Osiris curriculum requests:
If you do not meet the prerequisites for a course you wish to take next semester, you must fill out and submit a Case request for Course admittance, EXCEPT when you are currently taking a course which will serve as a prerequisite on completion.
Note that course admittance needs to be obtained prior to the final deadline of the registration process.
Please go to OSIRIS Student, and log in. Go to the tab “Cases” and click on Start case -> Curriculum Matters. You can then scroll down and choose “UCU Course admittance”.
This procedure is used to request a course load reduction of one or more courses. The form to request a course load reduction is available in OSIRIS Zaak/Case: Please go to OSIRIS Student, and log in. Go to the tab “Cases” and click on Start case -> Curriculum Matters. You can then scroll down and choose “UCU course load reduction”. You will be informed about the outcome of your request, please ensure to log in and also check for any specific tutor comments.
Please note this request is intended to obtain approval for a course load reduction. You only need to request this when it will cause a credit shortage. In case of an already acquired credit surplus, you do not need to request a course load reduction. (However you will need to submit a non-standard UCU credit load then, see below)
In order to adjust the credit load you will be taking at University College Utrecht when you pre-enrol for next semester’s courses, you need to register a ‘non-standard UCU credit load’ via Osiris Student. The latter is not a request for approval, but to adjust the credit load you will be allocated at University College Utrecht next semester, and is in effect immediately.
This procedure is used to request a withdrawal from one or more courses. Please note that once a course withdrawal request has been approved, any results you may have already obtained as part of this course will be removed – this cannot be reversed. The form to request a course load reduction is available in OSIRIS Zaak/Case.
Please go to OSIRIS Student, and log in. Go to the tab “Cases” and then on Start case -> Curriculum Matters. You can then scroll down and choose “UCU course withdrawal”. You will be informed about the outcome of your request, please ensure to log in and also check for any specific tutor comments.
This procedure is used for requesting an extension of the final due date of papers or assignments. It only applies if the hand-in date is moved beyond the last day of the semester. Requests will only be granted (a) if submitted no later than the final day of the semester, AND (b) in case of extenuating circumstances. The form to request an extension for all courses is available in OSIRIS Zaak/Case.
Please go to OSIRIS Student, and log in. Go to the tab “Cases” and click on Start case -> Curriculum Matters. You can then scroll down and choose “UCU extension request”. You will be informed about the outcome of your request, please ensure to log in and also check for any specific teacher or tutor comments.
The University College Utrecht Assessment Policy Plan allows for you to request a catch-up exam for any individual written in-class assignment that you have missed. Find all information about catch-up exams here.
