Question:

MVV Sticker: I have collected my MVV already, however, the access conditions for people who want to travel to the Netherlands have been tightened. Is this restriction also applicable to me if I want to enter the Netherlands with an MVV?

(Last edited: Tuesday, 14 July 2020, 9:35 AM)
Answer:

From Thursday 19 March 2020 at 6 p.m., the access conditions for people who want to travel to the Netherlands have been tightened. This means that persons who do not fall under the exception categories will not enter the Netherlands and they will be refused entry. In principle, this measure applies for a period of 30 days. This measure does not apply to: 

  • holders of an MVV or Dutch residence permit, regardless of the purpose of residence; 
  • third-country nationals in possession of a residence permit from a Schengen or EU member state; 
  • holders of a residence permit as long-term resident.

New address registration: How long can I wait before registering my new address in the Netherlands?

(Last edited: Thursday, 13 August 2020, 2:20 PM)
Answer:

You must inform the municipality of your change of address anywhere between 4 weeks prior to moving and 5 days after moving. The moving date that you provide will be treated as the day on which your address changed. If you inform the municipality more than 5 days after moving, the date on which you inform the municipality will be treated as the moving date. Municipalities can impose a fine of up to €325 if you do not inform them in time of important changes to your personal information.

The following link is the page on the city hall website, which guides you how to change your address online. This link is only for students living in Apeldoorn city.

Question:

News@Wittenborg: How can I stay in touch with the latest information and news at Wittenborg?

(Last edited: Monday, 13 July 2020, 11:46 AM)
Answer:

To stay informed at Wittenborg, students will be kept up to date of all news, events and study information through Wittenborg’s own online information system. All news posts will be automatically e-mailed to all students and staff who have registered their profiles on the Intranet!

In any modern learning environment, online information plays an important role. At Wittenborg, students can access course information, modules, web mail, their account information and many other utilities, through the intranet. www.wittenborg-online.com

Logging in www.wittenborg-online.com

Login is done by using your assigned user name (studentnumber@student.wittenborg.eu) and password. See Part 4 of the EEG for more technical information. Wittenborg's Intranet can be accessed from school and from home, or from anywhere in the world where there is internet connection. All you have to do is to log in using your Wittenborg credentials.

Question:

Nuffic: What is a Nuffic agreement?

(Last edited: Friday, 12 August 2022, 3:31 PM)
Answer:

It is a document legitimising your internship. It must be signed by you, your company and the university. You are not allowed to start your internship without the signed Nuffic agreement. Any hours worked prior to the signed Nuffic agreement will not count towards the hours necessary to fulfil this work placement module. Working without a Nuffic agreement is considered illegal in the Netherlands and Wittenborg will not be responsible for any legal issues arising in this case.

Question:

Online Presentation: I am invited for an online presentation but I get an error message everytime I click to join the online meeting.

(Last edited: Monday, 17 January 2022, 3:47 PM)
Answer:

 

When you receive an outlook invitation you might receive the following message:

  “A custom mail flow rule created by an admin at wittenborg.eu has blocked your message.”

Any time you receive an invitation in Microsoft Outlook or 365 and accept it, the invitation will be visible from then on in your calendar. Therefore, even if you close the window that pops up while you have accepted the invitation, you can always go to your Outlook calendar and join the communication channel again.

 
Note:

If the problem persists you may contact Helpdesk for further assistance.

OV-Chipcard (OV-Chipkaart): What is an OV-chipcard and how can I use it in the Netherlands?

(Last edited: Monday, 22 June 2020, 4:00 PM)
Answer:

In the Netherlands, the easiest way to take the bus, train, subway, or tramway is to use an OV-Chipcard (PT Smart Card).
