who will confirm the cleanliness of your room and sign on the sheet. Then you go to the warehouse lady to give back the items that were borrowed and ask her to sign the documents. If your roommate stays in the room, he/she also has to sign a declaration, confirming that he or she takes responsibility for the cleanliness of the room. Having that done, you should go to the administration to hand in the room pass, pay any arrears, return the key and check out.
If anybody wants to be accommodated during the academic year, this person need to inform the "bank of places”.
If someone wants to check-out during the academic year procedure is the same, but it should be done by the 1st day of the following month, so that you do not have to pay for the following month.
