the completion of each block.
ART. 5.2 - ACADEMIC ADVISING
1. LUC undertakes the introduction and academic supervision of students
enrolled in the degree programme, with the aim to help students formulate

meeting per block dedicated to the development and review of the
student’s study plan.

3. Where the advice of a personal tutor is contested, students can appeal to the
Senior Tutor.
4. Students can seek advice from their personal tutors at any time during the
academic year. Students should keep their personal tutors up-to-date regarding
matters related to or affecting their academic performance.
ART. 5.3 - P1 (PART 1) STUDY ADVICE
1. The first two semesters of the programme at LUC constitute ‘P1’ (part 1)
of the programme. This corresponds to the core programme, prior to
specialization in a major. ‘P2’ (part 2) is comprised of the 2nd and 3rd years
(semesters 3-6). The final degree classification will be calculated based on P2
performance. Students must pass P1 before progressing to P2.
2. At the end of two semesters of enrollment in the degree programme
(usually the end of the first academic year), LUC gives each student his/her
P1 study advice. This is an important moment, and the advice will be issued
as a formal document.
3. The specific purpose of this moment is for students and their tutors to discuss
the continuation of a student’s enrolment at LUC into P2.
4. Negative study advice is binding.
5. Negative P1 advice leads to exclusion from assignments and examinations
that are part of the degree programme for a period of 6 years; students receiving
such advice will be asked to leave LUC.
6. Such negative advice is issued by the Dean of LUC.
7. Prior to such negative advice being issued, the student is given a chance to
be heard by the Examinations Committee, on behalf of the Dean of LUC.
The Student Academic Representative of the LUC Academic Board or an
academic advisor (or tutor) can be present as an observer during the hearing.
8. An appeal against negative advice may be lodged within four weeks from
the day on which the decision was taken. The appeal should be lodged with
the appeals board (CBE - College van Beroep voor de Examens). An appeal
against a decision made by the CBE must be lodged in a court of law.
9. Positive advice can be given by the Dean or by the Examinations Committee
on behalf of the Dean.
