Administration (dormitory inspectors/financial office)

You can contact any time somebody with any questions or problems related to dormitory life. During working hours, you can come to the Financial Office (opening hours: Monday – Thursday: 8 AM – 11 AM and 1 PM – 3 PM; Friday: 8 AM – 12, noon). You may also contact me via e-mail: ribling.tamas@kancellaria.elte.hu, I will answer you within 24 hours except on weekends.

Outside working hours you can address your problem/question to the dormitory inspector on duty. They work on weekdays from 5 PM to 7 AM, on weekends, around the clock. The actual inspector’s phone number can be found at the reception windows. There is a daily shift, so the names and phone numbers change every day. On weekdays you cannot call them before 5 PM! The inspector can solve any issue which has to be handled immediately (e.g. you locked yourself out from your room, your neighbour is loud, and you cannot sleep).

Paying via Neptun

You can pay a fee issued by the dormitory (e.g. monthly fee for some scholarship holders, guest fee etc.) in the Neptun just like at every other facility of the ELTE. There is a detailed guide and FAQ on the website of the ELTE Quaestura Student Service Office, available at FAQ\Fees and Funds. Link: https://qter.elte.hu/Statikus.aspx/GyIK-Penzugy

Pay attention to the deadlines – the late fee (4.500 HUF) is generated automatically and we won’t delete it.

Hosting a guest

According to the House Rules you can accept guests any time after checking them in at the reception. You must also check them out upon departure! During their stay, you are responsible for your guest(s), so you should move together in the buildings. If your guest is staying between 11 PM and 7 AM you must pay 1.500 HUF per night. The accumulated fee is charged monthly via Neptun. There are no guestrooms, so you can accommodate your guest only in your own room with the verbal consent of your roommate(s).

Moving out

The day before your planned departure, you must call the inspector in charge to check your room’s condition and inventory (Yes, it’s a 2-day procedure). Note, that the inspectors can be called to check your room between 5 PM and 10 PM! On the day of your departure you must go to the Financial Office in opening hours (from Monday through Thursday 8 AM to 11 AM and 1 PM to 3 PM, on Friday 8 AM to 12, noon) with the signed inventory paper and your keys.

Room changing

It happens, that you have a problem with your room or your roommate(s). In this case, you can ask for a room-change. You can move to an incidentally empty place or you can change with another person. Before the change, you have to contact the Financial Office about the available opportunities (opening hours: Monday – Thursday: 8 AM – 11 AM and 1 PM – 3 PM; Friday: 8 AM – 12, noon), and administer the change.

If you move to an empty place, on the day before the change, you have to call an inspector between 5 PM and 10 PM to check your current room. You will need a releasing sheet for that.

If you change with somebody else, both of you have to ask for inventory check, and both of you have to come to the Financial Office at the same time.

Reporting maintenance problems

You can report any technical problems by registering them here: https://mufig.elte.hu/hibabejelentes (ELTE Caesar ID is required). In a few days, a repairman will come to check the issue. If there is a recurring problem, which was not solved for a longer time, please, contact me via ribling.tamas@kancellaria.elte.hu and I check on the repairmen.

Rooms

Every room has an invetory (chairs, tables, beds, blankets, pillows, fridge etc.). You might check the items of inventory on the so called releasing sheets at the receptions. Moving these items to another room is forbidden. For example, if you use your own bedsheets, you must store the dormitory’s bedsheets in the room, because every item should be available at every inventory check. If something is missing or broken, you must pay a damage fee.

The cleaning of the rooms and the attached bathrooms and toilets is the responsibility of the tenants. The dormitory inspectors visit the rooms monthly to check the hygienical conditions.

Smoking and cooking in the rooms are forbidden. The fire alarm might be turn on, and the evacuation protocol comes into operation. The firefighters may automatically arrive, which might cost tens of thousands of HUF. You must bear the financial responsibility, if the false alarm was your fault!

Using the kitchens

You can cook, bake, fry, microwave your food only in the kitchens on each floor. When you cook, close the kitchen door and turn on the exhaust fan, since the fire alarm system could turn on because of the steam and smoke. Don’t leave your food-in-process alone! Upon finishing, please clean after yourself, because another students also would like to use the kitchen. Don’t forget your utensils in the kitchen, because the utensils, particularly the frying pans with oil would be removed by the cleaning service every morning, because of fire safety regulations.

Smoking

Smoking is strictly forbidden in the buildings. Breaking this rule will result in disciplinary process and immediate exclusion from the dormitory. You are allowed to smoke only in the designated areas in the courtyard. Please, do not throw the cigarette stub on the ground, there are dust bins everywhere in the courtyard!

Parking lot

You can use the parking lot for your vehicle. You can buy your parking place only for a whole month, its price is 8.000 HUF. Please, send an e-mail to szabo.viktor@kancellaria.elte.hu with your name, Neptun ID, licence plate number, and type and colour of your vehicle. The parking fee is charged via Neptun. You have to pay there.

Using common devices

The dormitory has some devices at the receptions for communal use. For example iron, ironing board, cleaning devices, vacuum cleaner. You can borrow these devices from the receptions with your student ID. Take care of these, because other students also use them. If they are not working, let it know at the reception. If you finished using the common devices, bring them back asap.
