Ending your studies

To get your notebook, you have signed an acknowledgement of debt to the
TU/e. When you graduate or when you have completed 3 consecutive
years of studying at the TU/e, this debt is waived. If you end your
studies earlier without graduating, you have two choices regarding your
notebook:

1. You can hand in the notebook and must unsubscribe at the student administration (STU MF 1.214). Your debt will be waived, and you will
receive the remaining value of your notebook.

2. Pay off the remaining debt. The notebook will remain yours. In this
case, take notice of the following:

- If you have a loan with the Rabobank for the amount you had to pay
  right away for the notebook, you will have to pay this off at once as
  well.
- If you keep your notebook, you do have to report to the NSC with it,
  so that the TU/e can remove all software that you were allowed to use
  as a TU/e student, but no longer when you're not a student anymore. Be aware that you loose both C: and D:

How much money do I have to pay?

The more years you've been studying, the smaller your remaining debt will
be. For the exact amount you have to pay, contact the Student Service
Center (STU).

I'm quitting my studies, and want to hand in my notebook.

What you need to do:

First of all, make sure your notebook is complete. You have to hand in
all the accessoires you got with the notebook (in working order). Your
notebook will not be accepted if it is incomplete. Check here what
accessoires have been handed out with which notebooks:

Make sure you have the following papers with you:

- Your passport or other official proof of identity (with photo) or
- Your student card

If any of your accessoires are missing or broken, you can pay for it at the counter. If the notebook itself is defective, please hand it in for repairs on time. The notebook
you hand in will only be accepted after any defects have been repaired.

Financial procedure Notebook

1. If you have a loan, the financial procedure is based on article 5.3
   in the Participation Agreement. The TU/e will make sure the loan with
   the Rabobank is canceled, so you do not have to contact the Rabobank
   yourself. The amount you have to pay back will be added to the amount
   you have to pay or deducted from the amount you will get back
   according to article 5.3. You will be sent a payment slip if you need
   to pay anything; if you get anything back, it will be deposited into
   your bank account.

2. If you have paid the sum at once, the financial procedure is based on
   article 5.2 of the participation Agreement. Based on this, the amount
   you get back from the TU/e will be determined. This amount will be
   deposited into your bank account.
