General information
Registering at the University of Groningen
You must register as a student at the UG before 1 September. You will not be able to start your degree programme if matters like uploading your ID, filling out your qualifications and paying your tuition fee, have not been arranged before 1 September! Studielink provides an overview of everything you need to have done. Read more about it on Application and registration and contact Students Information & Administration if you have any further questions or need help.
Before you can start your programme
Check the following ‘to do’ list to make sure you are properly prepared when you start your degree programme:
- Activate your student account
- Upload a photograph for your student card
- Check the Student Portal
- Install your Student Mail
- Check your study programme and timetable (click on the appropriate academic year in the upper right corner)
- Check the Faculty of Arts annual timetable with teaching weeks, exam periods and holidays
- Check the practical information about studying and living in Groningen: for Dutch students and international students
Course enrolment
As a new student, you will be automatically enrolled in the classes and thus courses of the first semester. From the second semester onwards you will have to enrol in courses yourself. The Office for Student Affairs will inform you of the enrolment period and procedure by (student) email. More information can also be found on the Student Portal.
Once you are registered for a course unit, and provided you satisfy the relevant entry requirements, you will in principle automatically be registered for the exam.
Functional impairment
Do you have AD(H)D, ASD, Dyslexia or another functional impairment that may affect your studies or study progress? If you would, for example, like to be considered for special facilities please contact your student adviser as soon as possible, but at least before the start of the academic year.
