The following days the University will be closed: Monday 27 April ‘King’s day’ and Tuesday 5 May ‘Liberation Day’.

Remember services such as Career and Counselling will not be available on those days.

The measures surrounding the corona crisis are far-reaching for many of us, physically and mentally. Students have also had to deal with major money worries that sometimes even endanger the progress of their studies. The university has taken a number of measures in response to this situation.

• TU Delft will be lenient with the terms of payment of tuition fees. In principle, tuition fees will be collected at the usual times, but if collection fails, postponement is possible.
• A number of non-EEA students, who are faced with substantially higher tuition fees, will also be supported by TU Delft. This concerns non-EEA students who would have obtained their Bachelor’s or Master’s degree before 1 September 2020, but whose planned graduation is not being realised due to the corona crisis. They will be able to complete their programme during 3 months in the coming academic year (2020-2021), i.e. until 1 December 2020, at the statutory rate (instead of the higher institutional rate).

  This therefore concerns only non-EEA students in the final phase of their studies, i.e. the third bachelor year or the second master year. This is the maximum that we can currently do within the legal restrictions. The fee will be adjusted automatically; the adjustment covers a maximum of 3 months, starting on 1 September – the earliest date at which this can be realised. This scheme is currently being worked out in more detail; further information will follow.

• Finally, the university is in the process of setting up a solidarity fund, which could be used to help distressing and urgent cases with contributions from third parties.

TU Delft is currently setting up StayDelft, a large online community platform where students will be able to interact with each-other, through lots of different online activities: sports, games, cooking, karaoke, art, literature, technology, innovation, practical financial matters and much more.

We are looking for individual students and associations who are interested in helping setting up the StayDelft community. Do you have an idea for an event? A passion for a certain topic? Design or marketing skills? Or do you like to bring students together again after a few weeks of separation, now online? Then join the StayDelft community now by clicking here: www.uni-life.nl/communities/stay-delft

Due to the cancellation of the Minor event that would have taken place on 30 March, online information sessions for some non-selection minors can be followed via Zoom on 21, 22 and 23 April. The sessions are organised without obligation by the minor coordinators, who will give a presentation and who will be able to answer your questions about the minor concerned. On the website you will find the online minor sessions with the date and time they are scheduled.

Due to the pressure on the switch from physical to online education and examination, not all minors will be offered an online session.

EdX’s Remote Access Program of which TU Delft is part, offers you and other students around the world an extra opportunity to explore your interests and learn online, using a free certificate coupon (this normally costs $50 or more) to complete a chosen course on the edX platform.
