Deregistering from a study programme

Are you considering to terminate your studies or are you about to graduate? Here you will find information about how to deregister, the conditions that apply and the financial consequences.

How do I deregister from my programme?

If you want to (temporarily) terminate your study programme or are about to graduate, submit a request for termination of enrolment via Studielink. You will then receive a confirmation of receipt of your request. 

Please note! In the case of graduation, you must first have actually graduated. Information about graduation can be found on the Graduation page of your programme.

What are the conditions for termination of enrolment?

You can deregister at any time. Please note that a request for termination of enrolment only takes effect on the first day of the following month. It is not possible to submit a request for termination of enrolment on a date in the past. If you no longer wish to be registered as of September, you do not need to submit a request for termination of enrolment via Studielink. Your registration will automatically expire on 1 September.

What are the financial consequences of deregistration?

After deregistration, you will only owe tuition fees for the months that you were registered. If you have paid more, you will automatically receive one twelfth of the total tuition fees for that academic year for each month that you deregister from, refunded to the account from which the tuition fees were collected. This does not apply if you wish to remain registered for one or more other programmes. Please note that no tuition fees will be refunded if you deregister as of 1 July or 1 August. Deregistration as of July or August is therefore not possible; this will only be processed if an explicit request is made.

After deregistration, you can still use student facilities that require a Solis-id for 90 days. You must cancel your student finance and public transport student travel product yourself with DUO.
