Information
2015 - 2016
CONTENT
Welcome at
Hanzehogeschool
Groningen!
This booklet is intended for all students of Hanze University
of Applied Sciences (or Hanze UAS). It contains a summary
of information about all the facilities we have in place to
help you with your studies.
We have over 27.000 students studying more than 70
programmes, and we employ some 3,000 staff. Most
programmes are taught on the Zernike Campus, but some
are based in the centre of Groningen and a few are taught
in Leeuwarden, Assen and Amsterdam.
Hanze UAS provides modern, top-of-the-range facilities to
allow you to concentrate properly on your studies. These
include free wireless internet, as well as sports and leisure
facilities so that you can meet and socialise with fellow
students. Try visiting the Atrium on the Zernike Campus,
a light, inspiring place, intended for relaxing and meeting
other students and staff.
CONTENT
Hanze UAS is keen for students to take an active part
in all the processes going on within the organisation.
You can use any facilities in any building, regardless of
the programme you are following. If your building does
not have a project room or spare computer station, for
example, you can simply go to another building to find the
room you need.
In order to maintain a pleasant environment for studying
and working, changes and renovations are regularly
carried out in the buildings of Hanze University of Applied
Sciences. A lot of work has already been planned for this
academic year. For example, a new auditorium is to be built
in the Van DoorenVeste and several classrooms will be
modified, the Hanze Media Centre in the Van OlstToren was
renovated during the summer holidays and the Wiebenga
complex and the Prince Claus Conservatorium will undergo
major renovations during the next few years.
The renovations may cause a certain degree of nuisance,
which we will naturally try to keep to a minimum. In the
meantime, we wish you all the best at Hanze University of
Applied Sciences Groningen!

offer a wide range of food and drink, including healthy,
organic and Fairtrade products, as well as popular fast-food
options. The buildings also have vending machines for hot

CONTENT
IT facilities
Hanze UAS has all the latest technology. You can connect
to the free wireless internet on your laptop, telephone or
tablet in any building, allowing you to work wherever you
are. Studying at Hanze UAS is much easier if you have your
own laptop, although there are also PCs in all the buildings.
You can use any PC, regardless of where your programme
is actually based. The standard number of PCs at Hanze
UAS is 1 for every twelve students. This may seem like a lot,
but it may still be difficult to find a spare PC during ‘rush
hours’. Various buildings have hung screens showing live
availability of PCs, and you will find up-to-date information
on WBA.HANZE.NL.
Tips and rules for using computers
You may only use the computers for studying; don’t keep
other students waiting while you play computer games
Don’t keep a computer to yourself if you are not actually
using it
Log off when you have finished working
Specific rules apply at some workstations; always stick to
these rules
Please report defective PCs, printers or plug-in points to
the IT Support Centre, tel. (050) 595 4566 or via e-mail to
[email protected]. They will arrange
for someone to carry out the repairs
Take ‘rush hours’ into account and try to use PCs when
there is less demand. For up-to-date availability, go
to WBA.HANZE.NL or consult the screens showing live
information
CONTENT
If a classroom has been reserved for teaching, the PCs are
only available to students attending that class

Helpdesk, which is located on the ground floor of the A0
wing of Zernikeplein 11. You can also call or send an e-mail
for extra support: telephone (050) 595 4566, e-mail ICT.

CONTENT
at Zernikeplein 11 (A0 wing), or in the Wiebenga cComplex,

Electronic learning
Hanze Electronic Learning Environment is the collective
name for all digital applications provided by Hanze UAS via
internet. All these digital applications are shown on HANZE.
NL.
You will need HANZE.NL regularly while you are studying
as this is the place to find information relating to your
programme, such as schedules, timetable changes, study
manuals, news items, etc.
Pop-up in De Plint
De Plint, a fabulous strategic location on the Zernike
Campus, has a terrific area that is currently vacant. We think
this is a terrible waste so we have turned it into a pop-up
‘student chill area’, where students can meet up, chill, enjoy
a healthy drink or a bite to eat, play table football or just sit
and watch the world go by...
You can chill from 31 August until the autumn break (at
least)!
CONTENT
Wireless!
You can use the wireless internet for working on your laptop
throughout Hanze UAS. Go to WWW.HANZE.NL/WIRELESS or
ask at the AV/IT Helpdesk.
Printing, photocopying and scanning
You can send a print command from the PCs in the
buildings or from your laptop. You simply log on to printers
to print, copy or scan using your OV chip card or a special
printer card supplied by Hanze UAS. You must obviously
have enough print credit. If not, simply top up your card
online using iDeal. More information is available on HANZE.

