Enrolment course and exam

Before enrolling for courses, follow these steps to ensure a smooth process:

• Check the enrolment periods.
• Check in Ocasys whether you fulfil the entry requirements of the course. Course enrolment is open to all, but if you do not fulfil the entry requirements, your course enrolment will not lead to an exam enrolment.
• If you participate in more than one LLM or track: check the schedule to see which courses you can take in the same block to avoid overlap.

Check the manual to see how to enrol.

The Research Master has two compulsory seminars. You have to enrol for the compulsory seminar yourself. Check the enrolment periods here.

If you did not enrol for a seminar during the enrolment period, contact the department in charge of the particular seminar as soon as possible.

For questions or problems regarding course enrolment, email the Education Coordination Office at octa-rechten rug.nl.

Always include:

• Your student number
• Your telephone number
• The courses you have questions about

You must enrol yourself in the compulsory seminars of your programme. Be aware of the (shorter) enrolment period for seminars.

At the Faculty of Law, course enrolment equals exam enrolment. You will be automatically enrolled for the exam and any resits if you:

• enrol for a course correctly
• meet the entry requirements, and
• have a valid UG student registration for your degree programme.

• At least three weeks before the start of the examination period, you will receive an email requesting you to check your exam enrolments.
• Check your exam enrolments in Ocasys to ensure everything is correct.
• One week before the start of the examination period, you will receive an email with your table number for each exam.
• Regularly check your UG email for updates.

If you decide not to take the exam or resit, de-enrol as soon as possible in Ocasys.

Forgot to enrol for a course or did not meet the requirements when exam enrolments were processed?

• A repair possibility is available in week 5 of each block for exam or resit enrolment in Ocasys.
• This enrolment does unfortunately not grant access to Brightspace; contact the department for access to the Brightspace page.
• After week 5, no repair is possible for that block’s exams.

According to the Examination Regulation, you must enrol for written exams. Failure to do so means you cannot participate, and any exam taken will be invalid.

Check the enrolment periods for repair possibility weeks.

If you fail or do not participate in the exam, you will be automatically enrolled for the resit if you:

• are correctly enrolled for the course in Ocasys
• meet the entry requirements, and

• have a valid UG student registration for your degree programme.

Do you only want to take the resit? Then enrol for the course, but de-enrol from the exam as soon as your exam enrolment is confirmed.

For questions or problems regarding exam enrolment and table numbers, contact the Exam Administration at exams-law rug.nl.

Brightspace is the digital learning environment of the University of Groningen (UG). Under the tab Courses, as a student or lecturer, you can easily share course materials, assignments and information. Everything you need for your courses is brought together on these course pages.

When you enrol for a course in Ocasys, the course information page will automatically appear in Brightspace within 24 hours. You will find the course page under the tab 'Courses'.

• If you enrol in Ocasys but cannot find the course the next day, the lecturer may not have activated the course in Brightspace yet. Contact your lecturer for assistance.
• For technical issues with viewing course information in Brightspace, reach out to your Faculty Brightspace support team.
