Erasmus Study Centre

All RU students have access to the ESC. You can log in with email address (name.surname@ru.nl) and your personal password. The ESC is also available for group work. Be sure to use a quiet and respectful tone when working with others. Groups have priority in the workstations for group work. We expect you to leave your workstation clean and tidy when you are finished.

You can use the following areas in the ESC:

• The large room (1.63), no reservation needed
• The quiet study area (TP4), report at the desk
• The mezzanine (First floor of low-rise, E. 103b), only access with reservation until 6.30 pm.

There are 75 places available in the ESC:

• 24 study workplaces (without computer)
• 84 study workplaces (with computer)
• 2 MIVA computer workplaces

On the mezzanine there are 38 computer workplaces and 3 study workplaces available. The mezzanine has the same opening hours as the Erasmus building. These workplaces are only available with a reservation.

You can book workplaces with or without a computer on multiple locations on campus besides the mezzanine. There are a number of rules to make sure the reservation of these workplaces are divided fairly:

Code of conduct:

Those who do not follow the rules can be excluded from reservation.

• Only students of the Radboud University can book a workplace.
• Only make a reservation for yourself.
• Take your student card and the confirmation of your reservation (printed or on your phone) with you.
• Do not book more time than you need. You can also book less than a daypart.
• You can book up to two days in advance.

The ESC has five multifunctional network printers which can be used to print, scan and copy documents. You can send a print job from all workstations. The printer is set to double-sided printing in B/W by default. You can choose single-sided printing and colour printing from your workstation. You can pay for all print and copy work using Kuario. Scanning with Kuario is free. You can scan your documents and send them to your e-mail address.

Wireless printing is also possible from a mobile device or laptop. Click here for more information about printing from a mobile device. (It is only possible to use wireless printing when you are at the campus or connected with the wifi-network Eduroam).

It is possible to have a CD burned at the desk, for example for your thesis. The price is € 0.50 including CD.
