The university has planned a new ICT maintenance weekend on 26 and 27 November. Due to this, you might experience some trouble with the wireless network. Remember to bring your network cable to stay connected, since the wired network will be working fine.

Unfortunately those of you working and studying in the TPM building will be unable to access the university network all day on Saturday, because the wired connections will be replaced.

So when you have planned to study or work at the university this weekend, bring your network cable and do not use the TPM building! When you experience problems or in case of an emergency, call +31 15 2781226

A broader interest in the ICT maintenance activities? Or you’d like to be kept up to date about maintenance work and possible disruptions? More info here clickety-click.

Are you a first year student and did you attend the opening of the academic year? We are very interested to know how your perfect Opening Academic Year 2017-2018 would look like. To pick your brain for ideas and suggestions for speakers we are organising a lunch session on Tuesday 22 November, 12:30 – 13:45 at Mekelzaal 4, Science Centre. This is your chance to speak out and influence the programme (and of course have a free lunch)!

Please let us know that you are coming by sending an email to a.e.hueber-logiantara@tudelft.nl

Are you on your way towards, or in the process of, graduating? Maybe you’re already looking for internship positions. The Tour of the Enterprises 2016 offers you the perfect opportunity to network with a variety of enterprises in the Delft region. Continue reading →

Before you read any further, first a quick check: Have you registered for you exam?

Okay, now that you have, you might have noticed during previous exams or during your central exams at high school: they’re a serious thing! We love to help you out so we made this small illustration about things you should keep in mind while making  your exams.

Now they might seem obvious but, for instance, did you know that when you do not turn your phone completely off, you could be seen as committing fraud? Better to avoid that risk altogether. And if you have any brothers or sisters you can definitely relate to this one: hearing someone eat noisy foods is so annoying! Continue reading →

It is time for Maintenance once again! During this ICT Maintenance Weekend on 15 and 16 October, you might experience service interruptions affecting a large number of ICT services on Saturday, including A-select/MDS, Blackboard, PeopleSoft and the TU Delft website. There will also be short network interruptions affecting the wired and wireless network. Furthermore, maintenance work will be carried out on the faculty-managed servers on Saturday.

When you want to study or work in the CEG building, you will be unable to access the TU Delft network (both wired and wireless) for the entire day while the wired connections are being replaced. (check out this link for more information)

Important: In the event of an emergency, call +31 15 2781226!

Please take the maintenance activities into account when planning your work. If the maintenance work on Saturday takes longer than expected, it will be continued on Sunday. The university apologises for any inconvenience caused by the maintenance work and thank you for your understanding. You can find more information about these activities here.

If you have any questions about the maintenance weekend, please contact the Service Desk in your building. If you would like to remain informed about all maintenance work and possible disruptions, click here.

As you might have read in the email you received earlier this Tuesday: the problems with the electricity at CEG are under control. On Wednesday October 12^th all educational, research and office activities in the main building (building 23) can continue as scheduled. Report any irregularity that you might encounter to the Service desk in the usual manner. But be nice to them, they’ve been working very hard to get everything up and running again.

In the words of CEG dean Bert Geerken: “We noticed that many colleagues and students have been very creative in solving complicated situations that occurred when the building was closed. This provided us with the opportunity to fully focus on repairing the situation. Thank you all for your effort!”

Students in general, but especially first year students, do not have the healthiest reputation. “Studeren is combineren”, and therefore, “4 hours of sleep a night is plenty”. Since you never learned how to cook for yourself, you often end up with a pizza from the fridge, and the 200m walk from your house to the supermarket (with a crate of beer in each hand) perfectly counts as sport.
