Cursos Internacionales can also help students who prefer to live in a dorm to find housing in a dorm of, or associated with, the University of Salamanca, depending on the number of available places at each moment.dorm housing
Students choosing to live in a dorm have a double or single room with Internet service.
Students have also the option of full board accommodation or only accommodation. The hiring of dorm housing with the option of only accommodation does not give the right to use the kitchen, in case the dorm provides this service.
The accommodation period begins at 16:00 the day before the course starts, and ends at midday (12:00) the day after the course finishes. If you need to start the accommodation period before or finishes it after, please make sure to indicate it in the Other comments box of the online registration.

Students must bring their own towels and personal care products.

Dining services in dorm housing

In some dorms, students need a card with a magnetic strip, which is compulsory to access the dining hall. In these cases, students will receive this card when they arrive at the dorm housing. Students are only allowed to use the dining hall they have been allocated to. In fact, the card they receive will be valid only for that specific dining hall. If the card gets lost or damaged, students can ask for a new one directly in their dining hall, where they will have to pay 5 euros for the new card.

Cancellation policies for dining services in a dorm with full board:

  • If the cancellation is carried out at least seven days before the food service starts, students will be reimbursed the whole amount for the service. As students will be in the same dorm but only for accommodation, they will be reimbursed the difference between accommodation and accommodation with full board.
  • Students who have hired the services for less than a month are not allowed to cancel the food service once it has started.
  • If the food service has been hired for longer than a month, students can cancel it for the second and following months. In these cases, cancellations must be informed at least a week before the first month ends. Students will have to pay for the first month (either they use the service or not), but will be reimbursed the amount for the following months.

Accommodation reservation

Students can apply for their accommodation just at the same time as they are registering for their course, or can apply for it later, at least FIFTEEN days before the course starts. Accommodation application must always be made through the online registration application available from our webpage. If you have already enrolled for one of our courses and now want to apply for accommodation, please enter your password and user name to access your profile.

The reservation of accommodation is subject to availability, and therefore the payment does not guarantee the availability of the requested accommodation at that moment. If there is no availability, the student will be informed immediately and will be given the option to change to another type of accommodation or get a refund of the amount paid plus administration fees.

In the event that the course the student has registered for is longer than a month, and the accommodation is not booked and paid for a month, the student can apply for the prolongation of the stay at least SEVEN days before the start of the following calendar months of stay. In case of prolongation, the student will have to pay, also within the SEVEN days before the new month of stay, the amount corresponding to a month of the accommodation applied for.

Cursos Internacionales can only guarantee the accommodation reservation for the total period applied for and paid before the beginning of the course. If, when registering, the student only paid for the first month of accommodation, the month prolongation of it will be conditioned by the number of places available at the time of requesting the prolongation.

 

Payment

At the time of applying for accommodation, the student must pay the total amount of the accommodation plus administration fees, if the duration is equal to or less than one month, or at least the amount of the first month's accommodation plus administration fees, if the duration is more than one month. Cursos Internacionales will not proceed with the reservation until full payment is made. If the requested accommodation is not available, the student will be able to change the type of accommodation or request a refund of the amount paid, including administration fees.

Cancellation policy

If the student cancels the requested accommodation before the start of the program, the following cancellation fees will be charged:

  • If the cancellation is made more than 60 days in advance, the amount paid will be refunded, except for administration fees.
  • If the cancellation takes place between 30 and 60 days in advance, the charge will be 50% of the amount paid plus management fees.
  • If the cancellation takes place between 8 and 29 days in advance, the penalty will be 75% of the amount paid plus management fees.
  • If the accommodation is cancelled 7 days or less in advance, no refund will be made.
  • Once the accommodation period has started, no cancellations will be accepted during the first month of the stay. In case of cancellation, the student will not be entitled to any refund.

After the first month of accommodation, students who want to cancel must inform it at least a week in advance and pay 50 euros of cancellation fees, which will be deducted from the amount reimbursed. Students must necessarily pay the amount of those 7 days of accommodation, even if they leave it before they elapse.
