Move-In Days

The Move-In Days will take place on 16-17 August 2025. In order to prepare yourself for your Move-In Day, we want to share with you some more info, 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 during the summer. 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 an allocated check-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. You will receive your log-in details for the DUWO environment from DUWO together with all necessary information on how to sign your rent agreement and the first month rent. You will receive and sign your rent 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:

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 check-in time, you will only have 1 hour to park at the square in-front of LUC. 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 this day.

Practical Information

Please do not bring bulky items on Move-in Days! To avoid long waiting lines for the elevators, only bring the necessities on Move-in Day, and plan to move heavier items, such as furniture, another day. Your room will have all the furniture and facilities you need.

The square Anna van Bueren (Anna van Buerenplein) can be accessed from the ‘Princes Irenestraat’, between New Babylon and the House of Representatives, where traffic bollards are in place to restrict traffic to the square. Paid parking is available all day at Q-Park opposite our building, Anna van Bueren (please note height restrictions to the covered parking apply).

The square in front of the building is only available for unloading for a limited number of cars and time. As LUC is located next to the Dutch House of Representative, LUC must register your car and driver through an online portal, so the guards in front of the House of Representatives can open the barriers for your car.

During Move-in Days, 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.

If you plan on arriving outside Move-in Days, you can register by sending an email to the LUC Information Desk, with the following information:

• Your name
• Phone number
• Date of arrival
• Name of the driver (if different from the person requesting access)
• License plate number
• Who is your visit in reference to?
• What is the reason for your visit?

Questions can be directed at the LUC info desk (info@luc.leidenuniv.nl).

In general, the square is closed off by traffic bollards. These are lowered on the following days and times (subject to change):

Monday to Friday: 5-7 AM and 10-11.30 AM

Saturday and Sunday: 6.00-11.30 AM

To apply for an exemption you can request it here at the Municipality. Registering your car with LUC is always required to enter the square.
