The Move-In Days will take place on 15-16 August 2026.

Move-In Days

In order to prepare yourself for your Move-In Day, we want to share with you some more information, and what to expect before this date. DUWO - our student housing partner that deals with LUC's housing will be in touch with you in the summer to start arranging housing contracts. You will sign your contract and receive your room number and floor in June. On your Move-In Day you will pick up your keys.

Contract

What you can expect from this process is the following:

1. You will receive room booking instructions, as well as an allocated Move-In day and time via email through housing@luc.leidenuniv.nl. Please note that you will not be able to move in anytime beforehand nor can you select a day yourself.
2. In June you will receive your log-in details for the DUWO environment from DUWO. You will receive and sign your rental agreement online. (If you have applied using your school email please send us another email where this contract can be sent to).
3. Keys will be distributed by DUWO during your assigned time slot.

During Move-In Days, you will receive a Bed Linen package:

LU-cards

All LU students need an active LU-card to access Leiden University premises, including your residential floor at AvB. You must apply for your LU card as soon as you are admitted to LUC.  You can apply for your LU card here. 

If you do not have a Dutch address, you can send your card to LUC:  

YOUR NAME 
ATTN: Admissions office 
Leiden University College The Hague 
Anna van Buerenplein, 301 
2595 DG The Hague 

We recommend doing so as soon as you are admitted to LUC. If you send your card to LUC's address, you’ll then be able to pick up the card at LUC’s Admissions office during Introduction Week (Monday-Friday).

To ensure a smooth arrival during the Move-In Days weekend, you will be able to access your accommodation floor without an LU card. 

Logistics of The Day

Your studio apartments will be fully furnished, and will contain all the necessities, such as a bed, desk, wardrobe and more. More detailed information can be found here.

However, if you plan to bring other items from home, especially big furniture, we recommend for you to plan to do this at a later date after Intro Week. During your move-in time, it will be very busy, and therefore access to the lifts will be limited. There will be plenty of time for you to pimp up your apartments after these days.

Accessing the square by car during Move-In Days

During Move-In Days, all cars will be requested to enter the parking located below the square (Q-Park Centraal Station). LUC will arrange access to the square for cars/vans that cannot enter the Q-Park. For the cars parked at Q-Park, moving carts will be provided. You will receive further details about this in June.

Accessing the square by car after Move-In Days:

Please don’t bring bulky items on Move-In Days! To avoid long elevator wait times, bring only the essentials on Move-In Day and move heavier items such as furniture on another day. Your room already includes all the essential furniture you need. 

If you plan to bring additional items from home, especially larger furniture, you can do so later, after Intro Week. Follow these instructions to request parking at the Anna van Bueren square after Intro Week.

Questions about accessing the square after Move-In Days can be directed to the LUC Info Desk: info@luc.leidenuniv.nl.
