Practical information enrolment | Enrolment

ALL REQUIRED PRACTICAL INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR enrolment.

The information on this page is aimed at first-year students. This includes prospective students who are going to study at UT.

Student account

The University of Twente will give you a student account. You must check the email for this account regularly, as we communicate all information with you via this account. If you prefer to use your email account, make sure that your UT email is automatically forwarded to your account.

When will I receive my account details from ICT/LISA?

Once you are enrolled, you will receive your account details within 76 hours of completing your enrolment. You will receive your account details by email from the department LISA (ICT services). The subject of this email is: “Your new University of Twente account”.

How to get enrolled?

You will be enrolled if you meet the following conditions:

You are (conditionally) admitted
Submit certified photocopies as required
Pay the tuition fee or pre-master's amount
For non-EEA students, have a valid Dutch residence permit
Bachelor's applicants must complete mandatory admission activities
Remember to fill in your Dutch address in Studielink.

After you have met the above conditions, we will assess your enrolment request. If it is approved, we will complete your enrolment. You are only enrolled when the status in Studielink (under 'My Courses') has changed from <enrolment request submitted> to <Enrolled>. Keep a close eye on your Studielink account to check whether your enrolment has been completed. Please allow processing time.

Too late?

If your enrolment is not completed on time and in full, this may have the following consequences:

You will receive your student card and/or proof of enrolment later or not.
You cannot register for exams and/or exams on time.
You may run into problems with DUO due to unlawful possession of the public transport card or student grant.
If you are not enrolled and have used educational or examination facilities at the University of Twente, you owe the University of Twente compensation.

These consequences cannot be reversed, because retroactive enrolment is not possible according to the law.

Intake moments

The University of Twente has limited intake times.

Registration for the bachelor's degree is only possible as of 1 September
Registration for the (pre-)master's is possible from 1 September and 1 February

This means for you as a bachelor or (pre-)master student that it is very important to arrange your enrolment and payment on time, otherwise, we will not be able to enrol you.

Address

In Studielink you have to keep your mailing/correspondence address up to date. Your new address will then automatically end up in the University of Twente's student information system Osiris. Also, remember to include your mobile number so that you can be reached by telephone in the event of an emergency.

Tuition fees

Read on the website what your tuition fee rate will be for the 2025-2026 academic year. You can arrange payment of the tuition fees via Studielink. There are several options to pay your tuition fees.

Pre-master's

You pay a fee per EC to follow a pre-master's. The total fee you pay depends on the number of ECs for your pre-master's. You pay the fee in advance for your entire pre-master's programme. Per EC, you pay € 43,35.

As a pre-master's, you can arrange your payment on Studielink in one instalment or transfer the amount by a single transfer. If you have chosen in Studielink to pay in five instalments, we will convert this payment into one instalment.

Certified copies

A certified copy is a copy with an original stamp and signature to verify that it is a true copy of the original document. The official stamp and signature may be from a notary or an educational institution. Uncertified copies or scans of a diploma and/or list of marks are not legally valid and therefore cannot be accepted.

Cancelling your enrolment

Until 31 August, you can withdraw or cancel your enrolment via Studielink without paying the tuition fee. As of 1 September, you can no longer de-enrol or cancel without any tuition fee cost!
