Requesting exam facilities

General

The Faculty of Law supports students facing significant obstacles due to personal circumstances by offering tailored exam facilities. These facilities need to be approved by the Board of Examiners and are coordinated by the relevant departments or the Office for Student Affairs.

Incoming exchange students who receive accommodations from their home university can also apply for such facilities in Groningen.

Temporary exam faciliteis

If you need short-term support - such as due to a broken wrist - follow these steps:

  • Contact the Exchange Officers as soon as possible.
  • Submit your application using the application form.
  • Provide a recent doctor’s note or expert statement and attach it to the form.
  • You will receive a decision from the Board of Examiners a.s.a.p.


Note

Temporary facilities are granted only once and are not automatically extended. Your approval letter will outline steps to make them permanent.

Permanent exam facilities

  • Contact and inform the Exchange Officer as soon as possible.
  • Fill out the application form specifying the type of accommodations you need. Attach the letter from your home university to your request.
  • You will receive a decision from the Board of Examiners a.s.a.p.

 
Please note: we may offer different exam facilities than the ones offered by your home university.

Important:
The Board of Examiners will review your request and notify you of their decision. If approved, facilities may be granted permanently or for a set period, as specified in your approval letter.

Key deadlines

Submit your application and required documents before the following dates to ensure timely processing:

  • Block 1: 28 September 2026
  • Block 2: 7 December 2026
  • Block 3: 1 March 2027
  • Block 4: 10 May 2027


Late applications will not be processed.

Your responsibilities

  • Apply on time and submit all required documents (e.g., doctor’s note, advice letter).
  • If you cannot secure an advice letter before the deadline, apply for temporary facilities instead of permanent facilities. Include your expert’s statement in the form.
  • You will receive a confirmation email from the exam facilities coordinator at least one week before the exam period. If you did not receive this email, contact voorzieningen-rechten rug.nl as soon as possible.

Not participating in an exam?

  • If you decide not to take an exam, notify the department’s secretariat in charge of the course immediately.
  • If you are using a separate exam room, cancel your facilities with the facilities department (voorzieningen-rechten rug.nl) on the day of the exam at the latest (as stated in your approval letter).
  • Warning: unreported absences will result in the cancellation of your facilities after a second occurrence.

Need help?

  • For general questions, contact the Exchange Officers at exchangelaw rug.nl   
  • For specific questions about your facilities contact the exam facilities department at voorzieningen-rechten rug.nl.

Requesting an aberrant examination

What is an aberrant examination?

An aberrant examination adjusts the standard exam setup or schedule to prevent disproportionate delays in your study programme. While often an oral exam, the examiner decides format, but also the timing.

Once approved:

  • Contact the examiner to arrange the details.
  • The exam must occur within two months of the Board of Examiners' decision.
  • You must be registered as a student at the time of the exam. Without valid registration, the examiner cannot conduct the exam, and your result will not be processed.

When can you request an aberrant examination?

Exams typically follow the schedule and format outlined in the Teaching and Examination Regulations, Ocasys, and the exam schedule. However, if your degree programme faces unacceptable delay, the Board of Examiners may approve an aberrant examination.

Conditions for approval:

  • Only granted in extraordinary and pressing cases under strict conditions.
  • Only the Board of Examiners can approve them.


For more details, refer to the Aberrant Examination Regulation.

Students with a support question

The Faculty offers tailored support for students with impairments, disabilities and/or chronic illnesses. Since every situation is unique, contact the study advisers for assistance.

How to apply

Complete the request form for the Board of Examiners.

Note: do not submit a request for an aberrant examination for your final course if you have not completed all other components. The Board of Examiners cannot process such requests.
