The formal procedure for non-participation in a test due to force majeure is described in article 5.8 of the Education and Examination Regulations (EER) and article 2.4 of the Rules and Regulations.

Students must inform the course coordinator and the academic counsellor via email as soon as possible if they are not able to participate in a test, final examination, or resit of a course due to illness or other forms of force majeure. This email must include the student’s name, student number, course name and code, date, and time of the test as well as the reason for absence. If students want to participate in the resit examination (or a supplementary/alternative test), they need to contact the academic counsellor to submit an official request to the Board of Examiners (BoE). This request is only taken into consideration if the absence for the original examination is correctly reported. The request should be supported by evidence of the force majeure, if available.

The academic counsellor informs the course coordinator when an additional testing possibility is granted.

Please note: this procedure only applies in case the student is not able to participate in a test or final examination. If the student is not able to participate in another compulsory education component of a course, they should contact the course coordinator.
