Students Tilburg University

Complete your enrollment

You are now registered in Studielink and your details have been forwarded to Tilburg University. There are just a few steps to take before the Student Administration of Tilburg University can complete your enrollment. Your enrollment will be finalized after completing step 5.

The Student Administration will email you a number of times about your enrollment, using the email address you provided when registering in Studielink.

Step 1: Message about your Tilburg University account

Once you have registered in Studielink for the new academic year, your data will be forwarded to Tilburg University. If you are a new student enrolling for the first time at Tilburg University, you will receive an email from our Library and IT Services containing the login information for your Tilburg University account. This email will be sent to the email address you have indicated in Studielink. Students who (re-)enroll after a break will also receive this email. It will include your:

  • Student number.
  • Username.
  • Tilburg University email address.
  • Information on where to go with any questions about accessing the university’s computer network.

Please read this information carefully.

PLEASE NOTE! The enrollment process has not yet been finalized when you receive this email. Continue reading on this webpage about completing your enrollment.

Students who re-enroll at Tilburg University (even if they enroll for another program) keep the same login information. They will not receive a separate email with login details.

Step 2: Check the status of your enrollment

You can check your enrollment status in OSIRIS Student. You can access OSIRIS Student with your Tilburg University account (see step 1) and see which items are still pending. 

You can find more information about the items that may appear in OSIRIS Student on the To-do list for enrollment at Tilburg University webpage.

Step 3: Message about payment of tuition/weighted fees

After you have registered in Studielink and Tilburg University has received your (new) information, the university will send you an email concerning the payment methods of the tuition/weighted fees. This email will be sent mid-June and will be sent to the email address you have indicated in Studielink.

Step 4: (If necessary) Submit Proof of tuition fee payment

If you want to enroll at two higher educational institutions in the Netherlands (WO or HBO) and the statutory rate applies to you in both instances, you may only have to pay the statutory fee once. You pay tuition fee at one educational institution and you submit a Proof of tuition fee payment (BBC) at the other educational institution.

Payment with BBC at Tilburg University

If you are registered at another accredited Dutch WO or HBO institution for higher education and if you have paid the statutory tuition fee there, you may be exempted from paying tuition fee at Tilburg University if you qualify for the statutory fee at Tilburg University.

Please indicate (when possible and applicable) in Studielink that you wish to pay with a BBC at Tilburg University (this is possible from mid- June). If the other educational institution supports it, the BBC can be requested and forwarded digitally in Studielink. In mid-June you will receive an email about entering your payment details in Studielink.

If the other educational institution does not support this, you will have to manually request a BBC from the other educational institution where you have already paid your tuition fee. The educational institution will send the BBC directly to Tilburg University. You can then indicate in Studielink that you will pay by means of a BBC from another institution. After receiving the BBC, your tuition fees will be settled with the amount on your BBC.

BBC from Tilburg University for other educational institution

If you pay tuition fees to Tilburg University, you may be able to pay at the other educational institution via a digital BBC request in Studielink (at the payment option at the other institution). If this is not supported, you can request a BBC online once all registration requirements have been met and you have received your Enrollment Certificate. The BBC will be sent directly to the other Dutch WO or HBO institution. 

Step 5: Enrollment Certificate

Once you have completed the entire enrollment procedure (including payment of tuition/weighted fees), you will receive an Enrollment Certificate by email at the email address you have indicated in Studielink. From that moment on, you are officially enrolled at Tilburg University. You will receive a separate Enrollment Certificate per study program, after all enrollment requirements have been met.

If you have completed the entire enrollment procedure before September 1/February 1 and have not received your Enrollment Certificate by email by mid-September/mid-February, please contact the Student Desk.

Note for pre-Master’s students

Pre-Master’s students do not get an Enrollment Certificate. Instead, they will receive an email to confirm the completion of their enrollment.
