When can you start booking housing?
If you start studying during the autumn semester, you can only book housing with agreement start from August 1 or later. If you start studying during the spring semester, you can only book housing with agreement start from January 1 or later.

Start booking
You can book up to three homes at the same time and you can see your bookings here. It is the student with the most number of waiting days who receives a housing offer. If two people have the same number of credit days, the offer is sent to the person who registered first in our housing queue.
If you are the person with the highest number of credit days on more than one of your bookings you will only recieve one offer on one of these and it is our system that randomly sends out a housing offer. Which means you cannot rank your bookings so it is important that you think about only booking homes that you really want.
If the person who received a housing offer declines, the home is published again. Thus, it does not pass on to the person with the second highest amount of credit days.
You need a certificate to prove your studies
It is important that you can provide proof that you are studying or about to begin studying at least 50% at a university affiliated with SSCO, and that you are a registered student union member on Mina sidor. If you are unable to provide this when you receive a housing offer, we will not be able to approve your tenancy agreement.
Are you studying at the Stockholm School of Economics? Then you need to provide a Course Registration Certificate. Please contact the school’s staff to obtain the correct certificate.
For doctoral students: You need a certificate confirming a study activity of at least 50%. The certificate must follow our doctoral student template. Download the doctoral certificate template here.
Instructions for downloading requested documents
You can book housing even if you are not yet a Student Union member, up until 15 February for the spring semester and 15 September for the autumn semester. After these dates, Student Union membership is required. Please note that you must be able to present your admission letter.
Your documents must not be older than one month.
You need to be an active doctoral student to be eligible for housing with us. We do not accept pre-doctoral or postdoctoral status.
When do we publish vacant homes?
We usually publish vacant homes on Mondays 16:00 and Thursdays 10:00. Of course, they can be published on all weekdays.
Housing that is published on Mondays can be booked until Thursday 10:00. Housing that is published on Thursdays can be booked until Monday 16:00. Housing offers ate sent to My pages about 30 minutes later.
During the summer we can publish Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Priority
If you have special and strong reasons, priority may be granted in our housing queue. Preferably, it applies to medical and social reasons as well as disability that is supported by medical certificates. Reasons like being pregnant, crowded, homeless, long distances to/from the higher education institution are not reasons for applying for priority. You have no guarantee that you will receive exactly the type of home you want if you are granted priority.
Please note that if you are granted priority it can take several months before a suitable home becomes vacant. If you decline a sent housing offer, you have used up your priority and you will then have to book a home as usual in our housing queue.
