Starting a new journey can feel a bit overwhelming. Do you need some help upon arrival? Please contact the Centre of International Affairs or your International Academic Coordinator (contact details below).
What's next?
As a new exchange student you will receive a student card upon arrival. This card is valid as long as you are enrolled at Rotterdam UAS. The student card is your proof of enrolment. You will have to show your student card upon request, when borrowing books and items and for printing.
The student card cannot be used as a proof of identity to take the exams. In order to take the exams, you must show your identity card, passport or Dutch residence card (residence permit).
During the introduction week you will be informed by the Centre of International Affairs when and where you can collect your student card.
Once started with your exchange programme, please make sure to check your RUAS student email (@hr.nl) on a regular basis. All university related matters will be sent to this email address.
Learning Agreements (before/during/after mobility)
EU-students can upload their Learning Agreement into Mobility Online, so the International Academic Coordinator can review and sign your Learning Agreement. If your Learning Agreement has been approved, you will receive a signed copy by email. If your Learning Agreement has been rejected, you will receive further instructions by email. In your Letter of Acceptance you can find the name and email address of your International Academic Coordinator.
