Study delay

Study delay can be caused by study-related problems such as ineffective study methods, stress or procrastination. The studytips or workshops (in Dutch) may be useful to you. 
You can also  schedule an appointment with a Student Psychologist or Student Counsellor (via Student services) for guidance and advice.

Your studies can be delayed due to circumstances beyond your control, such as illness, psychological problems, family circumstances or other situations.

If you are a full-time student and your studies have been delayed as a result of circumstances beyond your control, you may be able to receive financial compensation from Utrecht University. For further information about conditions and the procedure: please schedule an appointment with a Student Counsellor (via Student services).

In other situations your study delay can be foreseen:

• Pregnancy and studying as a parent
• Waiting time internships
• Board activities in a student organisation
• Disabilities or (chronic) illness
• Student athletes
