Question:

How are the Project Weeks graded?

(Last edited: Monday, 18 September 2023, 1:52 PM)
Answer:

If you successfully attend and pass a project week, you should see the grade in Osiris as 1. Similarly if you pass 2 project weeks, you will see a grade of 2. If you attended 3 project weeks and you do not see it graded as 3 then that means that you failed your third project week. 

You should also refer to the comments given by the Project Week supervisor in your report submitted in the TurnitIn area as they give you a clarity if you have been passed or failed. 

Please note that you are not given a grade but rather a count of how many project weeks you have passed.

Question:

How can I check the AI percentage in Type 2 exam submission?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 28 June 2023, 3:59 PM)
Answer:

For the time being only the examiners can see the AI similarity percentage via Turnitin, which we think Turnitin may  make available to students in the future; yet it is their decision.

Question:

How do I know if I am eligible to take the MEEs?

(Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:09 AM)
Answer:

Students are eligible to take the MEEs if they:

o  started their programmes at Wittenborg in block 1 or block 2 for the academic year 2022-2023 and

o  have completed and passed at least 80% of the modules in phase 1. (i.e. out of the 19 modules, students must have completed and passed at least 15 modules). Students who are not eligible yet may take the exams during the next opportunity.

o Bachelor students who started their programmes earlier than September 2022 may also opt to take this exam if they have completed at least 80% of the modules in Phase 1.

o Master students who wish to take this exam must have completed and passed all their modules except for GA/FP.


Question:

How is my paper graded in regard to the AI usage?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 28 June 2023, 3:57 PM)
Answer:

Assignments with AI similarity of up to 3% will be checked by examiners to investigate if there is any attempt of Academic Misconduct. If none is found, the assignments will be assessed as per the standard procedure. In cases where examiners/moderators have doubts on the originality of the work, they may request students to:

  • Write a paragraph of text on the same module in front of the teacher;
  • Conduct a question and answer session;
In order to be able to conclude an outcome for the student work.

Take note that WUAS is not discouraging the use of AI tools (such as ChatGPT) for learning purposes. Nonetheless, misuse of such tools will be considered Academic Misconduct.

(Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:06 AM)
Answer:

This MEE is COMPULSORY for all students who started the programme in September 2022, depending on their eligibility. For students who started before September 2022, it is optional for them to take this exam.

Basic Requirements For bachelor’s students:

Question:

What is MEEs?

(Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:04 AM)
Answer:

Starting from the academic year 2022-2023, all new students starting their programmes at Wittenborg will not only follow normal assessments that lead to European Credits, but will also be required to complete a Multidisciplinary (phase) Exit Exams (MEEs) at the end of each learning phase. This means that for bachelor’s students, there will be an MEE at the end of phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3. For Master’s students, the MEE is at the end of semester 2. The MEEs are compulsory and must be completed in order to graduate.

Why MEE?

The rationale of having the MEE is to monitor and evaluate the progress of WUAS students from a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective. This new assessment will enable students to better evaluate their educational progress as well as the development of competencies required to become business administrators and managers. A good performance will make graduates stand out in the eyes of employers. It is an assessment that students must pass to complete a course and be promoted to the next phase. It is a way to maintain graduation standards, assurance of learning and quality of retained knowledge and skills. This exam is important as it can ensure that WUAS students meet educational standards. In return, it can also influence educational policy at WUAS

Question:

Account Access: Why can't I access my online student account?

(Last edited: Friday, 14 January 2022, 3:14 PM)
Answer:

 

Please note that we have activated Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on all Wittenborg accounts. You have to login via text on your phone or Authenticator app. Please refer to the attached document on how to activate your MFA. 

There are other possible reasons why you cannot access your account, besides the MFA activation. The 3 most common reasons are as follows:

  • Entering the wrong password: A password may have been changed recently or the student may have simply entered the wrong password. Passwords are case sensitive.
  • Inactivity for a long period of time: If a student does not access his/her student account for a few months, the account will be blocked. The account has to be re-setted. Please contact Wittenborg Helpdesk to help reset the account. Helpdesk or Front Desk will send to the student’s alternative email information to have the account reset.
  • Outstanding invoice tuition fee: If a student has not yet paid the tuition fees, the student’s account will be blocked. The account will be reactivated once the outstanding tuition fees have been paid.

Sometimes there are technical issues with your account. Please contact ict@wittenborg.eu or Helpdesk to assist you further. 

If any question remains, students can contact the front desk for support. This can be done either via an email to frontdesk@wittenborg.eu or by phone: (088) 6672688.

Question:

Apeldoorn Campus: How can I find the Wittenborg location in Apeldoorn?

