DigiD required for Studielink login

Published 4 February 2010

With effect from 8 February, Studielink will use DigiD for logging in. All students eligible* for a DigiD must use DigiD to log in from that date. Log in to Studielink as soon as possible after 8 February to update your account.

On the Studielink homepage, select 'Convert Studielink account to DigiD (once only)'. As soon as you log in to Studielink, you will be given an opportunity to convert your account to DigiD (see example screen). You will then log in using DigiD and your existing Studielink account will be linked to your DigiD. Make sure you do this before 15 May to prevent any problems with enrolment or re-enrolment.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have not converted to DigiD by the end of August, we cannot guarantee that the Studielink student helpdesk will be able to provide prompt assistance if you forget your username or password. You will then risk missing the deadline for enrolment or re-enrolment.

You probably already use DigiD for My IB-Groep, in which case you can now use it for Studielink too.

Be smart! Do you still have no DigiD? Apply now for your DigiD at www.digid.nl. Make sure that you have your Citizen Service Number (BSN) at hand.

Do you already have a DigiD username and password? If so, you can use these to log in to Studielink.nl.

*Only if you are not eligible for a DigiD, because you are not an official Netherlands resident, will you be able to continue to use your old Studielink username and password.
