1st year foreign students can be awarded a place in a hall of residence from a reserve pool at the disposal of the International Students Office. Students in higher years apply for a place at their Wydziałowa Komisja Ekonomiczna (Faculty Economic Commission).

The fees are set yearly at about 320 PLN. The halls of residence offer two-, three- and four-bed bedrooms with shared bathrooms and kitchens (depending on the hall). Places in particular rooms are awarded by the Residents’ Council (Rada Mieszkańcow) at a given hall of residence; if a student wishes to live with a particular roommate, they should report at the hall.

Bedrooms have basic equipment as: beds, tables, wardrobes, sheets, bedside lamps; kitchens are not equipped with crockery, pots or pans, no fridges are usually available either.

A citizen of a non-EU/EEA country can enter the territory of Poland on the basis of a valid travel document (passport) and a visa (if required). A citizen of a non-EU country has to obtain the visa from the consulate of Poland in his/her country of residence. The short-term visa entitles to stay in Poland up to 3 months, the long-term visa - up to 1 year. The prolongation of a visa in Poland is only possible in case of a force majeure or situation impossible to foresee while applying for the visa in the consulate. The visa can be prolonged only once. It is therefore necessary to apply for a visa in a consulate for the whole planned period of stay in Poland. For details please contact the Polish Consulate in your country. Persons who have received a visa for the whole period of stay in Poland are not obliged to apply for a residence permit for their stay in Poland. Responsibility for obtaining and maintaining legal status remains with the student.

Every foreigner staying in the Polish territory is obliged to hold a valid insurance covering costs of medical care in Poland.

Providing medical care insurance for students of Polish origin from outside EU countries can be arranged by the university on terms applying to Polish students provided that they provide relevant documents.
