Legal information
This is a translated version of ‘Reglement inschrijving en voorbereiding voor bachelor
opleidingen en associate-degree programma’s, Inschrijving 2015 - 2016, Studiejaar
2016 - 2017’. In the event of any conflict between the English and the Dutch versions,
the Dutch version shall prevail.
Introduction
The most important rules on enrollment as a student or external student
at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences for the academic year
2016 - 2017 are set out in these Registration and Preparation Regulations
for Bachelor Programmes and Associate Degree Programmes.
These regulations also include the admission requirements to be met by
applicants (future students) before they will be able to enroll as students
for a Bachelor programme or an associate degree programme at
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. Most of these requirements are
the same as the standard admission requirements that apply for
any Bachelor programme or associate degree programme. However,
additional admission requirements apply for some Bachelor programmes
and in some specific cases.
These regulations also set out the legal position enjoyed by applicants
(future students). It is vital that anyone who has any questions about the
enrollment conditions for and/or admissibility to a Bachelor programme
or associate degree programme reads these regulations very carefully.
The legal position of students is set out separately in the student handbooks for the institutes under which the Bachelor programme or
associate degree programme in question falls. The student handbooks
can be found on HINT.
These regulations were adopted by the Executive Board on 5 October
2015 and will apply to anyone wishing to enroll and prepare for the
2016 - 2017 academic year.
These regulations will replace all previous versions of the Registration and
Preparation Regulations for Bachelor Programmes and Associate Degree
Programmes adopted at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.

Article 1.1
General provisions
These regulations determine how students enroll with and prepare for
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, pursuant to Sections 7.32 et
seq. of the Higher Education and Research Act (Wet op het hoger onderwijs
en wetenschappelijk onderzoek (hereinafter: WHW)). The Executive Board
has mandated the powers that the institution is able to exercise on the
basis of these statutory provisions to the Director of the Administration,
Information and Control.
Section 7.31a of the WHW et seq. regulates the rights and obligations of
prospective students that submit applications prior to the academic year
in question. Once prospective students have submitted their applications,
they are referred to as ‘applicants’ in these regulations.
The study programme activities referred to in Section 7.31a of the WHW
et seq are covered by the term ‘study programme check’ at Rotterdam
University of Applied Sciences.
The following also applies:
1. When applying for the first year of a Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme by 1 May at the latest, participation in the study
programme check will be mandatory.
The Bachelor programme or associate degree programme will issue
applicants with individual study programme recommendations.
Applicants are not obliged to observe these recommendations and
they do not have any consequences for the specific requirement to be
met when enrolling.
2. When submitting applications for the first year of a Bachelor programme or associate degree programme from 2 May until the deadline of
31 July 2016, prospective students wishing to undertake a so-called
selective study programme must have completed the mandatory
9

3. Different rules for admission apply for the applicant groups referred
to in Article 1.4.5(3).
4. Applicants must have met all of the enrollment conditions applicable
before 1 September 2016.

