Are you a newly enrolled student in one of these programmes and looking for accommodation in the dormitories? You are in the right place. We are glad you are interested in accommodation at the VŠE dormitories.

If you are unsure which programme you belong to, please contact us at ubytovani@vse.cz.

This page will guide you through the process of applying for accommodation for the academic year 2026/2027. The accommodation period is from September 10, 2026 to June 30, 2027.

Please follow these steps carefully:

1. Apply for accommodation at iskam-web.vse.cz

📅 Application period: June 5, 2026 – July 5, 2026

Important:
You may also submit your application after this deadline at any time during the academic year. However, you may have to wait longer for a reservation. Late applications are processed depending on the current availability of accommodation capacity.

2. Pay the deposit of CZK 8,000

(after completing Step 1)

📅 Payment period: June 5, 2026 – July 5, 2026

  • If you submit your accommodation application (Step 1) and pay the reservation deposit (Step 2) by July 5, 2026, the status of your application will change on July 13, 2026 from “Approval in progress” to “Preliminarily approved.”
    This confirms that your application has been processed successfully.

⚠️ Please note that the application status will not change before July 13, 2026.

  • Please note that your accommodation is booked from September 10, 2026, and this date cannot be changed. September 10, 2026, is the first day of validity of the Accommodation Agreement. It is also possible to move in after this date – please see the information below.
  • Rooms are allocated by the Central Accommodation Office; applicants cannot choose a room themselves. Please note that students are accommodated in shared twin rooms.
  • Information about whether a student has been allocated accommodation will be available in ISKAM under Accommodation – Accommodation requests (waiting lists) by August 3, 2026.
  • If you would like to share a room with a friend, you may indicate this in the application form.

 

Cancellation

If students change their minds and decide not to use accommodation in the dormitories, they can submit a “Cancellation request” in ISKAM within their application by August 8, 2026.

In this case, the reservation deposit will be refunded, reduced by any bank handling fees. The deposit will be returned to the bank account specified by the student in ISKAM.

If the accommodation application is cancelled after August 8, 2026, the deposit will not be refunded.

Important information – arrive 

  • Move-in is possible only on weekdays during office hours. If your arrival is outside office hours, you must contact the Dormitory Manager in advance – Dormitories.
  • If you arrive in Prague earlier, you can stay at the hotel accommodation located at our dormitories.
  • If you know that you will arrive later than September 10, 2026, please inform the Dormitory Manager of the dormitory where you will be staying – Dormitories.

⚠️ Please note that if you do not arrive within 5 days from the start of your accommodation, your reservation will be cancelled and the deposit will not be refunded.
If you know that you will arrive later, you must inform either the Dormitory Manager or the Central Accommodation Office in advance. If we receive this information and the dormitory fee is paid, your reservation will remain valid.

  • Failure to arrive due to a visa not being granted is the responsibility of the student and does not entitle the student to a refund of the deposit.

Registration of Foreigners with the Department of Asylum and Migration Policy (DAMP)

Every foreigner accommodated in VŠE dormitories must report their stay to the Department of Asylum and Migration Policy (DAMP). This notification will be submitted by the Central Accommodation Office.

  • The obligation to notify DAMP about the stay of foreigners is fulfilled by the dormitory (the accommodation provider).
  • The accommodation provider is required to report the foreigner’s stay to DAMP within 3 working days of entering the dormitory.
  • The reporting of foreigners to DAMP is carried out electronically.
