Students in a particularly precarious situation also have the possibility to apply for support from the University's hardship fund. Each application to this hardship fund will be assessed individually against set criteria, and grants are made based on the evidence provided, within the limits of available funding. Further information on the requirements and application procedure can be found here. |
I currently live at a student residence but I want to leave due to COVID-19. What should I do? |
If a student decides to leave the residence definitely and end the rental contract, he or she must inform seve.logement@uni.lu. Contractual notice periods apply for the rent payment. If a student decides to leave temporarily, he or she keeps their room and the contract remains valid. The rent is to be paid normally. For hardship cases please contact seve.logement@uni.lu. |
I will return to my residence or I am a new resident starting my stay. Are there any precaution measures I need to take? |
Newly arriving residents are invited to take a COVID-19 test (free of charge, offered by the University as part of Luxembourg’s large scale testing programme). Residents are asked to monitor their health and in case they show any symptoms of COVID-19 or otherwise do not feel well to self-isolate themselves immediately, call the doctor with whom they are registered here in Luxembourg. If you do not have a doctor, you can use econsult, the remote consulting tool for teleconferencing with a doctor. For further information, check the health and safety rules. |
