Maintenance & failures
Our maintenance activities and failures of systems are announced on www.utwente.nl/en/status. This page is only available on the UT network. You should be on the UT or create a VPN connection to access this page.
Internet access
To arrange your internet connection, you need a student number and password to log in to computers in the UT library or in your faculty building or to set up a wireless internet connection on your laptop. UT uses the worldwide eduroam network for wireless internet. Eduroam covers the education buildings, on-campus housing accommodation and most other areas on campus. For information on how to connect to the eduroam network, see the eduroam information page. When visiting user universities you will automatically be connected to their eduroam network, too.

On campus bachelor's, master's and exchange students will receive their student number and password during the Kick-in Introduction Days. If you did not attend the introduction days, you can request your student number and password at the ICTS Service Desk. PhD students will receive their student number and password upon arrival through their faculty contact person. Students of the Faculty of ITC will be guided in arranging internet access by ITC Student Affairs upon arrival during registration.
