VSV board
It is possible that you have an issue, but you don't know who to go to, or you want to talk to a student first. In that case it is always possible to send an e-mail to the VSV board to vsv@tudelft.nl or message one of the VSV board members privately or walk up to them. We will try to help you the best we can, but it is important to know that we are not in any way qualified to give any form of help. In most cases we would advise you to take up contact with the academic counsellors, as they are best able to help you as a student. But the option to contact us is still always there, just in case.
