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: Wednesday, 31 March 2021, 2:42 PM)COVID-19 Matters - 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Please note: It is not possible to return to the Netherlands after your main residency is withdrawn by the IND.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. | ||||

Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 29 October 2020, 12:07 PM)Exam Type1: What are the new changes to exam type 1 in 2020-21? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: Type 1 assessments are closed or open book examinations held in school under invigilation. After having experimented with online exam type 1 examinations, uploaded answers and the management of these during the retake weeks of block 8 (which were held at the end of August) we have identified various issues with organizing a traditional open book exam online. Therefore, we have decided to implement the following for the complete academic year 2020-21:

Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 13 January 2021, 6:30 PM)MVV Collection: I am unable to make an appointment with the Dutch embassy for the collection of my MVV due to COVID. What can I do? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: The current IND regulations state that you must pick up your MVV within 3 months after receiving the IND decision/approval letter. This letter has been forwarded to your private email address by Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences. If you are unable to pick up your MVV within the required 3 months, please contact the Dutch embassy in your home country to request for another 3-month extension on top of these 3 months already provided to you (https://ind.nl/en/pages/coronavirus.aspx). Please know that you can request a 3-month extension only if it is impossible for you to make an appointment with the Dutch embassy for the collection of your MVV within 3 months. Since some of the Dutch embassies are on temporary lockdown, they are less accessible by email or phone, so do not wait until the last moment to contact them. Don't forget to keep us informed at all times by emailing us at registrar@wittenborg.eu or calling us on +31 886672688 if there is a change in your plans for coming to the Netherlands.

Question: (Last edited: Saturday, 11 July 2020, 10:07 AM)Part-time/Online Job: Can I find an online part-time job in the Netherlands? Due to COVID-19, I am not able to travel to the Netherlands. | |||
---|---|---|---|
Answer: Most of the part-time jobs in NL require you to be physically in NL, so it is nearly impossible to find an online part-time job. Suggestion: It is highly unlikely that you will be able to find an online part-time job in the Netherlands. Most jobs require you to be physically present in the Netherlands. Furthermore, to be able to work in the Netherlands, you need a residence permit and/or a work permit (TWV). If you are a new student from a non-EU country, you would not have your resident permit card, and BSN (Social Security No.) yet until you arrive in the Netherlands. These two are prerequisites for being employed in the Netherlands. You can find more details from the IND website: https://ind.nl/en/work | |||
Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 23 June 2021, 9:11 AM)PCR Tests: Where can I find answers on PCR Tests, quarantine and vaccinations? | ||||

Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 14 July 2020, 9:31 AM)Project Weeks: How will the project weeks be delivered? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: As is the case with the rest of the modules, project weeks will be delivered through online activities, i.e. online groups and team sessions will be conducted. Teams will be given the responsibility to collaborate outside the scheduled sessions. At the end, the teams will present their deliverables, while the university will make all the material and resources needed online for the students. Note:International trips have been cancelled. | ||||
Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 14 July 2020, 10:04 AM)Residence Permit Expired: What should I do if my residence permit has expired but I cannot leave the Netherlands at this moment? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: Submit an extension application at the IND desk where possible. If this is not possible, you can ask for a return decision at the counter. With a return decision, you then have an additional 28 days to leave the country. You can make appointments at the counter in the usual way, but bear in mind the currently limited services at the IND counters. | ||||
