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.

Registering and deregistering for interim examinations
It is very important for us to know how many students will participate in an exam, in order to arrange the exam forms, hall capacity, invigilators etc. Biomedical Sciences students always have to register for exams via uSis. The study advisor and course coordinator are not authorised to register students for an exam.
When can you register?
You can register until 10 days before the date of the exam. The final closing dates for registration are published in the exam schedule on the ‘roostersite’ and on Blackboard in the Onderwijszaken BW module.
How to register for an exam
- Register for the exam via uSis. You will receive a confirmation email and can immediately check if you have registered. If you register for an exam for which you are not authorised, the registration will be annulled by the Student Administration.
- Check the list of candidates that is published in the Blackboard module ‘DOO voor Biomedische wetenschappen’ two days before the closing date. Are you not in the list? You can still register until the official closing date via uSis.
- Not registered for an exam? The final list of participants is published on Blackboard after the final closing date. If you have not registered, you will be denied access to the exam. If you do take the exam your grade will not be valid and counts as an attempt.
Result of an exam not available ten days before a re-exam?
In some cases the result of an exam is not yet known 10 days before the re-exam. These exams will have different deadlines for registration.
Deregistering for an exam
You can deregister for an exam via uSis until the closure of registration. After the closing you can deregister by sending an email to the study advisor (not the course coordinator) where you describe your reasons for not participating. Deregistering after the closing is only possible in the case of special personal circumstances.
