Frequently Asked Questions about how to complete your enrolment
How can I complete my enrolment?
Please check your messages in your Studielink dashboard regularly. You will be enrolled once you meet all the conditions. Take into account that the processing time is 3-10 working days. A diploma evaluation can often take up to 2-3 weeks (or even longer in summer).
