Questions about the Slim Academy app

First, check whether you’re using the new or old Slim Academy app. Support for the old app ended on March 15. You can now view all your booklets in the app’s library. Still not visible? Please contact customer service at klantenservice@slimacademy.nl.

Download the app on your phone, or if you prefer to use another device such as your iPad/tablet or laptop, log in via the browser.

The (download) links to our app are:
Google Play Store
Apple App

Log in via your browser at https://app.slimacademy.nl.

You can easily log in to our new digital learning environment. Your account (username and password) is the same as on our website www.SlimAcademy.nl.

You can download the app on your phone. If you want to use a different device, such as a tablet/iPad or laptop? log in via the browser.

Almost! We are currently working hard to optimize the app for tablets. You can already use it. Additionally, we have a browser version, which is available on any device.

For Apple, we are still working on getting it live, but it should be available within the next few weeks.

With the Slim Academy app, you can study offline, search, highlight, make notes, complete practice questions, and provide feedback to our authors. This makes digital studying even easier for you!

Currently, studying with the booklets offline is not possible. However, we are working on integrating this feature into the app, so it will be available in the future.

Subscriptions

You can cancel your subscription by sending an email to our customer service: klantenservice@slimacademy.nl. Keep in mind a month’s notice period. So make sure you have sent an email before the first day of the month!

In the college year of purchase, our subscriptions have a fixed term until the end of that college year. This means that in the first college year of your subscription, you cannot cancel it. After the end of this academic year, your subscription can be cancelled on a monthly basis and you can therefore decide which month you want to cancel this subscription.

Of course, when determining the price of a subscription, we have taken into account the fact that you receive fewer or no products in the summer, so that you never pay too much with a subscription and are always cheaper than buying separate summaries.

When taking out your subscription for college year, you could choose between paying per month or paying per year. In both cases, however, you took out a subscription for the college year that runs until 31 August. This means the monthly collection will continue through August.

The delivery time depends on the release dates of the products you have ordered. All booklets will be sent to you as soon as they are available. The specific shipping dates can also be found in your order confirmation.

Did you order multiple products with different release dates? We will send these on the dates they become available. This means you can receive multiple packages from Slim Academy, but you won’t have to pay extra shipping costs. After it’s been sent, the booklets will be delivered to you the next day, depending on the delivery of PostNL. 

The delivery of PostNL takes place as follows:

95% of summaries ordered before 19:00 are delivered the next business day. 5% of summaries ordered before 19:00 are delivered after two working days.

Please note that PostNL only delivers on Monday to Saturday.

To bridge the waiting time for these new booklets, all booklets from the previous year are already made available for subscribers in the app and web environment.

As long as you are a subscriber, all the booklets you have previously purchased are available in digital form in the app and web environment. If you are no longer a subscriber, the digital summaries are only available until the end of the academic year. After that, the license expires. This can also be found in the sales conditions. Without a subscription, you can no longer view the summaries from last year.

You can let us know via your Slim Academy account when you want to receive which booklets. If you go to order history you can indicate a shipping date.

The summaries will be available online on the day of the publication date. The summaries are also sent by post on the publication date. You can always look up the publication date by looking up the relevant summary in the webshop. Video: When will my summary be published?

The subscription has several advantages over the total package:

– The price of a subscription is lower than the total cost of all total packages combined.

– With a subscription, you only pay the order costs once. With individual orders, like the total package, you have to pay this fee each time (€3.49 per order).

– With a subscription, you gain and maintain access to the digital summaries from the previous year. This way, you can start studying right at the beginning of the block. This is not the case with the total package.

– With a subscription, you gain and maintain access to the digital summaries you have previously purchased.”

If I purchase a subscription now, will I also receive the booklets that have already been released?
Adjustment: “When you purchase a subscription, you always receive all the printed summaries for the subjects whose exams have not yet taken place. Additionally, you gain and maintain access to the digital summaries from the previous year.”

When subscribing to our service you will receive all summaries that have been published, for which the exams have not yet taken place. If you need summaries from earlier in the academic year, (for example if you have to do a re-sit), please email our customer service and we will help you with your question.

