TU Delft Student News

Financial scams are prevalent in all around the globe. Unfortunately that is also the case in The Netherlands. Students, especially international students as temporary residents in a foreign country, are not immune to becoming victims of scams. An alarming article about TU Delft students cheated out of thousands of euros appeared yesterday in the Delta. Do you have questions about (financial) scamming? Are you a victim of house burglary? Or is your bike stolen? Drop by the community policeman in the TU Delft Aula. Every two weeks on Wednesday on 30 March, 13 and 27 April, 11 and 25 May, and 8 and 22 June from 11PM until noon you can visit a consultation hour in the Aula where a community policeman can give you free consultation about these topics.

Do you use your laptop for your studies at TU Delft? Then wait a little longer before installing Windows 11. At this moment, not all facilities of TU Delft work properly with Windows 11 . Connecting to services such as Eduroam and the printers does not go well. TU Delft does not yet offer support for Windows 11, our manuals are for example made for Windows 10.

Have you already installed Windows 11? Then you can restore it up to 10 days after installation via the System – Recovery option. If the 10 days already have passed, we advise you to use the TU Delft student PCs if you want to print. Any problems with Windows 11 can be reported via the Self Service Portal, so that ICT can work on a solution.

ICT Nieuws: Wacht nog even met installeren van Windows 11 op je laptop

Gebruik je je laptop voor je studie aan de TU Delft? Wacht dan nog even met het installeren van Windows 11. Niet alle voorzieningen van de TU Delft werken op dit moment goed met Windows 11. Denk hierbij aan problemen met het verbinden met eduroam en de printers. TU Delft biedt momenteel nog geen ondersteuning voor Windows 11, onze handleidingen zijn bijvoorbeeld gericht op Windows 10.

 Heb je Windows 11 al geïnstalleerd? Dan kun je dit tot 10 dagen na installatie terugdraaien via de optie Systeem – Herstel (System – Recovery). Mochten de 10 dagen al voorbij zijn, dan is het advies om gebruik te maken van de studentenpc’s van de TU Delft als je bijvoorbeeld wilt printen. Eventuele problemen met Windows 11 kun je melden via het SelfService Portal, zodat ICT kan werken aan een oplossing.

The Dutch government has decided to further relax the Covid-19 measures that are still in force. That means that from now on, everyone is welcome on campus again throughout the week. We advise students to keep an eye on Brightspace to see how  this affects educational activities in the various courses.

A number of recommendations remain in place.

• If you are showing symptoms, stay at home and take a self-test. If the result is positive, get tested at municipal health service GGD. Check here when to go into quarantine and when to get tested..
• As of 23 March, the wearing of face masks will no longer be compulsory on public transport. You can still protect yourself and others by wearing a face mask in busy locations, but this is an advice only.
• It is still wise to adhere to the advice that has been shown to limit the spread of Covid-19 (and other viruses): wash your hands regularly, cough and sneeze in your elbow, and ventilate indoor areas well.
• Staff and students can still order self-tests free of charge for the time being. More information can be found at www.zelftestonderwijs.nl. In the coming period, you can also collect up to four self-tests from the Service Desks, while stocks last.
• Follow the travel advice (Dutch only) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when travelling abroad. Be well prepared on your return to the Netherlands by doing a travel check beforehand.

Finally, we ask everyone to continue to show consideration for each other in the coming period. After two years of restrictions, not everyone may feel comfortable with close contact or in crowded spaces. Give each other as much time and space as possible to adjust to the new situation. Students who, for example for health reasons, find it stressful to return to the campus, are advised to discuss this with their student advisor. Students who need help or advice in other cases can of course also turn to their study advisor.

Naturally, we remain alert to developments. If the circumstances call for it, further information will follow via this website and the other usual channels.

Het kabinet heeft besloten om de nog geldende coronamaatregelen verder te versoepelen. Iedereen is voortaan weer de hele week van harte welkom op de campus. We adviseren studenten om Brightspace in de gaten te blijven houden hoe e.e.a. uitwerkt voor het onderwijs in de verschillende vakken.

Een aantal adviezen blijft van kracht. 

• Blijf thuis als je klachten hebt en doe een zelftest. Is die positief, laat je dan testen bij de GGD. Kijk hier of je in quarantaine moet en wanneer je je moet laten testen.
• Vanaf 23 maart is het dragen van een mondkapje niet langer verplicht in het openbaar vervoer. Waar het druk is, kun je jezelf en anderen nog beschermen door het dragen van een mondkapje, maar dit is een advies.
• Het blijft verstandig om je te houden aan de adviezen die de verspreiding van het coronavirus (en andere virussen) aantoonbaar beperken: regelmatig handen wassen, hoesten en niezen in de elleboog, en goed ventileren van binnenruimtes.
• Zelftests voor medewerkers en studenten blijven voorlopig gratis te bestellen. Meer informatie kun je vinden op www.zelftestonderwijs.nl. Ook kun je de komende tijd max. vier zelftests ophalen bij de Servicepunten. Hiervoor geldt: op=op.
• Volg het reisadvies van het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken bij internationale reizen. Kom goed voorbereid terug naar Nederland: doe vooraf de reischeck.

Tot slot verzoeken we iedereen om ook de komende tijd rekening te blijven houden met elkaar. Na twee jaar van beperkingen voelt misschien niet iedereen zich gelijk weer comfortabel bij nauw contact of in drukke ruimtes. Geef elkaar zoveel mogelijk de tijd en ruimte om aan te passen aan de nieuwe situatie. Studenten die het, bijvoorbeeld om gezondheidsredenen, spannend vinden om terug te keren naar de campus, adviseren we om hierover in gesprek te gaan met hun studieadviseur. Ook in andere gevallen kunnen studenten die hulp of advies nodig hebben altijd terecht bij hun studieadviseur.

Uiteraard blijven we alert op ontwikkelingen. Mochten de omstandigheden daartoe aanleiding geven, dan volgt nadere informatie via deze website en de overige gebruikelijke kanalen.

Do you have any questions for students who are currently enrolled in a Master’s programme at TU Delft and would you like to speak to them in real life?

Sign up for the Master Market on 30 March and ask all your questions in the Aula at the TU Delft campus. More information and registration: https://www.tudelft.nl/mastersweek.

If you want to get your own room in your student city, you are often dealing with waiting times, high rents and (too) small rooms at locations you would actually prefer not to live. The student housing providers are doing something about this. They will be constructing affordable student rooms at locations where you do want to live and take your housing needs into account.
To realize this they need your input.

Due to COVID-19 you may continue to live in your home country while remotely attending college or
university in the Netherlands. Also in this case your housing preferences are of great importance.

Survey
We are conducting a survey to find out how many students will be studying where in the coming years and how these students want to live. This survey is carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior, colleges and universities. If you want to contribute to more and better suited student housing, please participate in the survey.

Participation
To participate you can click on the following link: www.wonenalsstudent.nl
The questionnaire consists of about 40 questions and takes around 10 minutes. You can fill in the
questionnaire using your smartphone, tablet or computer.
To make it even more fun, you have the chance to win great prizes:
■ Airpods Pro with wireless charging case (worth € 225)
■ The North Face Base Camp Duffelbag – Large (worth € 145)
■ 2x pimp your room with the Ikea gift card (worth € 50)
■ 4x bol.com gift card (worth € 25
