Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 10 February 2022, 1:19 PM)Submission Deadline: My submission deadline is at 16:00. How late can I submit my assignment on Turnitin? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer:
Submissions of assignments just a few minutes before the deadline can be a risky issue. This is because it can take a few minutes before the system registers your uploaded work. Therefore, the student must always upload all assignments with sufficient time left in order for the work to be stamped in time. Submitting with sufficient time will also allow the student to correct any mistakes in the assignment. Consigning submissions at least 24 hours before the actual deadline may be a safe measure and can prevent any last-minute stress or failure of submissions. Note:For any technical reason for non-submission or failure to upload assignments, please contact your teacher and Helpdesk. Source: The EEG Part 4 - Practical Information Guide | ||

Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 1 March 2022, 9:13 AM)What is Basisregistratie Personen (BRP)? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: If you have moved to the Netherlands and intend to live here for more than 4 months, you must register yourself in the Basisregistratie Personen – BRP (Personal Records Database). You can do this by visiting the City Hall of your municipality. Similarly,
if you move to another municipality in the Netherlands, you must notify the new
municipality of your change of address. Once you register in the BRP, you will receive your BSN. Failing to do these might result in withdrawal of study visa by the Dutch Immigration Office (IND). In such a case you will be required to leave the country and apply for a new MVV (entry visa) from your home country to continue with your studies. Eventually, it will cost you time and money. Important
note: You must
inform Registry Office (registrar@wittenborg.eu) whenever you change your address within
the Netherlands. The same applies when you are planning to deregister from the
City Hall and leave the country for a temporary period of time or permanently. | ||

Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 17 March 2022, 9:43 AM)Student Housing in Apeldoorn: What types of housing options can I choose from in the university housing in Apeldoorn? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: Wittenborg offers accommodation in a number of different types and places, all enjoying close proximity to the university:
Dutch or other EU-national students are encouraged to find their own accommodation; however, they can opt for Wittenborg’s own accommodation if available. If you are a non-EU or EU ‘package-fee’-paying student who needs Wittenborg to arrange your study visa to be able to join us in Apeldoorn, part of your package fee is the first 2 blocks* of your accommodation fee, plus administration fee for new-arrival students. You will be allocated a room in either an apartment or a house sharing a common area and all facilities, such as a bathroom, toilet, kitchen, etc., with other students, both male and female. After the end of the original housing package * you are free to move out of Wittenborg accommodation and move into other housing of your choice.

---|---|---|
Answer: Yes you can opt to live in the Wittenborg student housing. You will need to contact registrar@wittenborg.eu in order to fulfil the financial requirements apart from filling up the room application form Wittenborg Apeldoorn as a start. Students from the EU Students from non-EU countries You will be allocated a room in either an apartment or campus complex, sharing a common area and all facilities with other students, both male and female. After the package-fee period, which means after the first 2 blocks (approximately 3-3.5 months), we encourage you to find your own accommodation. Many students decide to find accommodation together with their newly made friends! This also means that our rooms will then be available again to new students arriving at Wittenborg. On the FAQ page of Wittenborg-Online, you will find contact information of local real estate companies and student housing providers/agencies in Apeldoorn, so you will have plenty of time to arrange your next accommodation. If, after the first rental period, you decide to stay on in one of the rooms provided by Wittenborg, the deadline of your rental extension has to be followed as stated in your Student Housing Contract. | ||
Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 6 April 2022, 12:46 PM)Project Week: How many Project Weeks does Master's students have to complete and when can they attend? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: Master's students are required to complete a total of three (3) Project Weeks (PW) in order to receive a pass in this module. The PW topic of blocks 1 & 5 are similar, while the PW topic of blocks 2 & 6 are similar and the PW topic of blocks 3 & 7 are similar. Students must ensure that the three PWs taken are not a duplicate of another. For example, once a student has a Pass for PW block 1, they can no longer take the PW in block 5 because the topic is similar. If taken, the mark will not be registered in Osiris. Only ONE PW can be taken per block. For example if students join the campus-wide Bachelor's PW like the Climate Change PW, students will not be allowed to join the Master's PW for that block. | ||
