Procedure Elective credits
Modern Foreign Language 3
Students are informed about this course via the Stenden Times, Intranet and e-mail. Only when
the students pass the closing test and have participated sufficiently, they obtain a certain
amount of EC. The person responsible for the different foreign languages will give the points to
the Service Desk (and they register them in ProgRESS).We charge from students a fee
(approximately half of the costs).
Culture Club
The chairman of the Culture Club organisation gives the IHM dean a list with names, activities
and credits. The director signs this list and gives it to the IHM Service Desk. The Service Desk
will send the credits to ProgRESS.
Individual activities
The student consults his study career coach, decides which competencies he wants to practice
and strengthen and on basis of this he chooses an activity. The student fills in the proposal (see
Blackboard at IHM Exam Committee ) and lets it sign by his study career coach. After the
activity has taken place, the student writes a report of 1 A4 maximum and hands it in at his
study career coach. The last one gives the credits to the student and to the Service Desk. The
Service Desk gives the credits to ProgRESS.
Reports of undertaken activities are added to the student‟s portfolio.
Additional information
One credit stands for an effort of 28 hours: preparing and performing the activity and writing an
evaluation report.
It is not possible to connect different, unrelated activities that add up to 28 hours (or a multiple
of 28 hours) to gain an elective credit.
A student can gain more elective credits than is obligatory.
Extra credits will be registered in ProgRESS and will be added to the total amount of credits.
Students who perform extra activities for the IHM institute can be rewarded with a certificate of
commitment.
The activity should not be paid for.
The activity should be performed in principle with a minimum of or without coaching of a
lecturer.
The evaluation report is being discussed with the personal coach through the student‟s portfolio.

2C.1 IHM Exam Committee
Introduction
IHM has an Exam Committee. The Examination Regulations of Stenden University (see Student
Regulations, Part 1) and the Module Examination Regulations of IHM (in this study guide)
describe the tasks and responsibilities of the Exam Committee. In short: the IHM Exam
Committee is the institution at IHM that will determine in a neutral and competent way if a
student meets the requirements of the Education and Exam Regulations to get the degree of
Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) in Hotel Management.
The Exam Committee has 5 members: a chairman, a secretary and three other members.
The Exam Committee has a meeting three times per module period: Tuesdays in week 2, 5 and
8.
Once per month a graduation meeting is held in which the Exam Committee determines which
students have graduated and which students have passed their foundation year.
Formal requirements requests to the IHM Exam Committee
1. Requests to the exam committee must be handed in to the secretary of the committee
or in his absence to the secretariat of the Education one calendar week before the
meeting date. The meeting dates of the exam committee are published in this study
guide. Letters that are handed in too late, will automatically be put on the Exam
Committee‟s agenda of their next meeting.
2. For this request, a student must use the form published on the IHM Intranet or on
Blackboard (see 2C.4). This form must be filled out on a computer, type written or

way.
