How to apply guide OT-Euromaster

 

Finalise your enrolment

  • Have you already paid your tuition fees and taken all the steps necessary to finalise your enrolment? Check your Enrolment Checklist to see if you missed anything. Please note that the points 6, 7, 8, 12 and 13 of the roadmap do not apply to OT-EuroMaster students.
  • You need to complete all the steps before you can start your degree programme in September. 
  • Your enrolment is official when you receive a notification of Proof of Enrolment, which will be sent to your @hva.nl email address.

AUAS ID and password

  • With your AUAS ID and password, you have access to AUAS's websites, systems, apps and computers.
  • After enrolling at AUAS, you will receive a welcome email containing your AUAS ID (username).
  • Your AUAS ID is a combination of your first name and surname. Don’t get it confused with your student ID number (50xxxxx) or your AUAS email address.
  • At id.student.hva.nl you can activate your AUAS ID. If you have forgotten your password or want to change it, go also to this page.
  • Please keep in mind that when your private email address is mentioned, this is the address you are registered with in Studielink.
  • More information about activating your AUAS ID and changing or resetting your password.

Please note: if you don’t live in the Netherlands, your student ID card will not be sent to your home address. It will be ready for you to collect from one of the AUAS service points.

Two-step verification

  • When logging into AUAS systems and apps two-step verification (MFA) is needed. This is an extra security measure that helps ascertain the identity of the person logging in with a greater degree of certainty.
  • How does it work? After logging in with your AUAS-ID and password you confirm with the Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile device that you are logging in.
  • Setting up? See two-step verification (opent in nieuw venster) for a detailed instruction.

Email

When you start studying at AUAS you will get your own AUAS email. Here you will receive all important messages from your teachers and from AUAS.

  • Go to Outlook (opent in nieuw venster) to check your email.
  • Login with your AUAS email address. Use the same password from your AUAS-ID.
  • First set up your two-step verification, otherwise you cannot open your email.
  • Note: At the start of your degree programme, messages to your AUAS email account are automatically forwarded to your private email address. Turn this forwarding off as soon as your enrolment becomes final. This will prevent important messages from ending up in your spam folder. To do so, go to id.hva.nl/details and untick ‘Forwarding address’.

Software

At AUAS, you can use various software for your studies free of charge.

  • With Microsoft 365, you have access to the latest version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, among others. You also get 1 terabyte of storage space in OneDrive and can collaborate online on files with Microsoft Teams. Visit mijnhva.nl/Microsoft365 (opent in nieuw venster) for more information.
  • Through apps.hva.nl, you can use software installed on AUAS computers for free on your own computer. Check software and apps for a complete overview.
  • At the same page you can also find even more apps, software, and other digital tools to support your studies.
  • Need to purchase software? Surfspot (opent in nieuw venster) offers discounts on many software and hardware products, including laptops and smartphones.

Wi-Fi

  • You have fast and secure internet access to all AUAS information systems through the 'hva' or 'eduroam' network.
  • Follow the steps to set up the Wi-Fi and you will automatically connect to the network at all AUAS locations from then on.

EduVPN

When you use a public or unsecured Wi-Fi network – such as in a café, library, your student residence or a hotel – your connection is vulnerable. With eduVPN, you can always use the Internet securely, even outside AUAS.
