Question:

MBA/MBM Students: Is there a deadline to register for Project Weeks?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 8 February 2023, 1:50 PM)
Answer:

Yes, we have created Project week registrations for each block in the course area. Once you have enrolled yourself in the Project week course area, you would be able to see the Registration link. The deadline is Monday of Lesson Week 1 at 16:00. If you missed the deadline to register yourself, you will not be allowed to participate in the Project week for that block.

Please note that enrollment and registration for project weeks are not the same. You can only do the registration after enrolling in to the course area.

Question:

Meeting Invitation: Why the error message "undelivered" has been sent while responding to a meeting invitation?

(Last edited: Tuesday, 15 March 2022, 9:08 AM)
Answer:

If a meeting has been created with any field (Subject, title, or message body) empty, then the recipient will receive the automated error message in reply that their "response was not delivered" after responding to the meeting invitation. However, this may not affect their response and their response may still be recorded. Also, if they have accepted the meeting using their phones, this issue might occur.

In such cases, it is always recommended to confirm with the recipient after, if they have received your response.

Question:

Reimbursement of Travelling Expenses: How can a student reimburse any travelling costs for moving through campuses to attend the classes?

(Last edited: Tuesday, 30 August 2022, 10:20 AM)
Answer:
When student groups in specialisation modules (Bachelor or Master programmes) are smaller, Wittenborg may decide to combine the groups with a other study location (Amsterdam/ Apeldoorn) to ensure consistency in our student experience. In similar situations, Wittenborg will reimburse the return travel costs (train/metro) between the two study locations (Amsterdam-Apeldoorn-Amsterdam/Apeldoorn-Amsterdam-Apeldoorn)


You can use the Form to declare train/metro travel expenses between Amsterdam and Apeldoorn. Please note that this is valid for students only if their lessons are scheduled in a different study location by the university administration.

NOTE that this is not an option for students to follow classes at any campus.

Teams Notifications: How can the notification/Preview be turned off in teams?

(Last edited: Thursday, 9 June 2022, 11:19 AM)

When a new message is received in Teams, the user always get a notification and there is a pop-up message with preview. 

This can be turned off in two ways:

1. If the notifications needs to be turned off during the meetings only, the status should be changed to "Do not disturb" and then there will be no notifications/pop-up messages during the meetings.

2. You can turn off the notifications/preview from the settings in Teams app.

  • Open Microsoft Teams desktop or web client.
  • Click on the user icon, located in the right hands side of upper Teams bar.
  • Then click Manage Account to open the Teams Settings.
  • From the left hands side of the Settings dialog, select Notifications.

Question:

Test Sirens: When are the public warning sirens tested in the Netherlands?

(Last edited: Monday, 7 March 2022, 9:22 AM)
Answer:

All over the Netherlands, the public warning sirens are tested at exactly 12.00 noon on the first Monday of every month. The siren sounds for 1 minute and 26 seconds without interruption. This is a test signal so there is nothing to worry about. The sirens are never tested on a national or religious holiday or Remembrance Day, even if they fall on the first Monday of the month.

Testing the sirens is important:
Public authorities regularly test the sirens to check that they are working properly. It is essential for everyone to know the difference between the test signal and the emergency signal.

For more information about the siren test, please check the website https://www.government.nl/topics/counterterrorism-and-national-security/question-and-answer/public-warning-sirens
