Return your Survival Package on Friday 6 June at the latest!

Tue May 13 12:00:00 2025

The semester is nearing its end, so it's soon time to return the Survival Packages rented from the ISYY offices! This is your reminder to return your Survival Package with all its contents intact to the ISYY offices on Friday 6 June at 3PM at the latest!  You can return the Survival Package any day before the deadline within ISYY office opening hours. Please note that this deadline cannot be extended - the Survival Packages need to be prepared for new students incoming in the autumn semester 2025. The offices are closed from 2 June onwards, but the Coordinators of International Affairs will be present at both offices to receive your packages during that week every day from Monday 2 June to Friday 6 June 11AM - 3PM.

When you return the package make sure that:

  • All items listed in the slip are inside the box
  • The items are clean and dry (also the textiles) 
  • The box itself is clean
  • If any item (or the box itself) is damaged or lost in your use, please replace the item(s) before returning the package.

You will be refunded the deposit of 30€ if the package is returned complete, in good condition and clean. If someone else is returning the package for you, please inform the coordinator of your campus and keep in mind that the deposit is given in cash to the one returning the package. Any broken, dirty, or missing items will be deducted from the deposit!