This is because we always base the price of a subscription on the amount of booklets included in the subscription. A subscription with 50 booklets, will therefore cost more than a subscription that has only 30 booklets published.

You can. When cancelling a rotating subscription, Slim Academy looks at how many booklets you have received. If you have received a bigger percentage of the booklets than the number of months you have paid for, you cannot cancel immediately.

For example: You can get a maximum of 12 booklets in your subcription, received only 9 booklets and you want to cancel in November. You have then had 75% of the booklets and paid only 25% of the year. You can then cancel in May (75% of the year).

An order cannot be adjusted afterwards. Best thing to do is cancel your order by emailing klantenservice@slimacademy.nl and buy the right summary/subscription. 

With a Lifetime Subscription you are always up-to-date with all relevant material within your field after graduation. You have digital access to all new summaries for all courses of your study. The summaries are uploaded after the exam in your digital Slim Academy environment. For only 48 euros a year you stay informed of all (academic) developments within your field!

Pay attention! Lifetime Subscriptions can only be purchased by former customers of Slim Academy, Slimstuderen.nl and Capita Selecta.

In the academic year of purchase, our subscriptions have a fixed term until the end of that academic year. This means that in the first academic year of your subscription, you cannot cancel it. After the end of this academic year, your subscription can be cancelled on a monthly basis and you can therefore decide which month you want to cancel this subscription.

Of course, when determining the price of a subscription, we have taken into account the fact that you receive fewer or no products in the summer, so that you never pay too much with a subscription. This will still be cheaper than buying separate summaries.

When getting your subscription for the academic year, you were able to choose between paying every month or for a full year. In both cases, however, you subscribed for the full year, which runs until until August 31st. This means the monthly collection will continue through August.

This depends on your situation. When we offer summaries for your upcoming academic year, we automatically convert your subscription into a subscription for the new academic year. If you had a bachelor 2 subscription this year, for example, you will automatically receive the summaries for bachelor 3 next year.

If you are in bachelor 3 (for example) and we do not offer summaries for the master, we will change your subscription into a lifetime subscription, which means that you will have access to all summaries of the study (after your study has ended), so that you can use it as a reference in your further career.

The price of your subscription may change. We will send you an informative email about this in August. In the unlikely event that you decide to cancel your subscription, you can simply let us know by email before 1 September.

If we have not received a cancellation from you, your subscription has continued automatically. You can cancel your subscription by sending an email to klantenservice@slimacademy.nl. We will then stop your subscription at the end of the month.

Unfortunately it is not technically possible for us to convert the subscription. You can purchase a new subscription yourself via the website. As soon as you have done this, you can send an email to klantenservice@slimacademy.nl stating your order number. We will then cancel the wrong subscription.

As long as the summaries have not yet been sent, this is possible. Please contact customer service as soon as possible. If you only have the summaries digitally, please also contact us.

All our subscriptions end at the end of the school year (august), after that it can be canceled monthly. If you happen to have chosen for a yearly payment, you can change this after the runtime of the current subcription.

Canceling or returning orders

You can cancel your purchase by returning the booklets to us in unused condition. The shipping costs are for your own account. We kindly ask you to write on the envelope ‘Cancel Slim Academy – order number.

Supplements

Supplements are additions to a summary. For example, if the last lecture has yet to be given, but the summary has already been made, the summary of this lecture will be added to your account as a supplement.

You can find the supplements by logging into your Slim Academy Account. You can then go to the ‘Supplements’ tab. There you can find all the supplements of your summaries. Alternatively, you can go to the relevant booklet via the webshop. You can also find a link to the supplements on the order page of the booklet.

Video: where can I find the supplements?

When the supplements will be available online, depends on which study you do. In general we try to publish the summaries as soon as possible after the lectures. The publishing date is determined by the lecture days. Of course, we also look at when it is most convenient for you to receive your booklet! This gets determined per term and we put this information on the supplement page in the summary.

The digital supplements are only available until the end of the academic year, after which the license has expired. As of September 1, all old summaries have been removed from the digital box. You can also find this information in the sales conditions. If you have a re-sit, you can let us know via klantenservice@slimacademy.nl and we can check whether the summary is still available for you.
