Studystore will cease to exist. The company has suffered technical problems this academic year and has not been able to resolve them. Did you order your books at Studystore? Then your textbooks may be delivered later or they may not be delivered at all and you’ll get a refund. You can no longer place new orders. Do you have any questions about this? Contact Studystore customer service.
Starting your studies
Time to stock up on books and buy a laptop. And do you already have a HAN account? Plenty to do this summer. Check here what you need to take care of to properly kick off your 1st academic year.
Do you need extra space or guidance to develop your talents? For example, because you’re studying with a disability. Or because you want to combine your elite sport or business with your studies. No problem! Let us know what's going on, then, if you like, we can work together to see what you need and what is possible in your degree program. Do this before you begin your studies so you can get off to a good start.
Good to know:
- Don't worry, registering your special circumstance won’t affect your admission.
- Your registration will go to the student counselor and the student advisor of your degree program. That information is not readily shared with lecturers or classmates. Whether you want that will soon be up to you.
- You can indicate on the form whether or not you would like to meet with your student advisor. So you can also choose to only register your special circumstances, but not do anything else about it for a while. Then, if you do need help at a later time, it's just a little easier to raise the alarm.

Your program may have slightly different dates. So also check out the page of your own program on Insite. Insite is HAN’s online environment. You can log in to it using your HAN account.

You’ll hear about that from the staff of your program. That will most likely be after 15 August. That’s when most programs group the students into classes.
Paying tuition fees
It’s best to pay your tuition fees before 1 August. You can pay up to 31 August. Only then you will not be enrolled as a student until 31 August, as payment of tuition fees is part of the enrollment conditions.
Please note: Until we receive your digital payment authorization (or your tuition payment, if you plan to transfer this yourself), you may receive emails from us reminding you to pay your tuition fees.
You can enter your payment details in your Studielink account before the start of the academic year and submit the digital payment authorization form. You then can authorize HAN to deduct the entire tuition amount at once or you can choose to pay in 10 monthly installments. Enrolled for the February intake? You can pay your tuition fees in 5 monthly installments.
A one-off administration fee is charged each academic year if you choose to pay in installments. This is included in the 1st installment and amounts to € 24.00.
There are 2 options:
- You or someone else makes a lump sum payment to:
ING BANK N.V.
Bijlmerdreef 109
1102 BW AMSTERDAM
IBAN: NL58 INGB 0683 8285 09
BIC: INGBNL2AXXX
Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen
Postbus 5375
6802 EJ Arnhem
Don't forget to include your name and student number.
- Someone else with a bank account from an EU country in the euro area issues the authorization for you, until you have a Dutch bank account yourself. Indicate in Studielink that someone else will pay your tuition fees. The other person must then confirm the digital (direct debit) authorization. You don't have to do that yourself.
This is how you get the digital authorization confirmed:
- You received an email with a payment link. Forward that email with the payment link to the person issuing the authorization for you, so they can sign it.
- The person clicks on the link in the email and confirms the payment details.
- You’ll receive an email once the other person has confirmed the authorization.
- Studielink sends the authorization to HAN.
As soon as you have a Dutch bank account, send an email to CICdesk@han.nl. State your name and student number and ask for a Change of Payment Details form. Complete and sign the form, save it as a pdf file, then send it back to CICdesk@han.nl. They will update the authorization to your account number. As of the next direct debit, the tuition fees will be deducted from your bank account.

As a student you have the right to quit your studies at any time without giving a reason. Just submit a request for termination of enrollment on Studielink.
Enrollment can only be terminated as of the 1st of the following month (or a later month which you can indicate in Studielink). You can’t retroactively terminate your enrollment. Once you terminate your enrollment, you’re entitled to a refund. The amount is 1/12th of the total tuition fees for each remaining month. There is an exception though. Are you terminating your enrollment as of July or August? Then you are not entitled to any refund of paid tuition fees.
No, you can only pay in installments after submitting a digital payment authorization form in Studielink. If you do not or cannot submit a digital payment authorization form in Studielink and choose instead to transfer the payment directly to HAN, the entire tuition fee amount must be paid in a single transaction.
Submit your digital payment authorization on Studielink at least 10 days before your degree program starts. Then you can be sure you have access to all HAN facilities when you start your program.
You can use the mobile version of Studielink to enter your payment details. But you can only confirm the digital payment authorization with the desktop version. Problems entering or confirming your payment details? Use the regular desktop version.
