4 Regulations for illness and other exceptional circumstances
Below, we indicated the necessary arrangements you must make when illness or other exceptional
circumstances (temporarily) prevent you from participating in your education.
4.1 Scheme concerning illness or other exceptional circumstances
If a student cannot be present at a compulsory educational activity due to illness or exceptional
circumstances, then he or she has to report this on the same day before 17:00 o‟clock at the Front Desk
(+31 (0) 58 - 244 1335) of the study programme. If the student leaves, due to illness or circumstances,
while compulsory educational activities are still ongoing, then he or she must report this to the Front
Desk.
If illness or exceptional circumstances threaten to cause a study delay, then the student (full-time and
work-study) must contact his or her study coach/study programme coach and the student counselling
office.
4.2 Not attaining the standard of the (binding) recommendation
If you believe that, due to illness and other exceptional circumstances (refer to 4.4), you will not be able
to achieve the standard of the binding recommendation on the continuation of your studies in the first or
second year, then you must report the exceptional circumstance to your personal coach as well as to a
student counsellor.
Furthermore, before 1 June (February intake before 1 November), you must submit a written request to
the Examination Committee to have the exceptional circumstance taken into account in the preparation
of the recommendation.
For more information: Refer to chapter 3 of part 1 of the Students‟ Charter, which also includes the
„Regulations on study advice‟.
4.3 Study delay
If you believe that, due to illness and other exceptional circumstances (refer to 4.4), you will incur such a
study delay, that your studies will require more than four years to complete, you must report the
illness/exceptional circumstance to your personal coach as well as to a student counsellor.
The student counsellor will discuss with you the consequences for your student grants and loans and can
inform you about the profile fund. In order to qualify for financial support from the profile fund, you must
report the exceptional circumstance as soon as possible to the student counsellor. If you know that you
will not be able to participate in the education e.g. due to a scheduled admission to a hospital, you must
report this immediately.
You can also contact the student counselling office if there is a chance that you will not be able to
graduate within the allowable term of 10 years due to exceptional circumstances. For more information,
refer to chapter 6 of part 1 of the 2011/2012 Students‟ Charter, which also includes the Scheme for the
Profile Fund.

counselling office.
4.4 Exceptional circumstances
Exceptional circumstances, referred to in 4.2 and 4.3, include the following circumstances:

immediate family)

„non-feasibility‟ of a study programme from the student‟s point of view
4.5 Basic facilities for students with a functional restriction
We define basic facilities as those facilities that should always be present,
irrespective of whether there are students using them at any given point in time. The Equal Treatment of
Disabled and Chronically Ill People Act has been in effect since 1 December 2003. The Act stipulates that
when a student with a functional restriction requires modifications of a technical, educational, or
supportive nature, in order to be able to attend a study programme and he or she requests such
