Financial provisions
If you experience study delays due to a disability or chronic illness, you may be eligible for various provisions from DUO. Financial compensation is also available from Utrecht University: Financial support in cases of circumstances beyond one’s control (FinSCO, formerly: graduation support).
The student counsellor can provide information about student finance and financial provisions in case of study delays. Schedule an appointment via Student Services.
