For whom?

All VUB- and ULB-students with a VUB e-mail address can make reservations, but the study places are mainly meant for:

• Students who do not have a quiet study place available at home
• Students who need a place on campus due to socio-emotional, family, psychiatric or medical circumstances
• Students who need to combine an on-campus lesson with an online lesson and don't have enough time to go home or to their dorm.

Reservation

Reservation is necessary! You can only use a study space with a reservation. Looking for a place last minute? No problem! You can even book a place rightaway that's immediately available.

Reservations are made via the Affluences tool, available as an app on your smartphone or on your computer.

Reservation rules

• You can reserve a place from one week in advance, up to the moment of booking.
• You can only book for yourself.
• After every reservation through Affluences you will immediately receive an email in which you have to confirm your reservation within 2 hours.
• You don't need your place anymore? Cancel your reservation; cancellation is possible any time, through the confirmation e-mail.

Confirming your arrival

• Upon arrival at your reserved study place, you confirm your presence. This can be done in two ways:
  • Upon arrival, you scan the QR code that hangs in the study room
  • You open the validation page of the Affluences website on your computer and type in code VIH1
• Please note:
  • You can only confirm your presence 10 minutes before your reservation time;
  • If you do not confirm your presence, the spot you reserved will be cancelled after 20 minutes. It will then become available again for another student to reserve.

Terms of use

• You (only) use the numbered seat you reserved.
• You always wear a face mask, even when sitting down in your own space.
• You disinfect your table + chair yourself, both before and after use of your study space.
• You place your student card visibly on the table.
• Furniture must not be moved.
• You keep the study space clean (take rubbish with you or put it in a bin).
• You respect your reservation time and make sure to clear the space in time for the next student to arrive.
• You respect the opening and closing times of the location.
• You keep it quiet so everyone in the space can concentrate.
