Applications for the winter semester are accepted from the beginning of the previous summer semester (from the 1st of April till the 31st of July).
Even if you have not yet received the final admission to the university, you should still apply for a hostel room early, because the processing of the applications takes place in the order of the date of receipt. Naturally, you can still resign from the room offer later on.
 Allocation of the hostel rooms
First, a confirmation about the registration of your application is sent by the Student Services to you (using the enclosed addressed and prepaid envelope or by e-mail). Then, in August/September or February/March, you are notified of the reservation of your desired hostel room or you receive an alternative room offer. With this letter, you will also be informed of the deadline to which the tenancy agreement with the Student Services is to be signed.
The deposit is paid either directly via credit transfer or at the cash-desk in the office building of the Student Services.
I have not received a room offer yet
If you have not been informed of your hostel room reservation, you should take advantage of any rooms that have not yet been claimed. This period starts approximately three weeks before the semester begins. Please contact the Student Services in Chemnitz or Zwickau directly.
And finally: the moving in
Moving into our hostel rooms is possible from Monday up to Friday (except for holidays) during the office hours of the Student Services. The key can be received from your caretaker.
Please make sure to bring a blanket, pillow, bed linen, curtains and cookware for yourself. Also you should label your letter box as soon as possible, so that your post arrives to you as well.
Everyone who moves into a new flat or room must register with the authorities of the respective town within the first two weeks, even if the student hostel is only a second residence for study purposes. The identity card or travel passport and the tenancy agreement will be required. Further information can be found here.
Please do not forget the registration of your radio and television with the GEZ (charge collection head office). Further information can be found here.
