• First register via Studielink. Usually you will receive your Fontys account within 1 working day.
• Still nothing? Contact the student administration of your programme.

Often this is because of a payment arrears. After a first warning your account may be blocked temporarily after 14 days. After payment it will be reopened within a few working days (learn more via the Payment Arrears page).

If there is no payment arrears, it might be a technical problem. Call the IT Servicedesk: 08850 77777.

For security reasons we handle this by phone. Call the Customer Contact Centre: 08850 80000. We will ask you a few verification questions and help you immediately.

Request it from the student administration of your programme. In your email mention: which document you need, for which purpose (e.g. employer or SVB), and your name, date of birth, programme and student number.

If your employer pays, you confirm the digital authorisation yourself in Studielink. For reimbursement your programme can issue proof of payment. Fontys does not issue invoices to employers. If the proof of payment is not sufficient, contact your programme. This also applies to proof of enrolment.

If it is a research assignment, contact the lectorate that matches your theme.
