Changes to procedure for registration and deregistration written examinations

From the new academic year (2012-2013) there will be a number of changes with regard to the registration and deregistration for written examinations:

  • In order to take an examination, you need to register for each examination (also mid-term examinations) separately;
  • Registering and deregistering is possible from 40 to 14 days before the examination;
  • You will no longer receive a general announcement/reminder by email about your registration for examinations;
  • Deregistration is only possible via Osiris and up to and including the day before the examination.


Registering for examinations
From the new academic year you can register for all written examinations mentioned on the examination timetable, and for any examinations you take in the interim.

Because the registration is linked to an examination date, the period for which you can register also differs. For each examination you can enrol via Osiris from 40 days before the examination, up to 14 days before the examination. It will still be possible to register for all examinations in the regular examination weeks in one go, because the registrations periods partly overlap; see for example below. Between 30 September and 15 October you can therefore register for all examinations in the regular examination weeks.

Example: for the next year the regular examination weeks of quarter 1 are week 44 and 45. The first examination day is Monday 29 October. Registration for examinations on this day is possible from 19 September up to and including 15 October; for an examination on the last day, Friday 9 November, registration is possible from 30 September up to and including 26 October.


This means that there will no longer be any fixed registration and deregistration periods per module. Therefore you will no longer receive any general announcement and reminder for registration for examinations.

Deregistration examinations
If you registered and would like to deregister as yet, from the new academic year 2012-2013 you can do this yourself via Osiris, up to the day before the examination (i.e. until 24:00 of the day before the day of the examination).

Registration and deregistration partial examinations
For registration and deregistration of partial examinations the procedure remains unchanged for the time being. As soon as the procedure for these changes, you will be informed by email.
