Creating an account on the SENSE website involves the following steps:

1) You register yourself at the website (by going to: www.sense.nl/start).

2) You will receive an automated reply e-mail, in which you will find a weblink. Follow this link to validate your registration.

3) Your account will be approved by the SENSE webmaster. After approval you will have full access to all applicable website parts.

Once you have validated your registration, you have access to your account, and you can already carry out a number of actions, such as editing your account and registering for courses. However, your account has not yet been approved by the webmaster. This approval of the webmaster is necessary for your account to be recognized as a PhD student account (or, in other cases, a researcher account, an alumnus account, or an external contact account). Only when you are a SENSE PhD student, the ITSP options will become visible for you. Since these ITSP options are linked to PhD students accounts, they will become visible only after the webmaster has approved your account.

The SENSE staff always tries to approve a new account as quickly as possible, but still it might take a day or two before your registration is processed. If you still can't access your ITSP one week after your registration, then please contact SENSE, by logging a ticket in our support system (www.sense.nl/helpdesk).
