Below you will find times for the program specific roll-calls, click on the campus names below for times and room allocation.

Please note that the room allocation is still preliminary and can be changed. Do not mention a specific room in your welcome letters or course schedule, instead refer students to the new student pages. This makes things easier should we need to change something.

On roll-call day, programme directors of studies and other staff receiving the students must be present in good time to welcome new students.

Attending roll-call is compulsory

Attending roll-call is compulsory for all newly admitted programme students. Compulsory attendance at digital roll-calls applies to students admitted to distance learning programmes.

Students who cannot attend roll-call
