Students charter

As every institute for higher education in the Netherlands, the University of Twente also holds a Students’ Charter. The Students’ Charter is legally based in art. 7.59 of the Dutch Higher Education and Research Act (WHW). The Dutch text of the Students’ Charter is law-making. This means that in case of problems or conflicts you can appeal to the content of the Dutch text of the Students’ Charter (or Studentenstatuut). The Students’ Charter contains a programme-specific section (the OSS) and an institute-specific section.

If you would like to have a printed version of the Charter, it is available on request from the Red Desk: the information desk of the Student Counselling Service.

The institute-specific section of the Charter is at all times available in its most up-to-date form on the website http://www.utwente.nl/studentenbalie/regelingen_statuut/charter/

For the programme-specific section of the Charter (OSS), which contains the Teaching and Examination Regulation (OER / TER), please refer to the regulations and forms section on the website of your programme: http://www.utwente.nl/ewi/en/education.

Before September 2010 the TER was called EER (education and examination regulations). With this alteration, the same name is applied throughout the 3TU universities and therefore study programmes.
