Housing Queue

The Housing Queue

The housing queue is active during the entire application period, and is used to determine whose application for housing is processed first. All applicants for housing must register an account, join the queue and then actively apply for available accommodation, as it is published in batches.

Once you have applied for available accommodation, and the deadline has passed, LU Accommodation will process all applications to that specific batch of available accommodation. The application in first position will be processed first, and will be given the highest available accommodation, following their ranked preferences. Then the next highest application will be processed, and so on.

How to apply for available accommodation

Queue Position

Your position in the housing queue is determined by two factors; your student priority group and your application date (the date and time you joined the housing queue). Your position will be visible in each batch of available housing you apply to. Please note that your position can change as students with higher priority apply for the batch, and therefore qualify in a higher queue position.

The final queue position is determined after the last date to apply for a specific batch of available housing.

Student Priority Groups

There are three different student priority groups (Guaranteed, Prioritized and Regular), and applications will be prioritized in descending order. That means that all Guaranteed applications, that have been submitted within the application period, will be processed first, then all Prioritized applications, and lastly all Regular applications.

Please note that if you join the queue after the application period has closed you will not receive any guarantee or priority, and your application will be treated as having standard priority.