Article 1
Registration
Article 1.4
The application procedure: the study programme
check and study programme recommendation
1.4.1
The study programme check The object of the study programme check is to provide an insight into the
suitability of an applicant for the Bachelor programme or associate degree
programme chosen and also into factors that would prevent the
successful completion of the Bachelor programmes or the associate
degree programme.
The study programme recommendation will follow on from the results
of the interview. The study programme recommendation sets out the
suitability of an applicant for the Bachelor programme or associate degree
programme chosen, possibly supplemented by a recommendation on
which other Bachelor programme(s) or association degree programme(s)
would be more suitable for the applicant. If the assessment of the
suitability of an applicant is positive, a positive study programme
recommendation will be issued; a negative assessment will be followed
by a negative study programme recommendation. The study programme
recommendation will also state whether it is advisable for an applicant to
take part in support or brush-up activities.
The study programme check will be a mandatory part of the enrollment
procedure at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences for all Bachelor
programmes and associate degree programmes.
This requirement does not apply to study programmes with a (centralised
and decentralised) restricted intake or study programmes with additional
requirements, such as the Speech-Language Pathology study programme
and the art study programmes (see Article 1.5).
The study programme check applies to applicants (full-time, part-time and
dual-track) who apply for a place in the first year of the relevant Bachelor
programme or associate degree programme and who have not previously
been enrolled for the Bachelor programme or associated degree
programme in question.
26
Article 1
Registration
If an applicant fails to take part in the study programme check, he will not
be entitled to enroll for the relevant Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme in accordance with Section 7.32 up to and including
7.34 of the WHW.
The study programme check consists of the interview and is conducted
on the basis of the study programme activity (or activities) per Bachelor
programme or associate degree programme. If extra documents and/or
activities are needed to support the interview, this will be announced at
the same time as the invitation for the interview and will also have been
announced in advance on the relevant programme page of
www.rotterdamuas.com or www.hogeschoolrotterdam.nl.
The interview will take place with job holders from Rotterdam University of
Applied Sciences that have been designated to conduct these interviews.
1.4.2
Applying up to and including 1 May, or after 1 May 2016 with 31 July 2016 as the latest application date
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences applies rules relating to the study programme check to applicants who submit applications on or after 1
May 2016, with 31 July 2016 as the latest date for submitting applications.
1. Applicants who apply for a place on a (full-time, dual-track or part-
time) Bachelor programme or associate degree programme by 1 May
2016 at the latest will receive a study programme recommendation
(which simply serves as a recommendation).
Although applicants are strongly recommended to observe the recommendation issued to them, it will not have any consequences for the
remainder of the enrollment procedure. Different rules apply to some
groups of applicants (see Article 1.5).
2. a. Applicants who submit applications to Rotterdam University of
Applied Sciences for places on non-selective Bachelor program
mes or associate degree programmes for the first time after 1
May, with 31 July 2016 as the latest application date, will be
subject to the same requirements as applicants submitting
applications by 1 May at the latest (see Article 1.4.3).
27
Article 1
Registration
b. Applicants who submit applications to Rotterdam University of
Applied Sciences for places on selective Bachelor programmes or
associate degree programmes (see Article 1.4.3) for the first time
after 1 May, with 31 July 2016 as the latest application date, will be
required to take part in a study programme check and also obtain
a positive study programme recommendation after taking part in
the study programme check.
If applicants are awarded a negative study programme recommendation, they will not be entitled to enroll in accordance with
Articles 7.32 up to and including 7.34 of the WHW. 3. Individuals who have submitted applications for places on programmes at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences on 1 May at the
latest and then decide, after 1 May, to change their applications into
applications for places on selective Bachelor programmes or associate
degree programmes (see Article 1.4.3), will be required to participate
in study programme checks before being able to enroll for the programmes in question. A positive study programme recommendation
will not be required in this situation.
4. Applicants who submit applications to a different university of applied
sciences by 1 May at the latest and attain the right to enroll there, but
then decide to submit applications to Rotterdam University of Applied
Sciences, will be required, under reference to Section 7.31.b of the
WHW, to take part in the study programme check if they wish to be
considered for enrollment. The requirement for anyone wishing to
apply for a place on a selective Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme to participate in a study programme check and
obtain a positive result does not apply here.
1.4.3 Selective Bachelor programmes and associate degree
programmes
The Executive Board at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences adopts
