If you have questions about the code of conduct, please contact the office.

The student social associations that organize an introduction with a hazing character, are in contact with the HO student association committee.

The associations also have a code of conduct for this, which they sign together with EUR, Hogeschool Rotterdam and Hogeschool InHolland.

We would also like to point out a number of practical matters that apply to all EUR students.
