A smooth start

As a student at Odisee, you make use of various digital tools on a daily basis. You can easily access your personal dashboard on the student platform, the digital learning environment (Toledo), your personal timetable, your Odisee mailbox, Microsoft 365 and so much more... 

There are also tools you will use less frequently such as the applications for the registration of your individual study programme (ISP), for ordering your study materials ...

To guide you in the use of these various digital tools, we have created the online course'Getting started as a student with education technology at Odisee'. So you are completely digitally up to speed.

As an Odisee student, you will receive an account. You will receive an e-mail in your personal mailbox after processing your online registration.

You have to activate it first before you can use it. After the activation of your account you will automatically be directed to the instructions to set up your multifactor authentication (MFA) for your account.

Having problems or didn't get the email? Please check the FAQ page.

Activate your account

Every student at Odisee automatically receives inclusive facilities. For example, everyone gets extra time in written exams and all course materials are available digitally. In this way, we ensure that the chances of study success are as high as possible for everyone.

Inclusive facilities

Do you need additional support beyond inclusive facilities? Check if you are eligible for a status that allows you to benefit from extra accommodations. 

Apply for your status early, make sure to do so before the start of the academic year. Starting in February? Then make sure to apply before the start of the second semester. This will allow you to quickly benefit from your additional accommodations and get a smooth start at Odisee.
