1. Will my grade be added to my grade transcript after I successfully complete a BHC?
Honours Classes are extracurricular courses, which means that the credits can not be used for the elective space of your regular study programme.*
* Exception: if you are an LUC student, you are allowed to submit the credits of a single Bachelor Honours Class in your elective space, subject to prior approval by the Board of Examiners of the LUC.
2. What should I do if my grade does not appear in uSis among my Honours College track results?
Once you have successfully completed a Bachelor Honours Class, contact your Honours College coordinator about your grade. They will know how to add your grade to your Honours College track study results.
3. Will I receive a certificate for successfully completing a BHC?
If you do not participate in the Honours College:
- You can request to add your course as an extracurricular activity on your diploma supplement. Please contact your faculty's student administration.
- You can also request a certificate via usis-ha@ha.leidenuniv.nl.
If you do participate in the Honours College:
- Check whether your Bachelor Honours Class appears among the required courses in uSis after completion of the class. Is this not the case? Contact the coordinator of your honours programme.
- After successful completion of the Honours College (30 EC), you will receive an Honours College certificate, showing your Bachelor Honours Class as well as other honours courses you completed.
4. I am a student at TU Delft or Erasmus University Rotterdam and I have successfully completed a BHC at Leiden University. How will my grade appear in my records at my university?
Upon successful completion of a Bachelor Honours Class, you will receive a certificate and a certified grade transcript that you can submit at the student administration of your university. With these documents, they can process your grade.
