Study delay due to circumstances beyond your control

30 October 2026

If you were delayed in your studies during the 2025–2026 academic year due to circumstances beyond your control or top-level sport, please be aware that you may be eligible for financial compensation for this delay. The following situations may be considered as circumstances beyond your control: (chronic) illness, disability, pregnancy and childbirth, exceptional family circumstances (such as loss of a close relative), caring responsibilities and educational circumstances beyond your control (your study adviser can tell you whether this applies to your situation).

If you fell behind during the 2025-2026 academic year due to one or more of the abovementioned circumstances, check the website below to see if you meet the requirements and submit a request to have your study delay registered. Please note: you must do this before March 1, 2027 — that is, no later than February 28, 2027. Requests submitted after the deadline cannot be processed.
