The SHWJ/SUWB actively pursues a housing circulation policy.
That is why we verify every year whether you are still registered as a PhD candidate at Leiden University or LUMC, or as a researcher at Leiden University if you rent a room at the SUWB. We call this the ‘Proof of affiliation’ check.
You must upload this proof of affiliation annually via your own page on the SUWB tenant portal. You will receive an email with details when it is time to upload your Proof of Affiliation.
PhD Candidate
If you are a PhD candidate you will be able to rent an apartment at Boerhaave Housing on the basis of a campus contract.
Campus contract
As a PhD candidate you are only able to rent an apartment at the SUWB if you are enrolled as a PhD Student (doctoral candidate) at Leiden University or LUMC . This means when you finish your studies, you have 6 months to leave your room. We call this the housing circulation policy. This way other PhD candidates also get the chance to live in an apartment during their studies.
Every year we check whether you are still registered with an educational institution when you are renting a room with a campus contract. We call this campus contract check.
