This guide describes the procedure of applying for facilities and regulations for students with personal circumstances that affect their study.
Step 1: Reporting Personal circumstances
- Report your personal circumstances. Prospective students can also use the online form to disclose personal circumstances. Disclosure is necessary if you want to use the facilities and arrangements.
- Make an appointment with your study adviser if you want to request a facility.
Study delay
- In case of (threatening) study delay due to personal circumstances make an appointment with the study adviser of your programme as soon as possible.
- Discuss the consequences for your study planning and the possibilities for study progress with the study adviser.
- Discuss financial implications and additional support with the student counsellor.
Step 2: Interview with the study adviser
- An intake with the study adviser of your educational programme follows.
- Indicate what limitations you experience based on your experiences so far and what the consequences are.
- Indicate what support, facilities or adjustments you desire.
- If intensive support is needed make an appointment for an exploratory discussion at least 6 months before the start of your studies. This includes facilities regarding the accessibility of buildings.
Step 3: submitting a statement
An official statement is required to justify your application for facilities and regulations for personal reasons:
- for medical reasons: a medical certificate from a GP.
- in case of dyslexia: a dyslexia statement signed by a psychologist or remedial education specialist.
Submit your statement of evidence to the student adviser of your programme.
If you apply for a (financial) regulation during your studies, the statement will have to be submitted during the application.
(we use the criteria of Stichting Dyslexie Nederland (Dutch) 
)
Step 4: determining and applying facilities
- Discuss with the study adviser the feasibility of the education you wish to follow, and which facilities and adjustments are possible, necessary and effective.
- The study adviser will advise and assist you in applying for educational adjustments and/or examination facilities. Upon your request for facilities, the study adviser decides on behalf of the faculty dean for how long and for what provision you qualify.
- The Examination Board will assess your request for changes in your education (customization).
- A decision is issued: you get the facility/adjustment or a rejection. If your request is rejected, you have the right to appeal.
Step 5: Realization of facilities
- The examination office regulates the practical organization of your assigned examination facilities.
Step 6: Evaluation and revision
- Usually, a facility is issued for one academic year.
- You must apply for a new request every year.
- If your situation changes, report it to your study advisor, for example in case of study delay or new problems.
