Course and exam enrolment

Updated exam enrolment procedure

Due to recent changes to the enrolment procedure, you no longer need to take the extra step of confirming exam participation. Instead, you only need to enrol for your exams at least 10 days before the exam date. See further details below under 'Enrolment'.  

Compulsory for all components

You must enrol for all components of your study programme, such as lectures, seminars and exams. This applies to both compulsory elements and elective credits. If you are not enrolled, you may not participate. 

Exceptions

Are you an exchange student, are you following a pre-master programme, or are you following courses whilst being registered at another Dutch university? If so, different enrolment procedures apply. You will receive further information by email.

Plan and enrol via MyStudymap

You can enrol via MyStudymap. In this system you can also plan your enrolments in advance. This means you can plan everything in your own time, then submit all your course enrolments in one go at the start of the enrolment period. Please note: your enrolment plan is not an actual enrolment and does not guarantee you a place.

Enrolment deadlines

Courses

You can find the enrolment deadlines for each course in the prospectus. For most courses, you can enrol till maximum 14 days before the course is due to start. 

Exams

You must enrol for your exams at least 10 days before the exam date. If you are not enrolled, you may not participate. So don’t forget! If you miss the exam enrolment deadline, contact your Education Administration Office to find out if late enrolment is possible.

Busy periods: ticket system

During busy periods, MyStudymap makes use of a ticket system to prevent the system becoming overloaded. This works as follows: 

  • When you access MyStudymap, you will be put on a waiting list. You can see your place on the waiting list and an estimate of how long you will have to wait. You can also set up an email alert to notify you when it's your turn. 
  • Once it's your turn, you will have ten minutes in which to log in. If you don't log in, you will be allocated a new place on the waiting list. 
  • Once you are logged in, you can go ahead with your planning and enrolment.

Status of your enrolments

On the status screen in MyStudymap you can see if your enrolment has been successful. If so, you will be given access to the course environment in Brightspace and the course will appear in your personal timetable in MyTimetable. Please note: it can become very busy at the start of the enrolment period so you may have to wait a couple of hours for your enrolment to be processed.

Questions

Compulsory for all components

You must enrol for all components of your study programme, such as lectures, seminars and exams. This applies to both compulsory elements and elective credits. If you are not enrolled, you may not participate. 

Exceptions

First-year students are registered via the programme coordinator and the OSC FGGA for the first semester. They have to register themselves for the second semester.

Are you following courses whilst being registered at another Dutch university? If so, different enrolment procedures apply.

If you have any difficulty in registering and you cannot enrol, do check the Studyguide for more information.  For some courses and workgroups separate agreements have been made about enrolment.

Written exams are held at De Broodfabriek in Rijswijk or at the Wijnhaven education building. De Broodfabriek offers the possibility to organise exams where you take the test on your own laptop that you also use for education. There are no special requirements for your laptop, see checklist.

We will of course find a solution for special situations.  If you expect problems at this stage, e-mail the OSC.

You will receive further explanation about the house rules, identity check and how to access the test.
