FAQ – for new students!
Dormitories
- Please check, if you really booked and finished the reservation of dorms. Is your room really approved in ISKAM?
- Moving in is possible from September 7, if you come not within the office hours of your dormitory, let know your arrival date to the dormitory management in advance, to let your key at the reception.
The contract can be found in your ISKAM account.
It is necessary to sign the contract electronically in the ISKAM interface. It is, of course, possible to study and go through the contract before signing.
The contract can be signed in ISKAM 7 days before the date of the beginning of student accommodation in ISKAM, when the possibility of electronic signature will be activated.
- Dormitory fees for September and October are paid before moving in the dormitory by charging up the main account in ISKAM.
- Next payment of dormitory fees during academic year can be paid as follows:
- via direct debit authorization from an account maintained in CZK with a financial institution with its registered office in the Czech Republic to account No. 1793102/0800. We recommend a monthly direct debit limit of at least 12 000 CZK (in the event that one month’s direct debit is not passed, the next month’s amount will pass through both months). The account number from which the dormitory will be collected must be entered by the resident in ISKAM.
- via payment gateway at iskam-web.vse.cz
- in case of real necessity, it is possible to pay the dormitory fees at the reception or at the head of the dormitory in cash and by credit card, but we strongly prefer options of payments stated above.
