Processing of residence applications
Only complete applications and those with a validated email address are processed; incomplete applications and those with an unvalidated email address expire after a certain period and are automatically rejected.
Rental applications are processed according to availability. Availability is subject to change and is difficult to predict from one year to the next.
- If you are offered a room, you will receive an email inviting you to continue the reservation process. If you do not respect the deadline, your room will be offered to someone else.
- If no room is available at the time your application is processed, it will remain on hold until new availability becomes available.
- If your application remains pending for a certain period, you will be invited by email to reconfirm your interest. This allows us to ensure that pending applications are still valid and to better inform individuals about their chances of obtaining a place in residence.
Deposit
A deposit is required when you are offered a room. It is part of the reservation process and is essential to accept the offer.