and publishes the list of selective Bachelor programmes and associate de28
Article 1
Registration
gree programmes on www.rotterdamuas.com or www.hogeschoolrotterdam.
nl on an annual basis. See Appendix 1 for further information.
1.4.4 Procedural provisions for the study programme check
The mandatory study programme check to be completed as part of the
total enrollment procedure will take place at the invitation of Rotterdam
University of Applied Sciences and will consist of the interview.
The interview will be conducted on the basis of the study programme
activity (or activities) established per Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme. These interview support activities may include
completing the so-called startmeter (a digital survey), putting together a
portfolio, writing a motivation letter, bringing along the most recent list(s)
of grades, attending an education activity at one of the sites of Rotterdam
University of Applied Sciences and preparing an overview of competencies
attained elsewhere. The Bachelor programme and/or the associate degree
programme will determine the study programme activities, announce
them on the relevant programme page at www.rotterdamuas.com or www.
hogeschoolrotterdam.nl and do this again when inviting applicants to attend interviews.
The rest of the procedure for the study programme check is as follows:
1. Apply for a place via Studielink
After applying for a place via Studielink, applicants will receive confirmation of their applications from Rotterdam University of Applied
Sciences and provisional student log-in accounts for the intranet at
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (HINT), linked to which are
student e-mail accounts.
2. Invitation to attend a interview
Applicants will receive written invitations to attend interviews from the
relevant Bachelor programme or associate degree programme. These
invitations will indicate which reservation system applicants may use
to register for the interviews or the dates and times at which the Ba29
Article 1
Registration
chelor programme or associate degree programme require applicants
to register. The invitations also state which study programme activities
are to be completed in preparation for the interview.
Provisions:
a. Where the performance of study programme checks for applicants applying for a place up to and including 1 May or applications after 1 May, with 31 July as the latest date for application submission are concerned, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences
applies a different regime to selective Bachelor programmes and
associate degree programmes as regards the study programme
recommendation as the outcome of the interview (see Article
1.4.2). A different invitation period for the attendance of the interview will apply to applicants who submit applications on or after
1 July, with 31 July as the latest date for submitting the application
(see Article 1.4.4.(c)).
b. Invitation to attend a interview, with registration up to 1 July 2016
If the reservation system for a Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme gives an applicant the opportunity to
determine a date and time him, the date and time in question
must be within three calendar weeks of the first invitation. If an
applicant is invited to attend on a day and date that has been
determined by the Bachelor programme or associate degree
programme, he will have one opportunity to change the date and
time in consultation with the Bachelor programme or
associate degree programme. However, this will only be possible
if the applicant has well-founded reasons for doing so.
If an applicant fails to comply with the invitation issued to him
and/or he fails to attend at the time reserved (“no-show”), the Bachelor programme or associate degree programme will give him a
second and final opportunity to attend.
The reservation period for the second opportunity will be limited
to two calender weeks. In special cases, institutional management
may decide to offer an applicant a third opportunity to attend. If
an applicant does not utilise this second, or even third, invitation
30
Article 1
Registration
within the period of time allowed for this purpose, and/or he once
again fails to appear (“no show”), the Student Service Center (SSC)
will reject his application for the Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme in question in Studielink. The above will cause
the applicant to lose the opportunity to enroll for the relevant
Bachelor programme or associate degree programme.
An applicant may lodge an administrative appeal against this decision with the Advisory Appeal Board, within six weeks of the date
of the rejection (see Appendix 4).
c. invitation with application on/after 1 July, with a deadline of 31
July 2016
After applying for a place on a Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme on or after 1 July, with 31 July 2016 as the
latest date for application submission, the applicant will receive an
invitation to attend the interview in calendar week 32 or 33 (8-20
August 2016), except where the Bachelor programme or associate degree programme offers other options on dates other than
those in the calendar weeks referred to above.
If an applicant does not utilise the invitation and/or he fails to attend
(no-show) at the set date and time in calendarweek 32 or 33 and/
or if he has not participated in the study programme activities
required, the Bachelor programme or associate degree programme will send him/her a second invitation, stating a date and
time determined by the Bachelor programme or associate degree
programme, which date and time will be within six school working
days of the first invitation.
If an applicant does not utilise this second invitation within the
period of time allowed for this purpose and/or he fails to show
