- Questions & Answers
According to the “enrolment decision” in the student statute of WUR, you are allowed to re-enrol during the academic year.
You can re-enrol on 1 September, 1 November, 1 January, 1 February, 1 March, 1 May and 1 July.
For whom?
For all Bachelor’s and Master’s students who have been enrolled at Wageningen University for at least one month and who want to re-enrol in the same programme.
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
If you decide to temporarily terminate your enrolment during the academic year, first consider the advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
You do not have to pay tuition fees for the months that you are not enrolled. Exception: you will not receive a tuition fee refund if you deregister on 1 July or 1 August.
Disadvantages
Your WUR account will be closed
Be aware that after deregistration you are no longer a student at Wageningen University. This means you no longer have access to Brightspace and your WUR account will be closed. You will also no longer receive emails from your study adviser or from SSC. In addition, you may no longer follow courses or receive guidance from lecturers.
Grades not yet registered
If you have taken an exam or submitted a paper for which the grade has not yet been registered, you may still request deregistration. However, this is only possible if the exam date or submission date of the paper falls within the month that you are still enrolled.
Registration for future courses, exams and resits will be cancelled
See also “How and when (including deadlines)” for how to proceed.
Housing
If you rent a student room, for example from Idealis, you may have to leave it within a certain period. Always check your rental contract before deregistering.
Student loan and/or public transport student travel product
Deregistration has consequences for your student loan via DUO and the student travel product on your OV-chipkaart. During the period that you are not enrolled you are not entitled to student finance. If you make use of this, go to the DUO website (in Dutch) and stop it.
For non-EEA students: Residence permit
If you deregister at Wageningen University, we are obliged to inform the IND that you are no longer enrolled. This means that your residence permit for the Netherlands, based on study, is no longer valid from the day your enrolment ends, regardless of the expiry date on your residence permit. You must leave the Netherlands within one month after the end date of your enrolment.
Is your situation not listed?
Then check with the student counsellors to see whether interim deregistration may have consequences for you.
For non-EU students
For non-EU students, temporary deregistration at Wageningen University has additional consequences.
Therefore, it is necessary to contact SSC for deregistration. Depending on your plans and possible return to the Netherlands, SSC can advise you, mainly regarding legal residence.
Residence permit
If you deregister at Wageningen University, we are obliged to inform the IND that you are no longer enrolled. This means that your residence permit for the Netherlands, based on study, is no longer valid from the day your enrolment ends, regardless of the expiry date on your residence permit. You must leave the Netherlands within one month after the end date of your enrolment.
Please note that if you want to re-enrol, we must apply for a new residence permit for you.
This process takes at least 60 days and requires full payment of the invoice (tuition fees, 12 months living allowance and additional costs) before the application can be submitted to the IND. For more information, go to Residence permit current students.
How and when? (including deadlines)
Terminating enrolment
The request for deregistration must be submitted via www.studielink.nl.
The enrolment will be terminated as of the 1st day of the month following the month in which the Student Service Centre received the request. You cannot terminate enrolment retroactively. If you submit a deregistration request on 1 April (for example), then enrolment will be terminated as of 1 May.
Registrations for courses, exams and resits
Students who were registered for courses, exams or resits before deregistering as a student will be deregistered from all courses, exams and resits taking place after the date of deregistration.
This means that after re-enrolment you must register again for courses, exams or resits!
Therefore, we have set deadlines for re-enrolment as a student so that you are always enrolled in time to (re)register for courses, exams or resits.
Re-enrolment during the academic year – for Dutch, EU and non-EU students
Contact SSC to be re-enrolled. We will then send you instructions by email on how to register via our application portal. Re-enrolment during the academic year is not possible via Studielink.
To be able to register for courses and/or (re)exams on time, there are enrolment deadlines per period. This means that before the deadline you must have completed the application via the portal and met the payment requirements.
