NB! During the academic year, you can submit a maximum of 2 applications.

Every student with a guaranteed place in one of the university’s dormitories must book the date and time when they would like to move in. Students will be notified by email when this feature becomes available, and the date and time of move-in during the first wave will need to be booked within 48 hours after the student is assigned to a dorm. The date and the time are selected from the options offered on my.itmo.ru.

NB! You cannot choose the dorm you will be assigned to. Housing is not taxed for parents and other representatives of students.
