FAQ

How much will UHasselt contribute for cooking?

We refund the purchases for a maximum of 200 euro per country/group. These purchases should be of ingredients to make your dish and only if absolutely necessary, we allow the purchase of disposable serving dishes etc. It should be clear by their nature and quantity that they will be used only for the dish for the world evening. For example, we do not reimburse durable glass or metal kitchenware and quantities of any purchase that clearly will not only be used for the world evening.

Please keep all original tickets and receipts with the details of your purchases. We urge you to ask for official invoices/receipts. If this is absolutely not possible, the receipt must at least contain the purchase date, store details, ingredients, total price, and a stamp / header / signature of the store owner. Without these details, we cannot reimburse you!

After you submit the online form, you’ll receive the document ‘schuldvordering’: you can fill it in and send it back to the e-mail you received it from.

I have filled out the Google form for preparing food/as a volunteer. Should I register and pay for entrance fee?

No, you do not. If you already registered via the Google form and also paid an entrance fee per mistake, mail us for refund via international@uhasselt.be.

Only the students who have explicitly registered via one of the Google Forms (cooking, show or volunteers) will receive free entry! No names will be added on the evening itself.

Everyone who is not registered via one of the above-mentioned Google Forms, need to register beforehand or on the evening itself (which is slightly more expensive)!
