Studentbostäder i Linköping AB are responsible for approximately 4000 temporary accommodations intended for use by students at Linköping University. Student accommodation is special as it is classed as temporary accommodation. This means that you rent your accommodation from Studentbostäder under the condition that you are studying and have achieved 7.5 credit points per term. As there are many students who need student accommodation it is important that only active students rent our accommodations. This is the reason for our accommodation assessments.
As a tenant you will be sent a number of letters with a questionnaire. We would like you to answer the questions and return this together with a certificate stating your study results.
If you have not already received a letter but are aware that you do not have the right to stay in the accommodation, as you have either completed your studies or not achieved the required study results, please contact us.

Who has decided the requirements is 7.5 credit points per term?Studentbostäder negotiates contract and accommodation conditions with SHGO (Student Tenant Association). Both organisations decided the requirement for an active student should equate to a study rate of 7.5 credit points per term.
How do I confirm my study results?
Study results can be obtained from a Ladock printout using your Swedish social security number; this will confirm that you have been awarded at least 7.5 credit points.
Can I print out a certificate from Studentportalen?
No, Studentbostäder does not accept printouts from Studentportalen. We need a certificate that states you have been accepted and specifies the number of points you were awarded last term. It is also important your Swedish social security number is printed on the certificate.
I am a post graduate student, does this apply to me as well?
If you are a post graduate student or a researcher, please contact us for information about your requirements.
What happens if I don’t get in touch?
If we don’t hear from you we will cancel your contract.
I have almost completed my studies, how long can I remain living in the accommodation?
When a person is no longer a student he does not have the right to remain living in student accommodation. When you are nearing the completion of your studies you will need to register with a housing management association.
I have completed my studies and would like a one room apartment in the city centre. Can I remain living in student accommodation until n apartment becomes available?
As our accommodation is intended for active students and you are no longer active you cannot remain living in the accommodation. If you have not registered with a housing management association it may take some time to find a one room apartment in the centre of the city.
