Why is my enrolment not completed yet?

There could be multiple reasons for this:

We have not yet received and/or processed your certified photocopies. The processing can take one or two weeks after we receive them. We thank you for your patience during this busy time of the year.
We have not yet received and/or processed your tuition fee. This year there is some delay in our system. It can take up to one month until your international transfer is processed. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to resolve this issue as fast as possible.
You have paid the tuition fee, but have not yet entered your payment details in Studielink. Please enter your method of payment.
You do not meet the enrolment criteria. Your binding recommendation (BSA) is not yet determined by your study advisor, your bachelor's diploma is not yet registered, your Navitas graduation has not yet been processed or your results of your pre-master's are not yet registered

Temporary housing facilities
As you may have read, we are in the process of realising temporary housing units as we are experiencing a shortage at the moment, making it difficult for students to find suitable accommodation in and around Enschede.
First-year students (bachelor's, pre-master's, master's and exchange) have received an email to enquire whether they would like to make use of these facilities. Conditions do apply. A random draw will be used to select students that will receive an offer for this.

Warning: Scammers are targeting (international) students at UT
We have received reports that scammers are targeting students in their schemes by email or phone calls. They attempt to pressure students into putting their money into illegit bank accounts, or by telling you an issue can be solved by making a payment. Scammers will pretend to be representatives from our university, a government agency, bank or an insurance company.
In case you receive a phone call or email you do not trust, do not reveal personal details, hang up your phone and call the organization yourself. Lastly, keep in mind that you will never receive a phone call by the IND that you will be deported or that your residence permit will be cancelled. In case something is wrong with regards to your residence permit, you will be notified by the University of Twente, stay safe!
