BSA HEARING
The programme management will send its intended Binding Study Advice (BSA) to its first-year students per e-mail in the first week of August 2026 (no later than 10 August). If you feel you have wrongfully received a negative binding recommendation, you can request to be heard by the programme board. The hearing will take place on Friday 21 August.
To make use of this opportunity, you need to apply within 5 working days after receiving the BSA, by sending an email to the study advisers (studyadviser-ee@utwente.nl). Please use “BSA Hearing request” as subject, mention your name and student number and attach a letter in which you substantiate why you are fit for the programme while not having obtained sufficient credits.
To discuss the content of your letter, prepare you for your hearing and learn more details about it, please schedule a meeting with the study adviser. In case of absence of Ellen Wassink-Kamp, a meeting can be scheduled with Daphne Boere.
A personal invite with exact date and location of the hearing will be sent to you a couple of days in advance. As soon as possible after the hearing you will be informed by the programme board about her final decision.
Alternatively: in case it is possible to get a positive BSA by making use of the "Compensation 5" rule, EER article B.B2, you are obliged to make use of this instead of asking for a hearing. To obtain a positive BSA, you must then send the completed and signed form to the bachelor coordinator (bachelor-ee@utwente.nl) no later than 18 August.
