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.

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

• Contact a study adviser 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.

For long-term support, complete the Information tool to determine your next steps:

• Some facilities can be requested directly via the tool.
• Others require an appointment with a student counsellor first.
• After receiving an advice letter from the student counsellor, submit your application using the application form.

Important

You must share the advice letter with the Faculty yourself, by attaching it to the form. The student counsellors do not share the letter for privacy reasons.

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• General questions about exam facilities? Contact study advisers for guidance.
• For specific questions about your facilities contact the exam facilities department at voorzieningen-rechten rug.nl.

Every LLM student must request course approval at least three months before graduation, but at least at the moment it is requested by the Faculty to do so. For LLM students this will be at the start of your LLM. This also applies if you are not graduating in that particular year yet.

Course approval serves two purposes:

• It initiates the graduation process for your LLM.
• It ensures you haven’t missed any courses.

Without timely approval, you may face delays in graduation. Your degree certificate is based on your approved list of courses, so always verify its accuracy and completeness.

• An LLM requires at least 60 ECTS.

• Include all courses, even those you haven’t completed yet.

• Place additional courses beyond the minimum ECTS in the extracurricular courses section.

This is taken care of in Progress. Follow these steps to register for graduation:

• Go to Registrations and select Faculty of Law.
• Choose Application degree certificate/approval courses and select 1^st master degree Law LLM (code MABULLLM) or 2^nd or 3^rd, depending how many LLMs you participate in
• If applicable, choose the track you are completing
• Complete the steps in the graduation process.

Ensure your list of courses is correct and complete. Place courses in the appropriate categories (e.g., compulsory courses, seminar, Law in Practice). Any extra courses you have taken should be placed in the section extracurricular credits.

Submit your list of courses when requested, even if you haven’t passed all courses yet.

Find the graduation manual in Progress:

• Navigate to the graduation process via Enrolling.
• The manual link is at the top of the process.

You can also access the LLM graduation manual here.

To update your list of courses, email your changes to BoE-Law rug.nl. Please add the appropriate course codes in your request. This can be done at any time before your graduation date has been set.

For all programme-specific requirements, refer to the LLM Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER).

Contact BoE-Law rug.nl for assistance or check in with your study advisers.

You can apply for an exemption for a course based on results obtained elsewhere.

Note

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.

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.

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.

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.
