[Accommodation in UTCB dormitories – information updated 10.09.2021]

The room accommodation fees approved by the Administration Council and proposed for approval by the UTCB Senate for the date of September 23 are:

  • Student dorm 3 – 750 lei
  • Student dorm 4 – 750 lei
  • Student dorm 5 – 880 lei
  • Student dorm 7 – 850 lei

The proposed accommodation rates are non-subsidized and are valid for one room. This fee is divided by the number of students in the room and the corresponding subsidy is deducted for each, if any. In the academic year 2020 – 2021, the subsidy was 160 lei per student. The accommodation fee for the first month is half of the accommodation fees of a room without subvention lei and is paid online starting with September 23, 2021, at 8 pm, before taking over the dormitory room. This advance fee will not be paid by foreign scholarship students of the Romanian state, as well as by orphan students.

1. Accommodation in UTCB dormitories is made only for persons who:

  • a. have at least 10 days from the complete vaccination schedule against SARS-CoV-2 virus (for which the European COVID digital certificate is presented).

Information:

  • According to the instruction 232 of July 7 2021 for ensuring the vaccination in the educational units of students, their families and their own staff, issued by the National Coordinating Committee of Activities on vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 from the Public Health Directorate of Bucharest, vaccination universities can be organized through mobile teams. If the survey of UTCB students and staff identifies the need to bring a mobile vaccination team to the university, the management will take all necessary steps for this activity.
  • Near the university’s Lacul Tei Campus (approximately 2 km distance) there is one of the largest vaccination centers, respectively Center 1 Bucharest Metropolitan Circus (Aleea Circului, No. 15, Sector 2) where vaccination with 3 types of vaccines is possible: Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
  • Students can resort to the UTCB Medical Office which is part of the School Medicine Network in the Capital taken over based on CGMB Decision no. 146 / 30.08.2012 by the Bucharest Hospitals and Medical Services Administration (ASSMB). The office is located on the ground floor of home number 4.
  • Antigen tests can be found at the price of 50 lei in private medical laboratories in Bucharest. These are not accepted if they are performed by students, and antigen tests cannot be performed at the UTCB Medical Office because two flows cannot be provided, one input and one output.

The Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest aims, starting with September 27, 2021, to carry out all teaching activities for all study cycles (bachelor, master, doctorate) in physical format, face to face. We look forward to the time when all UTCB students will return to the university’s educational spaces with the start of the 2021-2022 academic year.

The university dormitories will be open for the accommodation of our students, except in cases where the authorities with competences in the field of public health will impose restrictions. In case of an unfavorable and alarming evolution of the pandemic situation during September, the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest will analyze the opportunity to resume all teaching activities face to face and will communicate the necessary decisions.

The Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest recommends that members of its academic community be vaccinated in order to minimize the risk of transmitting SARS-VOC 2 virus and disease and to increase the chances of carrying out teaching activities in physical format.
