Binding study advice

At the end of the first semester (no later than 31 January), you will receive an interim study recommendation from the university. If you have not obtained enough credits, you will receive a warning. At the end of the academic year (no later than 31 August), a final recommendation will be given.

If you have not obtained enough credits, you get a negative binding study advice. This means that you will not be allowed to finish your degree or re-enrol for the same course.

De-enrolment before 1 February

If you request course de-enrolment before 1 February of your first study year, you will receive no negative binding study advice. It is the date of making your request that counts, not the de-enrolment date. So if you submit your request on 31 January, you will be de-enrolled as of 1 February and will not receive a negative binding study advice.
