The Examination Board does not usually meet with students in person.

Requests should be motivated and accompanied by all relevant documentation (such as a recent version of your Osiris study progress overview ("dossieroverzicht"). In the event that you are asked to hand in a (certified copy of a) certificate, transcript or diploma, you still have to send/show this document in its original form to the Examination Board for verification. These kind of documents will not be accepted in a digital form. See Contact Information for more details.

For more complicated requests, where multiple people are involved in the decision making process, or in the busy month of August, it might take longer than four weeks to come to a decision. We ask for your understanding. It is important to submit your request in time.
At the request of the student, the Examination Board may, under certain conditions, grant an exemption from a bachelor's degree course based on previous education. Exemptions have to be requested as soon as possible after the start of your studies at RSM, but before 15 October of your first year. Within the master and premaster programmes no exemptions will be granted. See the section Requests for more information.

In case you have a temporary or structural functional limitation (e.g. broken limb, dyslexia, chronic illness), you may be allowed to make use of extra facilities within reasonable limits for the duration of this functional impairment. See Requests for more information.
In case you are ill or are prevented from taking the exam as a result of personal circumstances, you are advised to consult the student adviser.

It is possible to follow a minor from another faculty or university and let it count towards the 'Elective space' for the bachelor programme. If you wish to do a minor offered at another faculty/university, you need the approval of the Examination Board. Please include course description, number of ects, in which bachelor year the minor is offered, how long the minor lasts, and in which language the minor is offered. You should take into account that every university has its own minor system and its own requirements. It is your own responsibility to look into this. Any questions, you may have regarding this topic, please contact the Programme Manager bachelor 2 & 3 or the student advisers.
For further information about minors at the EUR, we also refer you to www.eur.nl/english/minor.
