Those students, whose family live outside Ankara, can apply for accommodation in the dorms. Those students, who are newly admitted to the University, should fill and submit the METU Students Personal Information Form during registrations. Those students, who did not apply during registrations, can apply to Directorate of Dormitories at the Dormitory 2 building within two weeks after the commencement of the lessons. Applications after this date are admitted as well, however general points of these late applications will then be lowered.

Financial and social position of every applicant's family is investigated via local administrative units. The results of this investigation and the success of the student together are assessed and graded according to the criteria, which is determined by the Executive Board of the Dormitories and approved by the Presidency. The results of the assessments are announced on the boards of Directorate of Dormitories at the 2^nd dormitory building. After the student learns his/her average point he/she can get the information about when to register to the dorms from the registration board every week on Monday.

Registration begins by placing the students having the highest general points and then come the students with lower points. Those places of the students who have left the dorms are filled with other students of lower points until the end of the dormitory application period. The student, who was not placed into dorms in the semester he/she applied, should apply again. If the student's general point is accepted and if all the documents listed on METU Dormitories Applications Slip is present, the student can apply to Directorate of Dormitories and register himself/herself. After the procedures in the Registration Bureau are completed, the student takes his/her documents from here, and applies to the dormitory he/she will stay until 16.00. Registration to the dormitories is now completed.

Your right to stay in the dormitory is calculated by adding one year to the rest of your regular education period.

Notice: The stay of those students will be rendered void, if they have no more rights to stay in the dorm.

The student, who had the right to register to the dormitories according to the general points announced, but did not register within the specified deadlines, loses the right to register himself/herself with this general point announced for him/her on the list. In this case the students' points will be calculated again according to late application situation.

METU student dormitories are managed, run and controlled according to the rules in the Dormitory Regulations. The Dormitory Regulations can be read from bulletin boards of every dorm. We recommend our students to read these regulations.
