If you are interested in the services on offer from the Paderborn Studierendenwerk (student services association), please indicate this when submitting your online application via the Mobility Online Portal under the ‘Accommodation’ tab. You will receive the link to access the portal once your home university has nominated you and your nomination has been accepted.

The International Office will forward your information to Student Services in due course. The Studierendenwerk (STW) is responsible for renting out dorm rooms and handles the assignment process. Please note that the International Office has no influence over this process.

If a room is available, you will receive an offer by email from STW in due course. If no room is available, you will receive a rejection. Therefore, please have a look into your email inbox and your spam folder regularly.

Please read your offer carefully. Pay particular attention to the details regarding the start and end dates of the tenancy agreement. These may differ from the details you provided on the Mobility online portal, or your plans may have changed since then. In such cases, you should contact STW Wohnraumverwaltung before accepting the offer.

Would you like to have your contract information changed? Do not accept the offer just yet; instead, ask STW to make the necessary corrections to the lease term first.

Please note: You may only change your contract details once and only before accepting the offer.
