Class of 2028

Dear Class of 2028,

Please find the housing registration instructions for UCG students via the following link. SSH, the housing corporation that UCG works with, offers two types of contracts:

• Campus Contracts, which do not have a fixed end date

• Short Stay Contracts, which have a fixed duration of one year

Due to legal regulations, students with Dutch nationality are not permitted to register for a Short Stay Contract. Therefore, Campus Contracts are reserved for Dutch nationals. Please ensure you follow the instructions that apply to your situation:

• Dutch nationality = Campus Contract

• Non-Dutch nationality = Short Stay Contract

Please note that renting a room with SSH is not mandatory for UCG students - you are free to live wherever you prefer.

The deadline to register for a room is 15 July. After this date, we can no longer guarantee that accommodation will be available.

Dear Class of 2028,

Thank you for reading the second enrolment update! This update includes the Pre-Departure Guide and information on your first core elective at University College Groningen. Don’t forget to check the Class of 2028 website for an overview of all the enrolment updates and other relevant information.

LAS core electives

You will be able to choose 2 Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) core electives in year 1 (1 in block 1 and 1 in block 2). There are 7 LAS core electives in total:

• Culture: The Building Blocks

• Disease

• How Things Work

• Love

• People, Place and Culture in Global Context

• War

• This is the Sea

How to choose your LAS core elective for block 1?

You will have the opportunity to choose your first core elective by filling in this form - please make sure to do so before 15 July. Course descriptions can be found on this website. You only need to choose one core elective; your second core elective will be chosen during your first block at UCG.

In the form, you may select your top three preferences, so please think carefully about which electives interest you the most. Remember, none of the core electives require any prior knowledge of specific subjects, you are free to choose any elective you like. The form also asks for your student number, which you can find on your decision letter. Please complete this form only once, as any duplicate submissions will be removed.

Important to know: core electives are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee placement in your first choice, as there are only 25 seats available per course.

You will be informed which core elective you have been allocated for Block 1 when we send the final enrolment update on 5 August.
