Step 1: Register an account

Prior to booking you require to pre-register an account as UU student using a special UU link.

• Make sure to register using the special UU registration link. If you register on the regular Plaza website, you will not receive access to the reserved offers part of the UU Reserved Accommodation Programme. 
• If you already have a regular paid Plaza account, you can still register for the UU offerings through the special UU registration form from 13 May onwards. However you will need to use a different email address for your 'UU' Plaza account than the one you used for your paid 'regular' Plaza account. So make sure to have an alternative email address ready to register a second account via the UU link on this page, and make sure to remember which email address and password you have for the different accounts.
