Start here with the checklist of ICT services for employees. 

WORKSTATION 

  • Windows Workstation @UT

    Windows 11 is the standard of the UT workstation (desktop and notebook). As a result of the user being the administrator on the computer it is possible to install software yourself. LISA provides several services like the installation of Windows 10 and some of the logon services. We also provide the required level of security regarding the workstation. Click here for more information about workstations.

    Note: When you log on to a UT workstation for the first time, make sure you are connected to the wired UT network or the eduroam (wireless) network first.

Apps

  • Campus Crowd app

    To support our staff and students if they have to get to campus, we have been working on a CampusCrowdMap. You can use the map to find out which places are currently crowded and which are not. The crowd map is based on the number of devices connected to the Eduroam and Enschede_Stad_van_Nu Wi-Fi networks. No personal data will be stored. CampusCrowdMap provides an estimate that helps you decide which places are safe and which should be avoided.

  • UT campus app

    FIND YOUR WAY AROUND THE UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE.

    The Campus app guides you to your meeting, the parking spot closest to your appointment or any other outdoors point of interest. As a student of the University of Twente, the app also shows you your timetable information. Don’t have a meeting on the campus yet? Don’t worry, the Campus app allows you to explore the campus, see and join upcoming events or post on the message board. If you’re already here, you can even see which events are happening near you right now!

Tips/advice

  • To keep your workstation in a good condition it is advised to restart your workstation regularly. The advice is to restart it at least once a week.
  • On the taskbar there is an icon “Mail”, this application can’t be used for the email of the university. Always use Microsoft Outlook. You can remove the “Mail” icon and replace it with the Outlook icon
  • The folder “Documents” is stored locally on the workstation, there is no automatic backup.
  • Type “default programs” in the start-menu to change for instance the default web browser or the program to open PDF-files.
