If your extension of admission has been approved, we can also inform Studentenwerk, that you are allowed to extend your stay in a student residence. If you started the extension procedure at an early point, there is a good chance that your room has not yet been rented out to a new student. In case you finish the procedures late, you may have to move to another room or even another residence. In case all rooms are booked out, you will have to find private accommodation yourself.
Please kindly understand that we cannot approve the extension of your room before the other formalities have been completed!
