Answer:

Wittenborg Housing department provides living student housing service in Apeldoorn. Most of the bedrooms are single bedrooms, though you may have to share a large bedroom with another student, depending on the accommodation available and your budget. Usually younger student, just graduated from high school, is advised to take a shared room.

Dealing in, using or possessing soft or hard drugs is forbidden in all Wittenborg housing.

Question:

Student Account: Who can I contact in case of loss of access to my student account?

(Last edited: Thursday, 10 February 2022, 1:17 PM)
Answer:

 

If a student’s account denies access, this can have multiple reasons. Below the 3 most common reasons are highlighted.

 

  • Password change. Students have to regularly change their password to secure their account.
  • Inactivity for a longer period of time. If a student does not access his school account for a few months, the account will be blocked. The account has to be reset. The Wittenborg Front Desk can do this - send an email to have your account reset.
  • Outstanding invoice tuition fee. If a student has not yet paid the tuition fees, an account will be blocked. After receiving the payment, the account will be reactivated.

For further information ask the Front Desk for support. This can be done either via email to frontdesk@wittenborg.eu or contact Helpdesk or by going to the Front Desk in person.

 

Question:

Student Confidential Advisor

(Last edited: Monday, 18 September 2023, 5:01 PM)
Answer:

Student Confidential Advisor: Jacqueline Horstman (External of Wittenborg) 

If you encounter the following challenges and difficulties and would like to speak to an external person about them: 

  • Independent and confidential 
  • Point of contact if someone is confronted with unacceptable, undesirable behaviour within Wittenborg (as victim or observer), i.e. from other students, staff members, teachers, etc. This includes but is not limited to verbal and non-verbal forms of :  
    • Bullying 
    • (Sexual) harassment 
    • (Sexual) intimidation 
    • Violence and aggression 
    • Threats 
    • Discrimination 
  • The confidential adviser offers moral and emotional support and can inform the complainant of possible ways to resolve the problem. Together, they investigate which steps the student can take, identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each step. The confidential advisor can support with reporting the problem and/or with filing a complaint. The confidential advisor guides the student through the entire process while actions are only being taken based on the explicit consent of the student. 


How does the confidential advisor system work: 

  • Students can contact Jacqueline directly through phone or e-mail, without any involvement of WUAS. 
  • When students approach Jacqueline, she will respond as soon as possible to make an appointment. 
  • The appointment will normally be online, but can also be planned at Jacqueline’s office in Zutphen. 
  • If Jacqueline is not available, the contact information of a replacement confidential advisor is shared when students make contact.
