Stuvo+ guide

Every student faces challenges from time to time. Sometimes it’s something minor that throws you off balance for a while; other times it’s a more serious situation that affects your studies, wellbeing or daily life. Whatever it is, you don’t have to deal with it on your own.

Your first point of contact within the university is often your student coach. This person is attached to your degree programme and can lend a listening ear, help you think through your situation and guide you through the support available. You can also find other coaches and contact persons for your degree programme via ‘My coaches’ on the intranet.

Via ‘My coaches’, you can also find the student services team for your degree programme. The student services team plays an important role in addressing questions or situations that may have an impact on your studies or wellbeing. During an initial consultation, they will work with you to identify exactly what your question or need is and what support best suits you.

Among other things, the student services team can assist you with applying for special status with any associated facilities if your personal situation, disability, health, combining studies with work or elite sport, or other circumstances make this necessary. Together, you will explore the options available and determine which arrangements or adjustments can help make your studies achievable. Even if you are primarily in need of a confidential conversation, the Student Services team can listen to you and work with you to determine what further support is appropriate.

One of the ways you can get help is through Stuvo+’s psychological counselling. You can turn to them for sessions to discuss personal, social or emotional difficulties. You can be referred via the student services department, but it is also possible to book an initial consultation directly via the appointment booker. As the number of free sessions is limited, it is important to use this support wisely.

Studying doesn’t work the same way for everyone. If you need extra support due to a disability, the support team can work with you to see what might help. This could involve individual support or advice on, for example, reasonable adjustments, assistive technology or studying with a disability. You don’t have to figure out where to go yourself: the student services department is your first point of contact and will work with you to determine what support is appropriate.

Do you have any questions or would you like to make an appointment? If so, you can book an appointment via our appointment planner or contact us on 011 18 01 80; please call during opening hours.

For many students, moving into student accommodation is an important part of student life. It offers greater independence, a shorter commute to campus and the chance to be fully involved in student life. Depending on your course and campus, you can choose to rent student accommodation in Diepenbeek, Genk or Hasselt.

When searching for accommodation, we recommend choosing a room from the selection offered by Kot@Limburg. This database contains rooms that meet the quality standards set by UCLL. Furthermore, the tenancy agreements used have been checked and approved, offering you extra security and peace of mind when renting a student room.

A healthy lifestyle not only contributes to your physical health, but also helps you maintain your mental balance whilst studying. What’s more, sport is an ideal way to meet other students and make new friends.

That’s why Studentensport Limburg offers a wide range of sports activities for all UCLL students. With a sports pass, you can take part in the regular evening programme and practise various sports each week, such as swimming, climbing or ice skating. You can easily purchase your sports pass via the Studentensport Limburg app. The many sporting events organised throughout the academic year are also definitely worth attending.

In addition, as a UCLL student, you can join the rowing team and enjoy discounted rates at Basic-Fit. So there are plenty of opportunities to get active in a way that suits you.

Studying is about more than just attending lectures. That’s why Stuvo+ organises fun cultural activities every academic year where you can enjoy yourself, relax and get to know new people alongside other students.

For example, every year we head to a cosy Christmas market in Germany, organise a film night at Kinepolis, and have plenty of other exciting activities on the programme throughout the year.

Your voice makes a difference. At UCLL, we believe it is important for students to be able to actively contribute ideas and help shape the university. Through student participation, you’ll have the chance to put forward ideas, give feedback and help shape policy.

In addition, our student societies also play an important role in student life. They organise numerous activities, bring students together and ensure a vibrant campus. In Limburg, you can join Kerberus, Netsilana, MAG, Didasco and Agogica. There are both programme-specific and open associations, so there’s a place for everyone.

Do you want to help shape UCLL? Whether you want to sit on a student council, help shape policy or get involved in a student association: everyone is welcome to participate.

Do you have any questions or would you like to find out more? Please feel free to contact the Limburg Participation Coach via participatiecoach.limburg@ucll.be. We’d be happy to help!

Are you not quite sure whether you’ve chosen the right course? Or are you wondering which course would suit you better? You’re certainly not the only one! Onderwijskiezer helps you to explore your interests, talents and possibilities further. You’ll find information about courses there and can complete various online questionnaires and course-choice tests to help you get started.

Do you still have questions afterwards, or would you like to talk to someone about your choice? The student services team is your first point of contact. Together, you can look at what options are available and decide which next step makes the most sense for you.
