Frequently Asked Questions about Admission
Apply
How can I apply?
Application starts via the Studielink website: www.studielink.nl. Check the programme's website for an explanation of the application procedure. Your application is not complete until you have completed all the steps:
Step 1: Add new enrolment via Studielink
Step 2: Apply for admission on your personal admission page
Step 3: Complete your assignments
I have registered in Studielink, will I be invited for an audition/admission?
No, after you have registered in Studielink you will receive an e-mail from Fontys after two working days with a link to your personal admission page. It may differ per programme which assignments you have to submit prior to an audition/admission. If you have not received confirmation of your application, you have not been registered for the audition/admission!
I did not receive an e-mail from Fontys after my registration in Studielink. How is this possible?
Check whether the e-mail ended up in your spam and whether you entered your e-mail address correctly in Studielink.
Can I apply for more than one course?
Yes you can, but you need to create several personal files for this. You can use the same e-mail address for this, but you must create a different password for each file.
Please note: For Dance Arts in Context, it is not possible to apply for both profiles (Contemporary and Contemporary Urban).
For Music Theatre, Musical Theatre and the Music and Musical Theatre Prelimanary course, it is not necessary to apply for more profiles; a profile selection will be made during the audition rounds.
What should I fill in under educational history if my course is not among the options to choose from?
Choose the option ‘Other’ and fill in the relevant course.
I entered something incorrectly on my registration. Can I still change it?
Yes you can, please send an e-mail with your full name and the details to be changed to faa-admission@fontys.nl.
Log in
I got an error message saying that I already have an ongoing application for this course in this academic year. What should I do?
You probably interrupted your application or it was interrupted due to a technical error. You will receive a reminder the next day around 20.00 hrs with a link to complete your application. If you want to receive this link earlier so that you can continue right away, please e-mail faa-admission@fontys.nl during office hours.
I get the message that my details are already known, how is that possible?
You have already registered with Fontys in a previous year. You can simply continue your registration by logging in or requesting account recovery, just make sure your details are still correct.
I cannot log in to my personal admission page, how is that possible?
Do not try to log in with your Fontys e-mail address, but always log in with your own personal e-mail address. The first time you use your date of birth as your password, then create your own password that you can use to log in the following times.
I get an error message after logging in with my own mail address and date of birth, how is that possible?
You may have made a typing error in your e-mail address or date of birth. Please check your details in the confirmation you received or e-mail faa-admission@fontys.nl so we can check your details.
My self-created password is not accepted, what should I do?
Your password must meet a number of requirements: It has to be 8 characters or longer, and it must contain 1 (or more) capital letter, and it must contain a Special character : ! @ # $ % ^& * -
Assignments
Where can I upload my material?
This can be done on your personal admission page. You will have received the link to this page by e-mail. Be careful not to exceed the maximum number of MBs.
Can I send my audition materials by mail?
Material that we receive by mail will not appear on your personal admissions page and will therefore not be assessed. It is therefore very important that you upload everything on your personal admission page.
I forgot to upload something, but have already completed the assignment, can I still upload something?
If the deadline has not yet passed, you can send us the request (by email to faa-admission@fontys.nl) to reopen the assignment for you.
When should I upload my language certificate?
The deadline is 15 July. If you need a residence permit, the deadline is even earlier, namely 1 May. PLEASE NOTE: If you need a language test, start well in advance because it may take some time before you can be admitted and have the results back. There are also fewer tests during the summer months. This leaves time for a possible resit.
When do I need to upload my diploma and/or marks list?
If you have obtained a diploma in the Netherlands (or will obtain one before 1 September), the diploma will automatically be verified by Studielink. You don't have to upload anything. If you have a Flemish/non-Dutch diploma, upload your diploma and marks list on your personal admission page as soon as possible. This way your registration can be completed as soon as possible. If you do not yet have your diploma/list of marks, upload them as soon as they are in your possession. The deadline for this is 15 July. For students who need a residence permit (non-EU), the deadline is 1 May. If you're not able to upload your diploma/list of grades before this date, please let us know via faa-admission@fontys.nl.
I can’t put all my information when completing the open-ended questions. How can I solve this?
We can’t change the word count limit in the system. Start with the most recent experience and work backwards that way. Keep the information as concise as possible.
Audition
I did not receive an invitation, what should I do now?
This means that you have not completed your application properly, because, for example, you have not submitted your profile picture and/or have not completed the questionnaire in full. Check your personal admission page to see if there are any outstanding assignments.
What happens to my data and assignments after admissions?
All your data and submitted materials will be removed from our system at the start of the new academic year.
What exactly do I need to do for the audition/admission day?
Read the attachment to your invitation email carefully, it contains all the information you need.
When will I receive the results?
That depends on the programme. You can find this information on the website of the relevant programme.
What should I do if I was already admitted last year?
Most programmes require you to re-apply for admission, with the exception of the fine arts and design and music teacher programmes. You can indicate this in the questionnaire. If other arrangements have been made with you, please contact us via faa-admission@fontys.nl.
I received an invitation, but I decided not to participate in the audition/admission. Should I cancel?
Yes, always cancel in time. Many programmes only have a limited number of places per audition. By cancelling, you give another candidate the chance to audition. Moreover, we will be expecting you at the indicated time.
I am ill or unexpectedly unable to attend due to another reason, is there a possibility of auditioning on another date?
This varies per programme. Always let us know if you can’t come and ask about the possibilities. It may be that there really is no other possibility to audition.
