Checklist Radboud Intro

Steps

1. Sign up for the Radboud Intro

   Are you starting your studies in September 2025? Then you will receive an invitation by email at the end of June to register for the Radboud Intro from 24 to 29 August 2025!

   Registration will remain open, so you can even sign up during the introduction week, but we do not recommend this. The easiest thing to do is to register as soon as possible so that you don't miss any information or activities.

2. Unable to join the entire week? Feel free to join later!

   It is possible to join later during the week. You still have to register through the invitation for the Intro that you received and you still pay the full amount. Contact your mentor beforehand and let them know when you will join. A few days before the Intro, you'll learn who your mentors are and how you can reach them. You can pick up your hoodie and wristband by the Intro desk.

3. Download the Radboud Events App

   After you have registered for the Radboud Intro you will receive the login details for the Radboud Events App. Here you will find your proof of registration, the programme of the week and all the information about the Radboud Intro.

4. Get a bike

   Almost all activities are organised in Nijmegen. From the central station, you can easily reach all locations by bike. You can rent a public transport bike or bring your own bike from home. You can also rent a bike from Student Mobility, a partner of Radboud University. You will receive more information in the confirmation email you will receive after registering for the introduction programme.

5. Ensure a place to sleep

   Do you not have student acaommodation in Nijmegen yet? Make sure you have a place to sleep during the Radboud Intro. Radboud University doesn’t offer accommodations. You could try through friends, student organizations, student housing or your mentors.

6. Make sure you’re well rested

   The introduction programme is packed with activities, with something going on every day! You will definitely take part in one full day of festivities and one half day of sports. There will also be a celebration on 24 August and an Intro Market. Your study programme will organise additional activities as well. These could include a games afternoon, a barbecue or a campus tour. So make sure you arrive in Nijmegen well rested so that you can enjoy all the activities to the fullest. Once you have registered for the Radboud Intro, you can see your personal programme in the Radboud Events App.

7. Do tell us about your diet/disability/etc.

   In the registration form, you can indicate if you have any allergies, dietary preferences, or a medical condition that needs to be considered. This information will be shared with your mentors, and they will take it into account as well as possible.

8. Make sure to take enough (cash) money

   The costs of the Radboud Intro consist of a basic programme and an educational programme. For 58 euros, the basic programme includes a Radboud hoodie, participation in the sports day, intro market, closing celebration, and the intro festival. The educational programme varies per study programme. Therefore, the costs of the intro differ per study programme. Some programmes have already included the costs in the educational contribution (such as dinners and entrance fees for activities). In that case, you will have little to pay yourself during the intro. Other programmes have chosen to keep the educational contribution low, which means you will have to pay more yourself during the introduction week (such as for dinners and entrance fees for activities).