again (no-show) and/or if he has not participated in the study
programme activities required, the Student Service Center (SSC)
will reject his application for the Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme in question in Studielink.
The above will cause the applicant to lose the opportunity to
31
Article 1
Registration
enroll for the relevant Bachelor programme or associate degree
programme.
An administrative appeal may be lodged against this decision with
the Advisory Appeal Board, within six weeks of the date of the
rejection (see Appendix 4).
d. interviews may be scheduled for any school working day. A school
working day may be any day from Monday up to and including
Saturday. 3. Study programme activities for the interview
In order to strengthen and substantiate the interview, the Bachelor
programme or associate degree programme will establish a study programme activity (or activities) to be completed prior to the interview.
This activity or activities will be announced on the relevant programme page on www.rotterdamuas.com or www.hogeschoolrotterdam.nl.
In the invitation to attend the interview, applicants will be reminded
again of the study programme activities set.
a. The study programme activity (or activities) may consist of an activity (or activities) that an applicant is to complete independently
at a location of his/her choice, or at one of the sites of Rotterdam
University of Applied Sciences, the latter to be determined by the
programme or associate degree programme.
If the study programme activity consists of the preparation
of a portfolio, motivation letter or letter of application, for
example, the conditions to be met will be stated clearly in the
invitation (see Article 1.4.4(2)).
If an applicant is invited to complete the startmeter (a digital
survey), he/she will receive the link to the startmeter and a
manual (instructions) from the relevant Bachelor programme
or associate degree programme. The report ensuing from the
startmeter will be sent to the provisional student e-mail account that has been given to the applicant as soon as he has
completed the digital survey.
Due to the processing time involved, applicants will be re32
Article 1
Registration
quired to have completed the startmeter in full at least three
school working days before the interview.
Applicants must bring the report and/or all of the documents
required in relation to the study programme activity (or activities) with them to the interview.
b. Participation in the study programme activity (or activities) is mandatory. If an applicant has not completed the study programme
activity (or activities) in full and correctly, it will not be possible for
him to take part in the interview for the Bachelor programme or
associate degree programme in question.
4. If the interview lapses as a result of the incomplete and incorrect
completion of the study programme activity (or activities), this
will be recorded as absence (“no-show”) on the part of the
applicant in question.
If an applicant fails to complete the study programme activity (or activities) that the Bachelor programme or associate degree
programme has set in the second invitation, the Student Service Center (SSC) will reject his application for the relevant Bachelor
programme or associate degree programme in Studielink. The above
will cause the applicant to lose the opportunity to enroll for the relevant Bachelor programme or associate degree programme.
An administrative appeal may be lodged against this decision with the
Advisory Appeal Board, within six weeks of the date of the rejection
(see Appendix 4).
5. Submitting applications for more than one Bachelor programme
or associate degree programme at Rotterdam University of
Applied Sciences
a. Each Bachelor programme or associate degree programme at
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences will independently establish the study programme activity (or activities) and the content
thereof.
If an applicant wishes to have a interview at more than one
Bachelor programme or associate degree programme (subject
33
Article 1
Registration
to a maximum of three interviews), it is possible that an additional requirement (or requirements) will be imposed on the study
programme activities. This may mean that the applicant in question will be required to re-do the startmeter (a digital survey), the
motivation letter and the portfolio, etc., because of the different
competencies necessary for the future profession at hand.
b. If an applicant has submitted applications for a number of Bachelor programmes or associate degree programmes at
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, he will complete the
study programme check at the programme that is his first choice.
He will also notify the other Bachelor programmes and associate
degree programmes of his choice.
c. If an applicant ultimately decides to opt for a different Bachelor
programme or associate degree programme and applies for a
place on the programme in question, he will present the outcome
of the first study programme check to the Study Success contact
for the Bachelor programme or associate degree programme in
question. The Study Success contact person will consider whether
the information provided is sufficient for him to issue a valid study
programme recommendation for the Bachelor programme or
associate degree programme in question. If not, the Study
Success contact person will indicate which study programme
activities are still to be completed and what the follow-up
procedure will be.
6. Study programme recommendation
The study programme recommendation will be announced to the applicant in writing no later than 12 school working days after participation in the study programme check. See Article 1.4.2. for information
on whether or not a study programme recommendation is binding.
1.4.5 Special groups 1. Applicants with a functional disability

