Dear student,

Welcome to the Institute of Engineering at the start of a new academic year!

To help you find your way through the Institute, this guide provides you with a lot of essential practical information.

I wish you lots of success with your studies and a pleasant time at our Institute!

Peta de Vries,
Dean Institute of Engineering

                                                                                                                     4
1. Organisation

1.1. Communication
Intranet: when you log on to www.hanze.nl you will be directed to the intranet. There you will find extensive and
up-to-date information about your study programme. Both Hanze UAS and your study department post news
items here on a daily basis. Therefore, you are expected to read the news items regularly.
Blackboard: from the Intranet you can log on to various applications, such as the electronic learning environment
Blackboard. On Blackboard, the content of your study programme is published, as well as information on
planning, assignments, announcements, etc.. Blackboard is one of the primary means of communication between
lecturers and students.
E-mail: every student receives a Hanze e-mail account to which information is sent on a regular basis. You are
expected to read your e-mail on a daily basis.

GENERAL
At Hanze UAS, appropriate manners are the norm, both in spoken and written communication.

1.2. Front Office
For all information not directly related to the content of your study programme, you can contact the Front Office.
The Front Office is located in the C1 corridor of the Van DoorenVeste, Zernikeplein 11. You can contact the Front
Office for:
- General questions
- Submission of reports (this only applies to the Bachelor’s programmes, not the Master’s programmes).

The Front Office is open every day.

The management assistants of the Bachelor’s programmes are:

                                                                                                                 5

1.3. Intranet – Hanze.nl
On the intranet, you will find the latest news from Hanze UAS and your study department, e.g. absence and
sickness notifications from lecturers, important messages from your study department, and also useful links to
e.g. Blackboard, Digirooster, Webmail and the ICT helpdesk..
You are expected to read the news on the intranet's homepage on a daily basis. After logging on to the website
www.hanze.nl, you will be directed to the intranet.

1.4. Blackboard
Blackboard is the electronic learning environment that is used as the main tool for providing education at Hanze
UAS. Blackboard can be accessed by the shortcut menu on the intranet: Hanze.nl > [ log in] > Quick to >
Blackboard.

When you click on the Bb button, you will be directed to the learning environment. When participating in
education, you need to enrol yourself for the courses you will do. In the BB courses you will find information about
the content of the courses and the assignments. During the introduction week, you will receive instructions about
the use of Blackboard.

1.5.    Email messages
Each student receives a Hanze UAS e-mail account. Hanze UAS uses this medium as a source of information.
Consult your email account regularly and use it to e-mail lecturers and other employees. Usually a student can
expect a response from a lecturer within three working days.
Student email addresses are as follows: [name]@st.hanze.nl.
Email addresses of lecturers and other staff members are as follows: [name]@pl.hanze.nl.

1.6. Osiris
Osiris is the student information system where you register for courses and exams and where you can view your
study progress.

Osiris can be opened via intranet. On the first page you will find the Osiris button. When you click on this button
you will get to the page where you can click on: Login to OSIRIS Student.

You will receive instructions on the use of Osiris during the introduction week.

1.7. Examinations and resits
You have to register for all examinations by using Osiris (https://osiris.hanze.nl/student). Registration for the
examinations is mandatory and done automatically if you have registered for specific courses in Osiris.
For resit examinations you have to register separately.
You can register until 10 working days before the examination date at the latest.
Examinations are written exams as well as assignments, portfolios, etc..

For the exams of period 4 it is better to register for both opportunities (exam and resit). Once your grade for the
first chance is known, there is not enough time left to register for the second exam opportunity.

                                                                                                                      6
DEREGISTRATION
If the result of an exam is satisfactory, you will be automatically deregistered. If you would like to obtain a higher
grade, you yourself are responsible for re-enrolling for the second opportunity in Osiris. If the registration period
has expired, please submit a request to the examination board. Deregistration is possible for written examinations
up to 2 days before the test. If you don’t do this, this will be considered a missed opportunity. This is possible for
examinations that are offered more than once. A missed opportunity registration counts as an opportunity.

1.8. Examination results
You can view your study results and your study progress in Osiris.

1.9.    Examination board
