- Be 100% sure that you insert the correct email address you will have access to at all times and do not use a school email account, as this may be blocked once you have graduated from secondary school in the summer. You are responsible for keeping your contact details up to date and checking your spam-folder.
- Your password for Studielink will be sent to you by email. If you do not receive anything, please check your spam folder. Is your password missing in your spam folder as well? Please contact the Erasmus Student Service Centre by phone on 0031.10.408.8880