34
Article 1
Registration
consideration wherever possible when conducting and assessing his
study programme check. The applicant in question must notify
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences of a circumstance of this
nature in writing 12 school working days before the date of the study
programme check. This letter must be accompanied by a medical
certificate.
2. Applicants originating from the public entities of Bonaire, Sint
Eustatius and Saba, or Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten.
Applicants originating from the public entities of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, or Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, are required to take
part in the study programme check. However, they will not need to be
present at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences to do so, but and
will be able to take part via a digital means of communication.
Identification checks will be effected at the place of participation, by
a person or persons designated for this purpose by Rotterdam
University of Applied Sciences.
3. Applicants with a foreign prior education
Applicants with a foreign prior education will be able to submit their
applications up to and including 31 July 2016 at the latest and will be
required to meet the general conditions applicable to any applicant

A study programme check is not mandatory, but applicants are
urgently advised to take part in the study programme check.
In addition to the enrollment conditions applicable, applicants
originating from outside the European Economic Area must be in
possession of the residence documents required by law. They will be
expected to monitor the deadline(s) applicable themselves.

Article 1.5
Gaining a place on Bachelor programmes or associate degree programmes with a restricted intake or
that are subject to additional requirements
1.5.1.1 Bachelor programmes with a restricted intake
(centralised and decentralised selection)
1. There are three situations in which lots will be drawn to establish
which applicants may be enrolled for a certain Bachelor programme
(lot-drawing programmes):
a. the number of applicants who have submitted applications for
a certain Bachelor programme at Rotterdam University of Applied
Sciences exceeds the education capacity of the Bachelor programme
in question, which has been registered with the DUO;
b. the total number of applicants who have submitted applications
to the DUO for a certain Bachelor programme exceeds the
capacity applicable nationally;
c. the number of graduates from a certain Bachelor programme far
exceeds demand from the employment market. The restricted
intake is established by the Minister.
2. enrollment for a Bachelor programme for which a restricted intake
applies is only possible if an applicant submits a certificate that grants
him admission to the programme in question. The DUO issues this
certificate to applicants that have drawn a place.
3. The Bachelor programmes for which a lot-drawing procedure is in

4. Students wishing to enroll for a higher year of a Bachelor programme
for which a restricted intake applies may have their enrollment
refused if they have not been enrolled for this Bachelor. In this
situation, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences may refuse
enrollment on the basis of a shortage of education capacity in the
post-first-year stage (propedeuse).
The study programme check described in Article 1.4 is not mandatory for
applicants for lot-drawing programmes.
Certain programmes with a restricted intake do offer applicants the opportunity to carry out an optional study programme check.
Applicants are strongly recommended to take part in this optional study
programme check.
In academic year 2016 – 2017, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences

external) that debars a student from a Bachelor
programme or associate degree programme or
switching from one Bachelor programme or
associate degree programme and another.
1.6.1
A negative binding study recommendation debarring a student, issued by Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (internal BSR)
A student at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences who has received a
negative binding study recommendation debarring him from a
programme (a negative BSR) will no longer be able to enroll as a student
or external student for the same Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
This rule applies to full-time, part time and dual-track education. A
student will also no longer be able to enroll as a student or external
student for the full-time, part-time or dual-track for Bachelor programmes
that has the same first-year stage (propedeuse) programme as the Bachelor programme from which he student has been debarred.
The Student Handbook for each institute indicates which Bachelor

Students will have one opportunity to approach institutional management
39
Article 1
Registration
for the Bachelor programme or associate degree programme in question
to request re-admittance to the same Bachelor programme or associate
degree programme after a minimum of one year. In this request, students
will be expected to convince institutional management that they will be
able to complete the Bachelor programme or associate degree programme successfully (Section 7.8b(5)) of the WHW).
A student who wishes to be enrolled for a different Bachelor programme
or associate degree programme (Section 7.31a(5) of the WHW) than the
one for which he/she has been rejected and wishes to do so with effect
from the new academic year must submit an application for the programme in question and take part in the study programme check referred to in
Article 1.4.
If an application relates to a selective programme, an application after 1
May will not be subject to the requirement that participation in the study
programme check must result in a positive recommendation.
The submission of an application for the other Bachelor programme or
associate degree programme will be possible via Studielink until 1 August.
Between 1 August and 1 September 2016, applications will be submitted
via the application procedure applicable for the Student Service Center.
Added to this, applicants will only be enrolled if they have met all of the
various enrollment and payment conditions before 1 September.
Students can enroll for the same Bachelor programme of associate degree
programme at a different university of applied sciences.
1.6.2

Appendix 5
Regulations for the Examinations Appeals Board
ARTICLE 1
The Examinations Appeals Board
Generally speaking, the submission of a judicial appeal to the
Examinations Appeals Board must be regarded as a last resort.
A judicial appeal will only be submitted once all other attempts to resolve
a dispute have proved unsuccessful. In the majority of cases, it will be possible to resolve conflicts or complaints more quickly with the assistance
of the student counsellor or the study career coach. If this proves unsuccessful, it is advisable to contact the student counsellor or the head of
student affairs of the programme in question before submitting an official
notice of judicial appeal. By doing this, the student can obtain information
about the exact layout of and content required for a notice of judicial appeal, which other documents are to be included with the notice of judicial
appeal and the deadline by which the judicial appeal is to be submitted.
Decisions that the Examinations Appeals Board makes will be binding
for the competent authority and the student in question. It will not be
possible to submit an appeal to any other higher authority at Rotterdam
University of Applied Sciences. However, it is possible to lodge a judicial
appeal with the Appeals Tribunal for Higher Education.
1. The statutory tasks conferred on the Examinations Appeals
Board
Within Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences itself, an Examination Appeals Board is provided for use by students, applicants,
external students and other interested parties (Article 7.60 of the Act).
The Board holds the powers assigned by the Act to the Examination
Appeals Board. The Examination Appeals Board may decide to set
up Chambers (Section 7.60 of the WHW). Two Chambers have been
established at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
2. Composition of the Examinations Appeals Board
The Examination Appeals Board is made up of a Chairman, a deputy
Chairman, members and possibly of acting members, all of whom
are appointed by the Executive Board. The Chairman is not employed
by Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. The Executive Board is
required to make strenuous efforts to appoint one of the members
66
Appendix 5
and, if applicable, one of the acting members of each Chamber from
amongst the student body of Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. In each case, the Central Representative Board shall be invited to
nominate the student members or acting student members referred
to in this Paragraph.
3. Requirements relating to the Chairman and Deputy Chairman

