If you want to prolong your stay at Ghent University as an exchange student, you will need to present 3 documents:

• A signed letter from your home university, stating the period that you want to stay longer as an exchange student at Ghent University
• A signed letter from your professor in Ghent, stating the period that you want to stay longer as an exchange student at Ghent University
• A copy of your health insurance (European Health Insurance Card or other insurance), valid in Belgium for the entire period of the prolongation

Further steps:

• Bring/send the 3 documents to the Exchange Student Adviser.
• After checking the forms, he will change your file in the UGent-databases. Your student card will be valid for the prolonged period from the next day onwards.
• He will also give/send you a ‘Letter of Prolongation’. You can use this Letter to change your reservation in the UGent student residences.
• You will also receive a Letter from the Central Students' Administration by post on your address in Gent. You can use this Letter to prolong you registration in the Foreigners' Registration Office of the City.
