Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 23 June 2020, 5:13 PM)Project Weeks: How can I attend the Project Weeks? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: At least 6 times a year, Wittenborg students are involved in a project week that challenges them through real-life, real-time projects organised by the university in cooperation with various companies and organisations, both locally, nationally and sometimes internationally. Students are divided into project groups and are given an assignment to be completed in a short period of time, usually one or two weeks. This means dealing with deadlines and pressure while working for a real client. At the end of the project week, findings are presented in a professional setting at Wittenborg University: an opportunity to hone consulting and presenting skills. In short: a stimulating and educational experience that prepares students for the reality of their future careers. For more information about participation and project weeks, email projectweek@wittenborg.eu. | ||

Question: (Last edited: Friday, 14 January 2022, 3:12 PM)Assignment Submission: Will I get an extension in assignment submissions if the quality of Internet in my home country is poor? | ||
---|---|---|
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: (Last edited: Monday, 17 January 2022, 3:47 PM)Online Presentation: I am invited for an online presentation but I get an error message everytime I click to join the online meeting. | ||
---|---|---|
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. | ||
Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 9 February 2022, 11:54 AM)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? | ||
---|---|---|
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: (Last edited: Friday, 14 January 2022, 3:13 PM)Assignment Submission: When can I submit my assignment? | ||
---|---|---|
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: (Last edited: Wednesday, 1 September 2021, 3:37 PM)Work Placement/Internship: How shall I prepare for the Work Placement if I am a direct-entry Phase 3 student? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: Work placement is not obligatory for students with direct entry into the final phase (Phase 3). However, they must complete 15 ECs for this module, either by undertaking a standard internship as per our procedure, or they can replace these credits with other taught modules. For this they must make an agreement for possible modules with their process tutor through their study agreement.

Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 29 December 2022, 3:27 PM)Residence Permit: How will it affect my student residence permit if I decide to stay outside of the Netherlands? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: When you are holding a residence permit for study purpose, you may stay outside the Netherlands for a maximum of 6 months in a row or 3 years in a row each year for a maximum of 4 months in a row. As of 19-03-2021, the flexibility introduced by IND after COVID-19 that made it possible for the students to stay outside the Netherlands for a maximum of 12 months, comes to an end. Accordingly, the student who stays outside the Netherlands for more than 6 months is considered that he/she moved his/her main residence unless it is demonstrated in that individual case that student could not return to the Netherlands earlier due to unforeseeable circumstances, i.e. “force majeure”. A student who relocates his/her main residence loses the right to the residence permit. When should I come back?
Please note: It is not possible to return to the Netherlands after your main residency is withdrawn by the IND. This means that you cannot enter the Netherlands anymore. Consequently, a new visa application (TEV or VVR without MVV) must be submitted, which costs extra time and money for you. If you have any further questions, please contact Registry Department via registrar@wittenborg.eu. | ||
