What if I submit my application after the deadline because of troubles with the system?

In general, we cannot consider late applications. Not only do we have an early deadline for non-EU applicants due to the lengthy visa procedure (please refer to the concerning question), we also have an internal deadline concerning the registration of new students with our university.Only in exceptional circumstances will we consider applications that were submitted too late.

Since 2018 it is possible to apply for an after-deadline application via this link: https://www.rug.nl/education/contact/information-services/registration-and-payment-after-start-date-programme. The application will first go to the CSA, after that the Faculty needs to decide if the student can start with his/her program.
