I missed my registration deadline

At the VU it is no longer possible to register after the registration term had ended. If you wish to apply for an exception you can file a motivated complaint with the faculty board. The Faculty Board will only consider your complaint as valid:

  • If you show there was force majeure (e.g. long-term sickness of yourself, or the passing of a relative) during the complete registration term, making it impossible for you to register on time.
  • In case of disproportionate consequences to your progress in your programme of study.
  • If there is place available in the course in question.
  • Your complaint will only be considered by the Faculty Board if you provide proof showing force majeure or disproportionate consequences to your progress.
