With an application for a Force Majeure Allowance you may need to submit proof. Which evidence is required depends on the circumstances for which you apply.
This evidence is needed in case of an application for a force majeure allowance based on:
- Illness and psychological problems
When you are ling-term or chronically ill, you first need to contact the student counsellor to discuss the possibility of an extended year performance grant or study advance. If you still experience study delay after that extended year or when you are not eligible for such an extended year, you can apply for a force majeure allowance.
Submit: a certificate of your physician or (student) psychologist.
If necessary, you can use the standard model for a medical certificate. - Pregnancy and delivery
