At the main allocation for semester start housing is allocated from 1st May. The majority will receive feedback on their application in June.
International and exchange students will not receive feedback until after we have received confirmation of your stay from the coordinators at Molde University College. We usually receive this confirmation around 1st May and 1st November.
We do not send out rejections to applications, you will be on the waiting list for as long as you want.
With available housing during the rest of the year housing is allocated on first-come, first-served basis.
A notification will be posted here on our website when everything is allocated.
International and exchange students will not receive feedback until after we have received confirmation of your stay from the coordinators at Molde University College. We usually receive this confirmation around 1st May and 1st November.
Unfortunately it is hard for us to say something about spots at the waiting list.
We promise that you will receive feedback as soon as we have housing to offer you. We do what we can to make sure as many of you as possible are allocated housing!
That’s usually not a problem! Reach out to us by sending a message via hybel.no and we’ll find a solution.
You will have to pay rent from the day you move in.
Yes, that’s not a problem! But, please note that you do have to pay rent from the day your contract starts – even if you move in at a later time.
If it’s more than 2 weeks after your contract start date we would appreciate that you let us know so we don’t get concerned! Send us a message at hybel.no if that’s the case.
The key can be handed over to our operations manager after the checkout, or in one of our mailboxes at the different housings if you move outside our opening hours. Read more about moving out here.
All tenants are sent an offer for renewal of their contract in April each year. You will then have the opportunity to renew your contract for another year.
If you are not sent an offer you might have exceeded your maximum residency – check our allocations regulations for more info.
You can cancel your agreement by sending us a message at hybel.no. It is important that you send it as a message through there, so we can add it to your contract in the system.
Please note that exchange students and degree-seeking students here with a housing guarantee cannot terminate their agreement. See your tenancy agreements for more information.
Don’t forget, there is a 2 month termination period. The termination period applies from the first day in the month after the termination is received. If you send your termination at i.e. 10th October, your termination period starts on 1st November, and your agreement ends on 31st December.
The rent follows your termination period. The termination period is 2 month, and you have to pay rent for the whole period. If you send your termination at i.e. 10th October, your termination period starts on 1st November, and your agreement ends on 31st December.

This is usually up to date on what is vacant, and what is not – but please note at it might not be completely updated during the main allocation in May-August.
No, if you where not assigned your first choice, but the second- or third choice, you have to even accept or decline the offer. You cannot be on a waiting list for your first choice. Please note that if you decline the offer, you will not receive a new offer.
We believe that any housing is better than no housing, and send offers for as long as we have active applicants. It is possible to change housing later 😊
For a new study year in August you can apply from March already, check in here for when the housing is made available.
If you want to move it at other times of the year, you can apply whenever the housing is available. Check in here.
Everyone that is a student, or is a soon-to-be student, at Molde University College can apply for student housing.
If we have vacant housing and no students on our waiting list, other “non-student” can rent with us. If so, a 20% surcharge is added to the rent.
All applicants must be over 18 years old.
If you have signed a tenancy agreement you can cancel your agreement up until 25th July without any financial consequences. Remember that a signed tenancy agreement is legally binding. If you do not cancel the agreement within 25th July the normal termination period of 2 months applies, and you are responsible for rent during the termination period.
