Enrolment deadlines 2025/2026

A. Before every lecture period

You have to enroll for every course unit via Progress (this includes your thesis which is considered a course unit). You can enroll for a maximum of four course units per lecture period. If you wish to take more than four course units, you need to ask permission from your programme coordinator. With the proof of permission (e.g. an email) you can go to the Student Support Desk where you will be
enrolled you for the courses in question.
If you are registered for two Bachelor's or Master's degree programmes at FEB, you do not need to ask for permission from the programme coordinator. You can visit the Student Student Desk straight away.

Note: new students can also enroll during the faculty introduction activities.

How to enroll? See this video.

• Registration before the deadline

The deadline for enrolment is one week before the start of the lecture period.
You will only be guaranteed a place in the course unit if you enroll before this deadline.

• Registration after the deadline

If you enroll after the deadline you will not be guaranteed a place in the course unit. However, there are some limited possibilities up until one week after the
lecture period starts.

• If a course enrolment is not closed after the deadline has passed, you can enroll via Progress until the course enrolment closes or until one week after the first lecture week. You will be granted access to the course unit in the Student Portal and you will be registered for the exam.
• If a course enrolment is closed after the deadline has passed, you need to enroll for the exam in week 5 - the Enrolment Check Week - when Progress re-opens for checking all your exam enrolments.
  The lecturer can decide to add you add you to the course in Brightspace, thereby giving you access to information on the course unit.

Once the first lecture week has finished, you will not be allowed to enroll for course units. Depending on the course unit, you may be allowed to take the course unit in the next semester or academic year.

B. During lecture week 5: the Enrolment Check Week

During this week, you should check and/or adjust your exam enrolments in Progress. This is your responsibility.
After this week you will be not be able to change anything and will have to comply with the official procedure at the Board of Examiners. If you do not register for exams via Progress and still take the exam(s), you will not receive a grade.

Avoid problems and follow the checklist for this week:

• Check whether your list of exams and resits in Progress is correct
  You will see a list of the exams you may take. These are the exams for which the faculty has enrolled you and which you are entitled to take. You may not take any exams if you do not fulfil the admissions criteria. You will receive an e-mail about your exam enrolments, so keep a close eye on your e-mail.

• Manage your enrolments
  Add any exams/resits you want to take or deregister for the exams/resits you do not intend to take. Enrolment in Progress is open during the entire Enrolment Check Week (lecture week 5).
  - Add exams:
  You can enroll for exams/resits of course units for which you have been not enrolled. You must fulfil the admissions criteria for the course unit concerned. You will be given automatic access to that course unit in Brightspace.
  Students who are not registered for a degree programme at FEB and who did not enroll for the course in Progress have to contact the FEB Student Support Desk to be enrolled for the exam.
  - Deregister for exams/resits:
  You must deregister for any exams/resits you do not intend to take.
  If you deregister for a regular (first chance) exam, you can still take the resit. You will have to enroll for that resit yourself during the Enrolment Check week of the relevant period.
• Identification

  Prior to the examination you must show your student ID card, otherwise you will not be allowed to participate in the (re)examination.
  If you have lost your student ID card, you can, by way of high exception, identify yourself with a passport, ID card or Dutch driving license. Apply for a new student card as soon as possible.

• Check exam regulations
  Make sure you know your rights and obligations in relation to exams and resits. You find all regulations here.
