Check in Oasis whether the prospect (future student) has an active welcome-account. You can see this under account-informatie, see screenshot

If the prospect has an active welcome-account, then open a ticket for e-stufi support (M365).
If the prospect doesn't have a welcome-account or the welcome-account is inactive, then it is better to directly contact the Oasis helpdesk helpdesk.oasis@UGent.be

In both cases, please provide all relevant information: prospectnr, e-mail they are trying to login with, error message(s) and/or description of the problem.

If you are working on a Ghent University device, you can select Ghent University templates via the locally installed version of PowerPoint on this device. Start PowerPoint on your device > New > the Ghent University tab.

If you do not see this UGent tab, it is likely that your device is not managed by UGent or that it has not been installed with the standard UGent configuration via Intune or ECM.
