Finding the perfect room has never been easier:
- The overview shows all student dormitories in the selected city as well as the amenities of these homes.
- Choosing an Akademikerhilfe dormitory - the description and details of that home will be shown as well as all information about the rooms.
- The prices are valid for stays of three months or longer. For shorter stays (minimum 11 nights) a higher daily rate will be charged.
- The rooms that correspond to the respective wishes and requirements can be saved without obligation in a watch list in order to select them later from the favorites and send an inquiry in the last step.
- Therefore a click on the "Registration" button is sufficient and the requested data can be filled in. With the payment of the registration fee of € 20,- the registration process is completed.
- As soon as we can offer a free place the applicant will receive an offer from our student services team. The applicant will then have a few days to make a commitment. With the creation of a SEPA direct debit mandate in our favor and the successful debiting of the processing fee the contract of use is considered accepted. (Likewise with the receipt of processing fee and deposit in case of a bank transfer).
The registration fee is charged for the initial administrative effort of the registration. It amounts € 20,- and has to be paid directly in the course of the registration (Visa, Eurocard/Mastercard, bank transfer) and is non-refundable. The payment does not include any legal claim to a subsequent offer of contract or the conclusion of a contract.
Akademikerhilfe supports a leave of absence for the period of a stay abroad. This can be applied for by the student and will be approved if possible. Akademikerhilfe reserves the right to reject the application for leave of absence depending on the availability of places (especially in the case of a return during the semester). A leave of absence must be applied for (like a normal termination) at least 2 months before the planned departure at the Student Service. A leave of absence is only granted for the full month on the basis of the university confirmation.
In the case of a leave of absence no usage fee is due during this time. The room must be vacated and upon return a room will be provided by Akademikerhilfe. Upon return neither a specific residence nor a specific price or room category can be guaranteed.
In general you have to bring your own bedding and bed linen.
Both (own bedding and bed linen) can also be pre-ordered in the course of the contract acceptance or - if in stock - also purchased on site (please clarify the stock with the home management in time).
The final cleaning fee is charged for the final cleaning of the room, the bathroom unit and kitchen. It is incurred for every room change or move out. Generally this fee is offset against the deposit when you move out or billed in the month when you change rooms.
If you would like to move in earlier, please contact your residence manager for daily bookings or the Studentservice Department for monthly rebookings. You can find the contact details under the item ‘Contact’ for the respective residences.
As soon as it has been clarified if the booked and allocated room will be available, the exact price can be determined and an individual appointment for moving in can be made. In case of an early move-in the billing will be done on a daily basis.
According to the requirements of the registration law, in Austria every resident must must register with the registration authorities within three days. More detailed information can be found in the registration law and on the website of the respective cities.
Before you register with the registration authorities, the registration forms that you require are to be submitted to the residence manager to be stamped and signed on the day the contract begins!
The deregistration must be done within three days before to three days after the accommodation is vacated.
The resident makes the registration and deregistration independently.
The contribution to residence representation is due with the first user fee in the month of contract start and after this once a year with the Housing Fee in October and amounts to € 30,00. There is no claim for aliquot or refund. The contribution to residence representation is used to cover damages to the property of Akademikerhilfe or property administered by Akademikerhilfe if the question of guilt can not be clarified. The remaining amount is available for community purchases by the residence representation after completion of the annual settlement of accounts.
The most important thing first: you should still register with us! Once you are in the system, we will keep you on the waiting list and will get in touch once a place for you becomes free. And: if you move into another residence in the meantime because there are actually no further places in your preferred residence, you can nevertheless submit a room preference for your preferred residence in the resident portal and you will be in ‘pole position’ and find out first when a room becomes available.
A deposit is required before moving in. The current amount of the deposit to be paid can be found under "Other fees" at the respective home on our website. The deposit is refunded at the earliest two months after moving out. If damage is found, the amount of damage is deducted.
The deposit must be transferred immediately upon acceptance of the contract offer or a SEPA direct debit mandate must be issued. The deposit will be debited at the earliest three months before the start of the contract.
If you issue a SEPA mandate, you will also be informed of the amount and the planned debit date in writing by email approximately one week before the debit is made.
BV VI. Deposit refund (Benützungsvertrag VI)
In case of proper and timely return of the dormitory place, Akademikerhilfe will arrange the refund of the deposit minus the final cleaning fee (see VII.2.) and any outstanding claims earliest 45 days up to 60 days after the end of the contract at the latest.
If you have issued a SEPA mandate, the transfer will be made to this account. If you would like the repayment to be made to a different account or have not issued a SEPA mandate, please enter the account details on the online portal. Any bank charges incurred shall be borne by the recipient.

