THE COURSE OF MY CHOICE IS FULL. WHAT CAN I DO?

You may ask to have your name put on a waiting list. If a place becomes available you will be contacted and invited to register.

I DON'T KNOW WHICH COURSE FEE I HAVE TO PAY

If you are a student and you are not sure what your official student status is, please contact the study advisor in your department.

WHICH PAYMENT METHODS CAN I USE?

Students:

At the Student Services desk you can pay using PIN. If that does not work, you need to pay at the Centrale Kas in building Spiegel, room 605. Hand in the receipt together with your registration form at the Student Services desk in the Vrijhof. Payment in cash is not possible.

All payments need to be made in full; it is not possible to pay in instalments.

Staff / PhD:

If your department is paying for you, please give the name of your manager or supervisor and the OFI-number to which the course can be charged. If you pay for the course yourself, you will receive an invoice.

I DON'T KNOW MY DIALANG SCORES

For some courses it is essential that the TCP has detailed information about your current level of language proficiency. In those cases it is essential that you give us your Dialang scores.

For instructions on how to use Dialang, see www.utwente.nl/tcp and go to DIALANG AND CEF.

If you omit to fill in the Dialang scores on your registration form, your registration will not be processed. If you provide false information about previous knowledge of the language in question, your registration will be annulled and registration fees already paid will not be reimbursed

Will I receive a certificate after completion of the course?

A certificate of attendance will be issued to those course participants who were present at and have actively taken part in at least 75% of the lessons.

Due to circumstances I cannot start the course for which I registered. Will I get my money back?

Cancellation by the course participant is possible only BEFORE registration closes. Candidates should contact the TCP in writing, stating full personal and course details. Course fees already paid will be reimbursed.

Cancellation by the course participant AFTER registration has closed will NOT lead to a refund. An exception may be made in the case of pressing personal circumstances, such as hospital admission. In such situations a request for a refund can be made in writing, stating relevant personal and course details.

If the TCP has to cancel the course for which you registered, you will of course be fully reimbursed.

I WISH TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. WHAT DO I DO?

If you are unhappy about the offer of language courses for students or the rates that apply to the various groups of students, please contact your supervisor.

For complaints about the content or the organisation of any of our courses, please contact the TCP at tcp@utwente.nl.