(Last edited: Tuesday, 4 April 2023, 3:23 PM)
Answer:

Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences has its main campus in Apeldoorn, which consists of two separate buildings within walking distance from one another. Both locations share a central telephone number +31 (0)88 6672 688. Both Wittenborg campuses are conveniently accessible by public transport and are just 3-4 minutes walking distance from the Apeldoorn train and bus station.

  • Brinklaan building: Brinklaan 268, 7311 JD Apeldoorn.
  • Spoorstraat building: Spoorstraat 23, 7311 PE Apeldoorn.

The Brinklaan building

The Brinklaan building is just across the road from the Amaliapark and is accessible via foot, car, bike and public transport. The building is only a 15-minute stroll from Apeldoorn Central Train Station. It is recognisable by the large blue "Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences" sign on the front of the building.

The Spoorstraat building

The Spoorstraat building is located on the north side of the Apeldoorn Central Train Station and is about 3 minutes' walking distance. It can be recognised by the Wittenborg flags and the Wittenborg logo at the top of the building.

Question:

Assignment Deadline: When is the deadline to submit my Type 2 Exams? What happens if I miss a deadline to upload an assignment on Turnitin?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 9 February 2022, 11:54 AM)
Answer:

 

The deadlines to upload assignments are clearly shown in the Module Guide, the Online Module course area and in the Turnitin submission page. The upload area is visible to everyone who is enrolled at the online module area of the course. Please take note that the responsibility of checking the assignment submission deadline lies on the student. So always check the Module Online Area.

You also need to consider the difference in the time zone that you are located in (for those who are not physically present in the Netherlands). Rules and regulations regarding deadlines to upload assignments at Turnitin are clearly indicated in the EEG guide of Wittenborg (Part 5 - General Assessment Policy).

Should you face any technical issues, you need to contact Helpdesk at least 30 minutes before the deadline with the assignment and screenshot(s) of the exact technical issue. Requests put after the deadline will not be attended to.

If you miss the deadline to upload an assignment on Turnitin, you will have to wait for the next retake opportunity.

Retakes can only be done when a student has attempted the normal exam (1st attempt).

Note:

You are highly advised not to upload your assignment in the last minute.

Question:

Assignment Submission: What should I do if I have uploaded the wrong assignment?

(Last edited: Tuesday, 20 June 2023, 2:15 PM)
Answer:

Turnitin at Wittenborg allows you to resubmit your assignment multiple times by overwriting the previous submissions, until the due date. This means that if you have submitted a wrong document, you can resubmit again by uploading the correct document. The newly uploaded document will overwrite the previous one. You can resubmit multiple times until the deadline. This feature of overwriting previous submissions ensures that your module teacher will only receive the latest submission for checking.

If you check that you submitted the wrong paper after the deadline has passed, the helpdesk cannot make any changes and you will not be eligible for a retake block.

Question:

Assignment Submission: When can I submit my assignment?

(Last edited: Friday, 14 January 2022, 3:13 PM)
Answer:

 

The window period to upload assignments is open at least two weeks in advance of the due date. Avoid uploading your assignment at the last minute. Make sure to upload the assignment a day earlier to avoid complications such as technical glitches, lost internet connection, system overload etc. Submitting your assignment early also helps you to view your Similarity Index Report and ensure that the similarity index is below the 20% limit set by Wittenborg (Refer to EEG for more details). This allows you time to amend your assignment if necessary.
 
In case of technical issues, contact Helpdesk at least 30 minutes before the deadline, with the name of the module and screenshot(s) of the exact technical issue. Request put after the deadline will not be attended to.

Question:

Assignment Submission: Will I get an extension in assignment submissions if the quality of Internet in my home country is poor?

(Last edited: Friday, 14 January 2022, 3:12 PM)
Answer:

 

There is no extension of deadline for submitting assignments online. It is the student's responsibility to submit the assignment on time. Many problems can surface at the last minute, such as technical glitches, failed internet connection, system or software failure etc.

It is better to upload your assignment one or two days before the deadline, so that in case you encounter technical problems, you have sufficient time to find alternative ways to submit your assignment. If the internet connection in your area is weak or unstable, it is best to find a library or a computer shop as an alternative. 

If you are still not able to solve your technical issue, please contact Helpdesk at least 30 minutes before the deadline, with the name of the module assignment and screenshot(s) of the exact technical issue. Request put after the deadline will not be attended to.

Question:

Attendance: How do I know if module attendance is compulsory?

(Last edited: Friday, 26 August 2022, 8:40 PM)
Answer:

From academic year 2022-2023 (starting Monday, 29 August 2022), there is 75% obligatory class attendance for all modules for all programmes. Students will NOT be allowed to take the exams if they do not obtain 75% class attendance.
