SSSB

Why am I on hold in the SSSB housing queue?

It can be due to several things. The most common is that you are not a member of DISK or that you are not registered with Stockholm University / DSV.To be able to utilize your DISK membership for the SSSB housing queue, you need to be a student at SU/DSV.

It may also be because you have used different email addresses with us and SSSB. If you use different emails, SSSB cannot confirm your DISK membership.

It is up to you to make sure that you meet these demands. If you have double checked your email address and that you are registered at courses, but still experience issues, please contact us at kx@disk.su.se.