2. A decision will be equated with a refusal to reach a decision. In the
event that a decision has not been taken within the deadline determined by law, or in the absence of such a deadline, has not been
taken within a reasonable period, this shall be deemed to be equivalent to a refusal to take a decision. A reasonable period of time is a
maximum of three weeks.
3. The appeal may be submitted by the interested party, student, prospective student or external student.
ARTICLE 3
Grounds for appeal

ARTICLE 5
Submitting judicial appeals
The person submitting a judicial appeal (the appellant) will be required to
68
Appendix 5
abide by the procedures provided for in the rules of procedure applicable
when seeking to achieve legal redress via the Examinations Appeals Board.
The full text of the rules of procedure for the Examinations Appeals Board
can be obtained from the Secretary and the student counsellors. A brief
summary of the procedure that is most customary follows below.
1. The appeals period
Judicial appeals must be submitted within a period of six weeks.
When calculating that deadline of six weeks, the duration of any
student holidays, as indicated in the official annual timetable for the
university of applied sciences, shall not be included.
This period of time will commence on the day after the date on which
the decision is announced. If the notice of appeal documentation is
being submitted by post, it must have been delivered to the Complaints & Disputes Office before the expiry of the appeals period.
If the notice of appeal is not submitted on time, it will not be processed, unless the appellant is able to demonstrate that the appeals
period was exceeded as a result of circumstances beyond his/her
control.
2. Notices of judicial appeal
All notices of judicial appeal must meet a number of requirements:
a. they must be signed;
b. they must state the name and address and student number at the
very least;
c. all notices of judicial appeal must be dated;
d. It must indicate the decision in relation to which the appeal is
being submitted, as well as the body or member of staff that took
that decision, and the grounds for the appeal.
The written decision issued by the relevant body, against which the
student wishes to appeal, must also be submitted with notice of appeal. Sometimes, this will not be possible, for example if the body
concerned refuses to issue a decision or if the appeal relates to an
action and not a decision. The appellant must state clearly the nature
69
Appendix 5
of his objection, why he believes that the decision must not be allowed to stand and what demand is being made. This may be written in
simple language. It is recommended that the assistance of the student
counsellor or other expert be requested. The notice of appeal must
be clearly legible (typed if possible), be addressed to the Examination
Appeals Board and must be submitted to the Complaints & Disputes
Office (Bureau Klachten en Geschillen).
3.Admissibility
The cause of action of the person submitting the notice of appeal shall
depend upon whether he/she has respected the statutory appeals period, upon any failure to observe the necessary procedure and upon
whether the interests of the person concerned are directly affected by
the disputed decision.
4 The settlement phase
The Chairman of the Examination Appeals Board requests the parties
concerned to attempt to arrive at an amicable settlement. The relevant body has a period of three weeks in which to do this. If a settlement is not possible, the body against whose decision the student has
appealed (the respondent) will submit a statement of defence. The
body is entitled to request a respite in order to compile that statement of defence.
The body in question is entitled to request a postponement, which
will enable it to put together a statement of defense. The Chairman of
the Examination Appeals Board shall reach a decision regarding that
request. An exchange of documents may then take place. The parties
will be kept up to date by the Secretary.
5. The session
In the event that it is not possible to arrive at an amicable settlement,
the appeal submitted by the appellant will then be processed by the
Examination Appeals Board. In the majority of cases, the parties are
invited to attend a session of the Examination Appeals Board. The parties will be informed of the date and time of that session. The Parties
are always entitled to be assisted by legal counsel or to be represen70
Appendix 5
ted by a duly authorised third party. They are also entitled to bring
witnesses and experts along to the session. At the request of one of
the parties, the Chairman may decide to hold the session, or part of
the session, behind closed doors. The names of the witnesses and
experts must be submitted to the Secretary, no later than four school
working days before the start of the session of the Examination Appeals Board. If witnesses are to appear on behalf of one of the parties,
the other party must be informed of this at least two working days in
advance and that party shall also be entitled to put forward witnesses
of its own.
Furthermore, it is possible for the appellant to submit a statement of
reply, after which the respondent can once again respond by submitting a rejoinder.
All documents will be available for viewing three days in advance of
the session of the Examination Appeals Board, unless they are of a
highly personal nature (to be determined by the Chairman). They may
be viewed upon application to the Secretary.
The Board may also summon witnesses or experts itself. At the session, each one of the parties will receive an opportunity to explain its
stance once again.
Finally, the parties will be entitled to amend the contents of the appeal, the statement of defence, the statement of reply or the rejoinder, along with the grounds on which these are based, up to the closure of the session, unless the counterparty would be unreasonably
disadvantaged as a result of this.
The Examination Appeals Board is entitled to merge together related
cases, or to subdivide cases that are related to one another.
6.Decisions
The Examination Appeals Board shall confer and shall issue its decision
in the Board's chamber within ten weeks of the date on which the notice of appeal was submitted. The Chairman of the Examination Appeals
Board shall detail the grounds that apply in the event that that period is
extended. This part of the session will not take place in public.
71
Appendix 5
A written decision will usually follow within a period of two to three
weeks. That period may be extended. The decision will be backed up
by documentary evidence and by the items raised during the hearing.
The decision rendered by the Board may read as follows:
a. All or part of the judicial appeal is well-founded:
The relevant decision is set aside, either partially or in full. The
Board may require the respondent to take a new decision, taking
into account the decision of the Board. In some cases, a deadline
for the above will be imposed in the decision.
b. The appeal is unfounded:
the disputed decision will remain in force;
c. The appeal is inadmissible:
As such, the judicial appeal will be rejected. The Examination Appeals Board will not proceed to examine the details of the case.
ARTICLE 6
The fast-track procedure
In urgent cases, the appellant may request provisional relief whilst awaiting the decision of the Board with regard to the principal appeal. Any
request of this nature must be submitted in writing and be accompanied
by relevant reasons. The Chairman will arrive at a decision once he/she
has heard the relevant body or examiner concerned, or has requested the
said body or examiner to appear at the very least.
Having evaluated a request, the Chairman of the Examinations Appeals
Board will issue a written decision as quickly as possible.
ARTICLE 7
Final stipulation
These regulations entered into force on 1 September 2013. On this date,
the existing regulations relating to the Examinations Appeals Board

