In order to be admitted and stay at the dorm, one must be enrolled in a course at a university in the Copenhagen area.

The study should lead to a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree. If the internship is an integrated part of a course, earning the standard number of ECTS credits, you may stay at the dorm during that period of time.

At occupation, the maximum duration of the stay at the dorm is the remaining time of completion plus 1 year. The maximum duration of the stay at the dorm is rated as the length of your study plus max. 6 months on a bachelor’s study and max. 6 months
on a master’s study. A contract that indicates the relocation date is signed on occupation.

Changing your study during your stay at Egmont dormitory, the number of years used on your first study is deducted from the total number of years you may stay at the dorm.

When calculating the duration of stay at the dorm, the exchange periods are deducted from the total duration of stay, if the room has been made available to the college in that period.

Nobody above the age of 30 years, or less than one year from graduating their studies, can be enrolled at the college.

Residents must move out upon turning 32.

Couples can only be enrolled and live at the dorm if one meets all the requirements for admission and the other is studying and meets the age requirement (see
sections: age limit and restrictions).

Housing options for students enrolled in 4 + 4 systems toward a Ph.D. follow Section 4, although one must be receiving SU (Student Benefits) or similar to stay
at the dorm.

In exceptional cases, i.e. prolonged illness, there may be granted an exemption from the rules above.
