LU Accommodation sent out housing offers yesterday (4 July) and today (5 July), and have now sent out offers for all available accommodations. All applicants in the queue should have received an update via e-mail.
If an applicant has not received an offer at this time, the chances are very low that we will be able to offer any housing. More than ever, it is high time to search for housing through other means, with AF Bostäder's lottery the main option.
Housing offers
All applicants who have received an offer have until Monday 8 July to respond. After accepting the contract, applicants also need to sign the digital contract, which will be sent to your registered e-mail address from our provider Scrive.
Please note that all notifications from the system are sent to the e-mail address registered in your housing account. If you applied using your LU Student Account, this means the registered e-mail address is most probably your LU Student e-mail.
About the LU Student e-mail account
If an applicant does not respond to the offer, or sign the digital contract, the offer will be withdrawn next week, and sent to the next person in the queue. Please note that if you accept the offer and sign the contract, you may cancel the contract before 31 July free of charge.
Future batches
We will keep sending offers within the second batch for a couple of weeks, and if we receive a significant amount of cancellations, we may publish a third batch of housing in late July. We cannot predict the amount or type of housing that would be included in this batch. All applicants in the queue will be notified when the next batch is published.
AF Bostäder Lottery
On 11 July AF Bostäder begin their lottery for newly admitted students. This is one of the best opportunities to secure housing at this point. To participate you need to do the following:
- Join studentlund
- Make a housing application 11-13 July
The resulting queue position of the lottery is published during 14 July, and you will then be able to book available housing.
Please note that if you already have housing with LU Accommodation, you are still welcome to participate in the lottery. If you do find housing via AF Bostäder before 31 July, you can contact LU Accommodation and cancel your contract, as long as the cancellation is received before 1 August.

Personal code
In the last step of making an AF Bostäder housing application, you must state a Swedish Personal Identity Number. If you don't have a Swedish Personal Identity Number, tick the box "Missing Swedish Personal Identity Number" and enter your birthdate and personal code instead. This is where you find it:
- Degree program students find your “Personal code no.” at universityadmissions.se under My Applications in the Notification of Selection Results PDF file.
- Accepted exchange students will in early July receive an email from Lund University including their personal code, in the form of yyyymmdd - P123.
Only personal codes with the letters P, R, S, T, U, and W are accepted in AF Bostäder's housing queue system. If you have not yet received a personal code or if it has a different letter, please contact your coordinator at Lund University.
