UT Assembly of Examination Boards Chairs

The aims of the UT Assembly of Examination Boards Chairs
  • Equal treatment for students
  • Similar interpretation of rules; harmonization
  • Exchange of knowledge, experiences, and tools
  • Professionalization of the Examination Board members  

An Examination Boards assembly (previously under the name "Platform Examination Board Chairs) has been active at the UT for several years. This platform consists of the chairs of all UT's Examination Boards. 
Over the years, the added value of this assembly has proven itself. To mention a few examples: during the Corona pandemic, working methods for testing and examining were discussed, joint guidelines were drawn up and joint standpoints were communicated to relevant bodies. In earlier periods a handout Annual Report (Dutch) was issued and suggestions (handout) have been drawn up for websites for EB's to inform staff and students. 
Joint initiatives were developed, for example, the joint Rules of order for written tests was drawn up in 2018 to achieve greater uniformity in the regulations for the taking of written tests.
The Assembly can be instrumental in issuing signals to the Executive Board or expressing needs that are shared by several Examination Boards. During the meetings, cases submitted by members are discussed and, when necessary, working groups are formed to find out and prepare certain topics to present to the members. Examination Boards operate independently and are not obliged to adopt proposed practices, but discussing them together can contribute to more knowledge development and, where relevant, harmonization of rules and their implementation.



The Assembly is currently led by Marleen Groenier - Chair Examination Board Bachelor Technical Medicine, faculty Science & Technology.
Anno study year 2024/25 there is a vacancy for a duo chair-person. 
The Assembly is supported by Margriet Lindemann - Teammanager Timescheduling & Exam Office CES and Helma Vlas - Educational advisor CELT, coordinator Senior University Examination Qualification trajectory 

A MS Team Channel is used to exchange and archive information, such as the agenda's and minutes of the meetings.
