I have become a member and joined the SSSB housing queue, but my membership is not being updated.
During the summer holidays, synchronisation between our membership system and SSSB is limited. However, you can remain on the housing waiting list for 90 days without being a member, so you don't need to worry about losing your place.
After 90 days, you must have a registered study pace and an active membership. To sign a lease agreement with SSSB, you must be studying at least 50%.
