VU-net-ID
The VU-net-ID is your personal code to access the university’s various ICT services, like blackboard and your student e-mail. During the faculty introduction you will receive a letter with your VU-net-ID. If you have forgotten your VU-net-ID you should contact the Student Desk (room OA-11, main building).
Student e-mail
All students have a personal e-mail address. The Faculty will send important information to this address, so it is essential that you read your incoming mail regularly.
