Process collaboration VU-UT

• Application and enrolment

  You submit your application for the programme B Mechanical Engineering or B Creative Technology in Studielink at UT. You can opt for the VU-UT variant. If you are enrolled at the UT for one of these programmes in the VU-UT variant, you will mainly follow courses at VU Amsterdam. You will automatically be registered as a secondary student at VU Amsterdam when your enrolment at UT is completed.

• Visa / residence permit and accommodation

  Are you an international student and do you want to make use of the visa/residence permit service of the university? Then you can arrange this through the UT. Pay close attention to the applicable conditions.

  As an international student, it is possible to make use of the VU housing arrangement. You can apply for this via a UT form.

• Registration for courses and exams

  You register for courses and exams via Osiris. You log in with your UT student number and UT password. More information about registering for courses within your programme can be found on Canvas, more information about the registration periods can be found here.

  If you want to register for electives and minors, there are a number of VU minors and electives to which you have direct access. For other VU minors and electives, you have to ask permission to include them in your programme.

  At VU Amsterdam, you must arrange your course registration via the registration module. The VU registration deadlines can be found here. At VU Amsterdam, you can only register for courses once your enrolment is complete.

  Please note: As a secondary subject student, you do not have access to the extra-curricular subjects at VU Amsterdam. If you do want to take a subject or minor outside the registration module, please contact the Student Desk, which can refer you to the Educational Office.

• Grades

  Grades you obtain within the UT-VU cooperation are registered in Osiris-UT. You do not need to take any action for this yourself. For a VU course that is not part of your programme (extra-curricular), the grade will not be exchanged automatically. The grade can then be registered for inclusion in your programme if you request a certified grade list from VU Amsterdam and submit it to the UT. Only after approval of the examination board will the grade be processed. Your results obtained for the courses at VU Amsterdam will automatically appear in Osiris.

• Canvas, email, course schedule

  Canvas

  You will receive an account at both VU and UT. As soon as your enrolment in the programme has been completed and this has been exchanged with VU, you will receive a login code there too. You will only use VU Canvas if you are going to take courses at VU Amsterdam, for example, if you are going to do a minor in the third year.

  Email

  You will receive information from both institutions and this can be confusing, as you will not see the information relevant to you all in one place. You will also receive some information that is not relevant to you. Make sure you especially monitor the communication from UT.  

  Your VU e-mail account can be found in your profile. You can easily log in via your dashboard.

  Course schedule

  Your timetable can be found on two locations: rooster.utwente.nl and rooster.vu.nl. On rooster.vu.nl you can only see the course schedule at VU Amsterdam, so this does not give a complete overview. You can add your timetables from both institutions to your personal calendar for a complete overview.

• Student card and facilities

  Student card

  You will receive a student card from both VU and UT and have access to the buildings and facilities of both universities.

  Facilities

  You may use all VU and UT facilities such as student counsellors and student psychologists, the library and sports facilities. It does depend on the exact guidance from student counsellors at which institution you should be.

• Graduation and diploma

  You will receive a diploma from UT on which VU is also named. The graduation ceremony will take place at VU Amsterdam.

• Deregistration

  If you terminate your enrolment via Studielink, your enrolment in the programme at the partner institution will also be terminated.
