On MyTimetable, you will find your timetable. When you log in to MyTimetable, you can link the courses you are taking to your personal timetable. This is automatically saved and displayed again the next time you log in.
You must register for all parts of your courses, such as lectures, tutorials and exams. This applies to both the mandatory components of your study programme and to study activities within your elective courses. Without registration, you cannot take part. Here you will find all important information about registering for courses and exams.
You can use free wifi in all university buildings. By logging onto the Eduroam network with your ULCN username and password, you will be automatically connected to the network.
All communication from the university goes through uMail. You get your own uMail address and log in via your UCLN account.
With more than 100 study places, the library in Wijnhaven is a pleasant place to study. There are computers, a printer and you can borrow books. The library is open seven days a week.
uSis is the university's administrative system. All grades, courses and other data related to your enrolment are processed in it
You use your ULCN account to log in to various systems at the university. You can think about your uMail, Brightspace, the Student Portal and reserving a study place, for example.
Brightspace is the university's online learning environment. On Brightspace you will find information about the courses, such as lecture and workgroup slides, assignments from lecturers and papers. You access Brightspace by logging in with your ULCN account.
As a student, you will receive two cards: a LU-Card and a College Card. The LU-Card counts as your proof of identity and gives you access to the buildings and it is also your printing and copying card. You must apply for this card yourself. Your college or registration card is your proof of enrolment at the university.
Do you need a study place? Then you can make use of the various study spots in Wijnhaven. There are study areas where you can always sit and do not need to make reservations, but also areas where you need to make reservations (during exam time).
You can do this via the SharedDesk platform. Simply log in via Okku with your ULCN details, choose the place where you would like to sit and confirm your choice.
Via het Studentenportaal kies je de werkgroepen, vakken en tentamens die jij wil volgen.
Let op: je kan pas deelnemen aan tentamens, als je je tentameninschrijving via het Studentenportaal hebt bevestigd. Je vindt er ook MyTimetable, MyStudymap en je cijfers.
Als student van de universiteit kun je vaak gratis of tegen een gereduceerd tarief software aanschaffen. Dit geldt voor online programma’s voor planning, cloudopslag, anti-virussoftware en nog veel meer.
Student centre Beehives is also home to The Buzz. At The Buzz, you can work out according to the latest and most innovative insights. There is also a room where you can join many different group classes.
