Reporting illnesss and absence due to force majeure

You may not be able to attend an exam, lecture or working group due to illness or other forms of force majeure. It is also possible that you cannot, for example, hand in a paper on time.

  • In case you miss a compulsory component due to force majeure, you must report this to the course coordinator.
  • If you miss a test due to force majeure, you must report this to the Student Desk and to the course coordinator.
  • If you are absent for a longer period of time, you should also report this to your Study Advisor.

Effects

If you have missed mandatory components, you may no longer meet the attendance or effort obligation (see also article 4.4 of the EER).
if you have not been able to take or complete a test due to illness, and you have reported it to the Student Desk as soon as possible, you have the right to take a replacement test (see also article 5.5 of the EER).
If you are unable to study for a longer period of time, it may sometimes be advisable to stop your studies temporarily. Consult your Study Advisor to disuss your options.