applicable, a follow-up discussion will take place no later than five
working days before the relevant resit.

ARTICLE 2
Exceptions
In cases not provided for in the Regulations for the Exam Committee for
the 21+ Exam, the NT2 Exam and Deficiencies Exam, or in cases in which
application of the rules from the Regulations for the Exam Committee for
the 21+ Exam, the NT2 Exam and Deficiencies Exam would result in a
situation that would be grossly unfair, the (Chairman of the) Exam
Committee for the 21+ Exam, the NT2 Exam and Deficiencies Exam or the
Director of Education and Development will decide.
The following will be understood by the term “grossly unfair” at the very
least:
1. Special circumstances, such as those stated in Article 3.1, on the
grounds of which the Exam Committee for the 21+ Exam, the NT2
Exam and the Deficiences Exam, or the Director of Education and
Development, may decide to make appropriate provisions;
2. In situations in which applicants (that fall under the 21+ Exam) receive
a negative binding study recommendation entailing their debarment
from their chosen programme, it will be possible for provisions to be
made in relation to the components that are missing;
3. Other “grossly unfair” situations.
ARTICLE 3
Special circumstances
The circumstances set out in the WHW will be deemed to be special circumstances.
1. Special personal circumstances

question

In such cases, the sporting activities in question must be at a national
or international level and involve a substantial amount of time. The
applicant in question must form part of the national team of a sports

group provisions that Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences has

of Education and Development will also be able to provide the student
in question with support in circumstances other than those named
(hardship clause).
