With an application for a Force Majeure Allowance you may need to submit proof. The evidence 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
Submit a recent statement from your physician or (student) psychologist about the period of your circumstances. If necessary, you can use the standard model for a medical certificate.
When you are prolonged or chronically ill, you can contact the student counsellor to discuss the possibility of an extended year performance grant or study advance from DUO. This can be done next to your application for a force majeure allowance. - Pregnancy and delivery
Submit a recent medical certificate or birth certificate.
We assume that the study delay does not exceed 4 months. However, if the delay does exceed 4 months, you will have to substantiate the cause and period of the delay with a medical certificate. - A physical, sensory or other functional disorder
Submit a recent certificate of your physician or (student) psychologist for the period of your circumstances. If necessary, you can use the standard model for a medical certificate.
Contact the student counsellor to discuss the possibility of an extended year performance grant or study advance. This can be done next to your application for a force majeure allowance. - Illness or death of your partner, parents, children, brother or sister
With a partner we mean your spouse or the person with whom an unmarried student cohabitates as a life partner.
Submit, if possible, a medical certificate which indicates the delayed period. In case of death, you need to hand in a death certificate. - Divorce parents
Submit, if possible, a divorce statement. - Relationship problems
Submit, if possible, a supporting statement. - Housing or social problems
Submit, if possible, a supporting statement. - Problem adapting to Dutch culture and customs
Submit, if possible, a supporting statement. - An insufficient feasible programme
Submit a detailed explanation of the cause and the period of the study delay. Indicate which arrangements you made with your educational programme to limit the delay. Add any additional supporting documents.
Your report will be sent to the educational programme and you will receive their reaction to your report. If you have problems with the procedure, please contact a student counsellor to discuss it.