Eine Kündigung des Benützungsvertrages durch den Studierenden vor Ablauf der vereinbarten Vertragsdauer ist unter Einhaltung einer zweimonatigen Kündigungsfrist jeweils bis zum Letzten des Monats per E-Mail an studentservice@akademikerhilfe.at möglich. Die Beweislast für den rechtzeitigen Eingang der Kündigung liegt beim Studierenden. Zusätzlich gilt § 12 Abs.3 StHG."
It is possible for the resident to terminate the usage agreement at the latest on the last day of every month while observing a period of notice of two months. The termination must be submitted in writing (e-mail is sufficient) on the last working day (Monday to Friday) of a month (e.g. if you wish to move out on 31st May, the termination must be received in writing by 31st March). Responsibility for the timely receipt of the termination lies with the resident.
Our online user portal can be accessed by the button "resident login" which is visible at the top of the website. The access data for the online portal will be sent by e-mail after acceptance of the contract offer.
With the portal you can
- manage your personal details,
- renew contracts (only after explicit information and request),
- manage finances or
- room requests can be submitted.
Please check your personal data regularly! Telephone number and e-mail address must always be kept up to date so we can transmit important and/or urgent information.
You can get more information about available parking spaces from the residence management of the student dorm. All student residences at a glance
All operating costs, such as electricity, water, heating and waste disposal, are included in the usage fee, so there are no additional costs, with the exception of the costs for the use of washing machines and dryers.
Internet, cleaning of common areas and the use of common rooms are not part of the contract but an additional service provided to the residents on a voluntary basis until revokation at any time.
For a SEPA mandate you need a bank account of an EU country with EURO as national currency. On the online portal (access data will be sent by e-mail after acceptance of the contract offer) account data can be provided or changed.
We have one-time and recurrent expenses.
One-time costs:
- Registration fee: € 20,- payable when completing registration
- Processing fee: € 30,- upon acceptance of contract
- Deposit: Details about this can be found in the respective residence under ‘Other fees’.
- Final cleaning fee: This fee is due for each room change and move-out (BV VII/2) and can be found under "Other fees" on the website.
Recurrring costs:
- Usage fee: This is the fee for the use of your room. It has always to be paid in advance by the 1st of the respective month.
- Residence representation sum: € 30,- when moving in and annually in October
If anything is not completely clear to you with regard to the prices, simply ask your residence management, who will be happy to help you!
- Cancellation more than 62 days before the start of the contract: any caution will be refunded, the processing fee remains with Akademikerhilfe.
- Cancellation between 62 days and one day before the start of the contract: In this case the processing fee is forfeited in favor of Akademikerhilfe. In addition, Akademikerhilfe retains one monthly usage fee which is deducted from the deposit. The difference between the deposit and the usage fee will be refunded. If the usage fee exceeds the amount of the deposit the remaining amount will be charged.
The withdrawal from the contract must be announced by e-mail to studentservice@akademikerhilfe.at. The burden of proof for the timely receipt is by the withdrawing party.
Please note:
If you have booked a short-term stay (12 days to 91 days), no free cancellation is possible after prepayment has been made, so the following cancellation conditions apply:
- Cancellation up to more than 62 days before the start of the contract: the processing fee will be retained.
- Cancellation between 62 and more than 31 days before the beginning of the contract: 50% of the total amount will be retained.
- In case of later cancellation the total amount will be retained.
According to the visiting regulations in the home statutes, it is not permitted to let someone stay overnight or live with you. In the event of unauthorized subletting disclosure of the income generated may be required or a lump sum may be charged.
The contract of use concludes only one person and does not provide for additional occupancy of a unit - particularly for fire safety and billing reasons. (Also for resource-related reasons (water, electricity consumption, etc.) and because roommates are also confronted with the additional overnight guests, these cannot be permitted).
The renewal of the contract usually takes place in March/April. You will be informed about the exact period by e-mail. To extend your agreement, you must demonstrate positive study progress to us as per the student residence law, i.e. submit examinations that you have completed.
The extension can be done via the online resident portal.
During registration please indicate the type of room and the price category you wish to stay in. If you already know a certain room number or have another preference, please simply tell us this by e-mail and we will do all we can to fulfill your preferences.
Room requests can be submitted only via our online resident portal. In the "Room Request" menu of the online portal you will find all rooms based on certain criteria (size, orientation, etc.) that can be added to the respective "Wish List" by clicking. The room wishes must always be kept up to date.
Please note!
If a desired room is once assigned, the room must also be accepted.
