All non-European and non-EFTA students who are admitted to a BSc programme will receive an invoice.

In case you have a sponsor or a scholarship, you have to inform us as soon as possible and before the payment deadline. After we receive the scholarship letter we will decide whether we can accept it as a payment guarantee. In case we accept the letter, we will send an invoice to the scholarship and when necessary an additional invoice to the student for remaining costs that are not covered by the scholarship. The deadline for the additional invoice is 1 July.

The payment deadline is 1 July (expect to receive an invoice as from March). Please be aware this is a strict deadline, necessary in order to have enough time to apply for your legal residence. 

Instruction with regards to payment can be found on your invoice.

In the case you have indicated that you will pay the BSc study by a sponsor, your sponsor will be contacted to arrange the financial matters after the receipt and acceptance of your fellowship letter.

For bachelor’s students at Wageningen University, there are two possible types of scholarships available: the Holland Scholarship and the Orange Tulip Scholarship. See this page for more information.

Your (conditional) admission was based on the documents you have uploaded in the application portal (Osiris). These uploads are not sufficient for the enrollment.

For the actual enrollment we require the certified documents* as mentioned in your result letter. If your documents are not in Dutch, English, French or German, we also need to receive a certified English translation from your school (with an original stamp and signature) or from a sworn translator.

*What is a certified copy?

A certified copy is a duplicate of the original document which is (after making a hard copy) affixed with an original stamp/seal and signature by the issuing institution. Just a regular photo-copy of a certified copy with no original stamp/signature is not certified and will NOT be accepted. Certification of a document can be done by the institution you gained the degree from or by an authorized person like a solicitor or notary.

Please read and check your personal result letter thoroughly for your admission requirements and the documents we require for the enrollment.**

Deadline for supplying the documents:

> July 1^st (in case you receive your diploma results between 1 and 15 July your documents are still accepted when we receive them before 15 July. Your graduation date can therefore not be after July 15^th)

You can send all required certified hard copies to:

Wageningen University

Student Service Centre

Admissions Office

Droevendaalsesteeg 2

6708 PB Wageningen

The Netherlands

**A certified statement of graduation is also accepted if you have graduated but have not obtained your official diploma certificate yet. We will however require to see the original diploma certificate when you have obtained it.

In the Netherlands, a study choice check also called Matching (online questionnaire) is obligatory for all future bachelor’s students.

Visit the website for more information.

As soon as you have paid the fees (step 1) and the admission office have received your documents and decide that you meet all admission requirements (step 2), the Student Immigration Office will start your entry visa/residence permit procedure.

For visa application a valid passport is required, so make sure your passport scan is uploaded in the application portal with the following details:

• All your personal data
• Your signature
• Your passport number
• Date of issue
• Expiry date. Your passport should at least be valid until 6 months after the start date of your programme. However, we recommend a passport that is valid until 4 months after the end date of your study
• When you have been to the Netherlands before, submit the page with the exit stamp of the custom services at the airport

Student Immigration Office of Wageningen University & Research will send you instructions and forms (roadmap) upon receipt of your payment and/or fellowship letter.

Wageningen University has a large community of students. Finding a room in Wageningen or the surrounding area is not always easy. Most students in Wageningen rent a room through Idealis (the main student housing cooperation in Wageningen), but you can also choose to search for a room yourself through other channels.

As a prospective student at Wageningen University you can register and apply for room at Idealis via ROOM.nl. You can get priority at Idealis if you live further away than 130 km from Wageningen. On this page you will find more tips about finding a room.

Note: it is very important that you pay your tuition fee at Wageningen University on time. Only after you paid your tuition fee, you can apply for a room with priority based on your home address.

The best start to your studies is to participate in the Annual Introduction Days (AID). Every year, around 95% of all new students participate in the AID and we make sure there’s something for everyone in the program to make you feel at home and get acquainted.

During the AID, you will get to know the University, your fellow students, all the students organizations, the city and all that Wageningen has to offer. You’ll be guided by two current students that will make you feel at home in Wageningen and answer your questions. For more information and registration go to the AID website.