information, go to WWW.EDUROAM.NL
Software
Software can be expensive. Hanze UAS has contracts with a
number of suppliers, such as WWW.SURFSPOT. NL, so that you
can get a good deal.
Rights and
obligations
Take Care
Hanze UAS is not only the place where you study; you also
become part of the Hanze community. You and the staff
have joint responsibility for making sure that everything
in the buildings goes smoothly and for keeping your
learning environment clean and tidy. Hanze UAS does have
house rules as such, but expects all its students to observe
the Take Care ideology: ‘Create a pleasant learning and
working environment together’. Among other things, this
means disposing of your own rubbish, only smoking in the
designated areas, parking your bike in the bike racks and
taking due care of Hanze UAS property.
Student Charter
Hanze UAS must also comply with certain rules. For
example, there is a rule specifying that students must
be informed of exam results as soon as possible, within
fifteen working days of taking the exam at the most. Rights
and obligations must obviously be laid down with the
utmost care. The main rights and obligations applying to
students are set out in the Student Charter. These include
matters such as tuition fees, the quality of teaching, study
supervision, examination regulations, student facilities,
codes of conduct, the registration of personal data and
CONTENT
CONTENT
rules on undesirable behaviour. Some of the rights and
obligations are compulsory by law, while others have been
put in place by Hanze UAS. Everyone who enrols at Hanze
UAS is automatically subject to the rights and obligations.
You can read the Student Charter on WWW.HANZE.NL/
STUDENTENSTATUUT.
Certain other rules and regulations may apply to your
particular programme. You will find them on the
programme pages of HANZE.NL.
Student confidential advisor
Hanze UAS wants to provide a safe, pleasant environment
for you to study, and has devised policy to tackle undesirable
behaviour. If you are confronted with undesirable behaviour,
you should contact the (external) student confidential
advisor, Charisma Bijlefeld. She is available from Monday
to Friday at [email protected], on tel. +31 (0)64 615 3934
or through the secretary at the student counsellor’s office,
Zernikeplein 7, tel. +31 (0)50 595 4028.
Complaints and Disputes Office
The Complaints and Disputes Office is an independent body
that deals with objections and appeals. If you do not agree
with a decision and think that it has damaged your interests,
you can file an objection with the Student Appeals Board of
Hanze UAS. The Complaints Committee for Undesirable
Behaviour deals with complaints relating to all forms of
undesirable behaviour and harassment. The Whistleblower’s Regulations Committee investigates suspected
misunderstandings. You will find the Complaints and
Disputes Office on HANZE.NL, under HANZE.NL/RECHTEN.
Participation Council
Many of the decisions made in an organisation the size of a
university of applied sciences will logically affect everyone
working or studying there. These decisions are made not
only by managers and administrators. Participation councils
have also been established to assess all decisions with farreaching implications. The participation councils comprise
an equal number of students and staff members. If you
would like to make your voice heard, you will find more
information on HANZE.NL/MEDEZEGGENSCHAP.

representative
activities
Can you imagine the buzz you get out of organising an
event, spurring students into action or consulting with
management about policy? Apart from the buzz, taking

certificate which looks good on your CV. Hanze UAS wants
to encourage students to be actively involved in student
representative bodies, such as a participation council, a
student association, ACLO, KEI or Studium Generale. The
possibilities are outlined later in this chapter, or you can
ask the Student Activities Foundation (SSA) or an academic
counsellor about the opportunities and facilities open to
you.

representative body can apply for a student representative
grant or flexible open credits. Go to HANZE.NL/RECHTEN/ for

participate in student representative bodies alongside their

through this talent programme. It goes without saying that
students wishing to follow one of these talent tracks must

Hanze UAS is an open institute of higher education, in
which active tolerance is a key principle. Detection gates are
not part of the deal. The location manager of each building is
responsible for ensuring that the building remains in tiptop
condition at all times. But they cannot do this on their own;
everyone who uses the building - staff, students and visitors
- has a duty to report anything untoward. Posters with
instructions about what to do in the event of an emergency
have been hung in every classroom.
