UCU course pre-enrolment in Osiris

After each allocation round, a list of available places in all courses is uploaded here.

Remaining places spring enrollment - round 2 (version 24-1-2023)

If you do not meet the formal prerequisites for a course you wish to take next semester, you must apply for “Course Admittance” (in Osiris Student under Cases -> Curriculum Matters). Course admittance needs to be obtained by the course admittance deadline as indicated in the academic calendar. You can request course admittance as soon as you have received a guaranteed spot in the course. 

The Osiris pre-enrolment module will warn you when selecting a course for which you do not meet the formal entrance requirements (NB If you are currently taking a course that will make you meet these entrance requirements, you do not need to request course admittance).

For several of UCU's language courses, you need to participate in the language testing day to determine at which level you can take the language course. If you participate in the language test, you no longer need to request course admittance for the course level you are advised to take. You can sign up for the language testing day via Osiris Case/Zaak. Please see the information about the Language Testing Day

Enrolment for the regular Research thesis (15 EC) is done through course label UCTHS150 in the pre-enrolment module. The same for the new 7,5 EC Capstone thesis [UCTHS075]. During the thesis proposal procedure at the beginning of the semester the field of study should be indicated.

Keep in mind that when you are not going to complete your Research thesis during one semester (Fall-Spring thesis or Spring-Summer), you might need to register a “Non-standard UCU credit load” (see below) to be able to be enrolled for the thesis and three courses (15 + 22,5 = 37,5 EC).

For registration of an Honours thesis: the standard procedure applies.

Registration for internships, 2,5 EC course modules and Lab courses are at this moment not done through the Osiris pre-registration module.

Internships: contact the internship coordinator.

Lab courses: contact the lab course coordinator.

2,5 EC course modules: enrolment through the accompanying and preceding 5 EC course (UCACCMET23 or UCACCMET25).

If you are sure to take an off-campus course (note the formal procedure) you have to adjust your UCU credit load prior to pre-enrolling for courses (see non-standard UCU credit load item).

Your double degree requirements could give reason to adjust your UCU credit load for the semester, e.g. if you are taking fewer UCU courses because you are taking non-UCU courses for your double degree (see non-standard credit load item). Make sure to adjust your credit load prior to pre-enrolling for courses.

A standard credit load at UCU is 30 ECTS. If your course load at UCU for next semester will deviate from this standard credit load you must first register a “Non-standard UCU credit load” request in Osiris Student under Cases -> Curriculum Matters. This applies to all situations that impact your credit load at UCU:

• Credit surplus (no permission required - so no need to complete an additional curriculum request "course load reduction" for this)
• Approved course load reduction
• Approved 5th course
• Confirmed place in an off-campus course (check time slots!)

Note that this procedure only facilitates adjusting your UCU credit load for course pre-enrolment in Osiris. This means that you have to make sure that you have approval via the formal procedure on all relevant curriculum requests that affect your course load in general: approval for off-campus courses, course load reductions etc. Any course placement based on adjustments without official and timely approval on relevant curriculum requests (credit surplus excluded as indicated above), may be rolled back without consultation, as a consequence. 

If you need help, please contact UCU reception in the first instance. Additionally, please refer to the course pre-enrolment manual.
