Repeater regulation
When are you considered to be a repeater?
If you enrolled for a course, did not terminate your enrolment within two weeks of the commencement of the course and did not pass the course, you will be considered a ‘repeater’ in the following year.
What is meant by the Repeater regulation?
Repeater courses are a less intensive form of education: there are fewer contact hours and it is assumed that the students will prepare for exams and other tests more independently. The exact setup of the repeater course can differ per course.
It is possible that some courses have specific effort requirements, which the students must meet if they want to be eligible for supplementary and replacement examinations (SR/RE). If the course has no defined effort requirements and the final non-rounded off grade is at least a 4, then the repeater is entitled to SR/RE.
For assessment methods and effort requirements for repeaters: please read the information in the Course Catalogue.

The validity of courses passed (in principle) is unlimited. Have you passed a test more than five years ago? Then the knowledge or skills may be out of date, in which case the Board of Examiners may impose an additional or alternative test for a course.
This implies only to final grades. The validity of partial grades (grades for a course that was not successfully completed) lapses after the academic year in which they were obtained.
If, despite the aforementioned arrangement, you are going to encounter problems concerning the validity of your final grades, please contact the Board of Examiners.
The complete text can be found in the Education and Examination Regulations (EER), art. 5.10.
