Dear ,
Congratulations on accepting your offer to study at Amsterdam University College and we are delighted to welcome you to the AUC community! To help you make the most of the months ahead, we'll be keeping you up-to-date on what you can expect from us over the summer and highlight some practical steps to make your transition to life at AUC as smooth as possible.
We will be sending you monthly newsletters until AUC Introduction Week starts at the end of August. Please keep in mind that essential need-to-know procedures and policies, such as enrolment and submitting course preferences, will be communicated to you through our Admissions Office.
Kind regards,
Linda Valenta
On behalf of AUC Communications

▶ WELCOME TO AUC: A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Curious about your classmates and future neighbours? You can connect with other students starting at AUC by joining the WhatsApp Group for the Class of 2027. You can use this group as a resource to ask each other questions and learn who else will be arriving in August.
You can also start following the AUC Student Association and Student Council on Instagram to get a sense of what activities are happening on campus. Please note that joining this group is optional - you won't miss any essential information if you do not join.

Now that you've accepted your offer, you must finalise your enrolment in Studielink as soon as possible. You should have received an email from our Admissions Office informing you of this procedure. All incoming students will first be registered at (and pay tuition to) the University of Amsterdam. If you didn't receive this email or you're unsure about how to proceed, please send an email to servicedesk@auc.nl. Please note that the sooner you complete this step, the better!

Since you are a late applicant, you will be manually allocated housing; you will not partake in the regular selection procedure. Our Housing Officer, Naomi Tuinier, will be in touch with you to accommodate you in the most suitable house possible. You will most likely be allocated a 2-person or a 4-person shared apartment. You can find more information about the types of apartments on our website.

Have you already completed, or will you complete at least 30 European Credits (EC)? You can request transfer of credit up to 30 EC (and in exceptional cases 60 EC). Send the completed transfer of credit request form and all required accompanying documentation to AUC Admissions before 15 June 2024. Make sure to complete this request on time. If you miss this deadline, you can only get a course waiver and not a transfer of credit.
|
|
We'd like to kindly remind you that it's essential to submit your final test results and transcripts to AUC prior to 1 July in order to complete your enrolment. We understand that the end of the term can be a busy time, with exams and other commitments, but we need to receive your final test results and transcripts as soon as possible to avoid any delay in processing your enrolment. If you already know that you won't be able to submit your final exams or your grades will not be available until after 1 July, please get in touch with our Admissions Office (if you haven't done so already).

If you're a Dutch student, then you don't have to take any action. If you're coming from abroad, don't forget that Dutch law requires all international students to have appropriate health insurance for their entire stay in the Netherlands from the moment they arrive. You should check whether your current insurance covers your stay and if you are happy with what it consists of. The UvA website provides more information about insurance and includes details on things to consider when choosing a health insurance provider.

If you're curious about what you'll need to complete in terms of administration and housing selection before starting at AUC, have a look at the Accepted Students Page! You can find the landing page via the link below which includes resources related to admissions and enrolment, the housing selection procedure, visas and immigration, and practical matters about moving to Amsterdam and starting your studies. This page will be updated with practical information regularly until August.
