Frequently asked questions & answers
How can I recieve the refund of deposit?
Instead of paying the fee for the Dormitory for the last month of your stay, you can cover this expense with the deposit money. To do so, inform the Non-Degree Program Coordinator about such decision by writing an e-mail on this topic at admissions@uwb.edu.pl.
If you had already paid the accomodation fee for the last month of your stay at the University of Bialystok, you can apply for a refund of your deposit money, proven that the room you were assigned remains in the same condition as upon your admission.
To receive the refund of the deposit inform the Administration of the Dormitories about the date of your departure (Dormitory no. 1, Zeromskiego 1 Street, room no. 18). You will be granted a written request with the amount of money you shall receive - remember that you may not receive a full amount of due refund, based on the possible payment shortcomings from possible previous obligations.
