DAE Kick-Off 2024-25

Dear students,

 

The start of the academic year is almost upon us! 

 

In order to allow students to smoothly transition to our program we’ve scheduled an orientation week from 16th – 20th September 2024 (schedule below). During this time students will be provided with all the relevant info they need, to answer questions like: 

 

How do I access my school account? 

Where can I see my class schedule? 

Where can I download the required software? 

Is the sound design teacher as good-looking as the legends say?

Etc.

 

Major abbreviation:

• GGP = Game Graphics Production

• IGP = Independent Game Production

• GD = Game Development

• GSI = Game Sound Integration

• 3D = 3D Animation

• VFX = Visual Effects

 

Students are added to our student platform LEHO and will automatically be enroled into the Kick-off course to find all extra information.

 

 

Make sure to mark your calendars for the upcoming Kick-off Week! You are required to attend on the following dates:

Setup your student account: Activate Howest Account 

 

In order to be able to access some of the program-specific online info you need to first setup your student account and login to LEHO. If you fail to do this step, you cannot proceed. If you run into troubles during this step (e.g. login not working), please contact helpdesk@howest.be asap.

 

In the Frequently Asked Questions, you can find instructions as to how to connect to the wifi on campus, access the student platform, class schedule, etc. Language settings can be changed in the top right corner. 

 

After you’ve successfully logged into our learning platform LEHO, you can access the vital program-specific content via the “DAE KICK OFF 24-25” module on your dashboard, next click “modules” and browse through the KICK-OFF content. More information will be posted as the Kick-Off approaches.

 

Please note: some of the content is marked “mandatory”, choosing not to view this info (e.g. the EER) will most definitely come back and haunt you.

 

 

Your student card will be provided during this kick-off week or can be picked up at the front desk after.
