Need-to-know about de-enrolment

You have to make a de-enrolment request in Studielink.

If you want to de-enrol immediately after graduation, make your de-enrolment request in the month of graduation. Following your de-enrolment request, you will be de-enrolled as of the first day of the month
You can never be de-enrolled with retrospective effect.
Your de-enrolment request in June, July or August will not be accepted, you don’t have the right to get repayed the tuition fee for those months.
If you request for de-enrolment on 1 December or 1 February, and you have paid by digital authorisation in instalments, you still need to pay a small amount of tuition fee as 1 instalment covers 2.4 months and 2 instalments cover 4.8 months. More information can be found on our website about the refund.
If you are leaving The Netherlands don't forget to de-register at the municipality you are registered.

Pre-master's students

If you are a pre-master's student you cannot come back to complete this pre-master's after de-enrolment. For more information click here. Also, you have no right to a refund in case you terminate your enrolment prematurely.

After de-enrolment

Once you de-enrol yourself, you will receive an email from the IT Desk (tap-monitor-acc@utwente.nl) regarding the expiration of your student account. At the end of the month of your de-enrolment, your student account and email will be withdrawn. (For example, if you are de-enrolled by the 1st of December, your account will be withdrawn on the 30th of December) It is important to save all important details from your email account before the account expires.
When you are no longer registered at the University of Twente, you are no longer entitled to a student grant from DUO. This applies to the lending right, the right to public transport and possibly a supplementary grant. In addition to de-registration via Studielink, you must sign off for student finance yourself via My DUO. If you did receive student finance in a certain month, but it turned out that you were not registered, a debt will follow which DUO will ask you to repay in the short term. If you have any further questions about this, please contact DUO.
