Proclamation code & meaning

You can download your transcript of records in the Student SelfService after deliberation by your faculty. Not sure how to do this? Have a look at the manual.

The transcript of records holds a proclamation code. This code is your only official result. 

In case you did not pass all of your exams in the first exam period, you will be enrolled automatically in the second exam period. You only need to register yourself for oral exams (i.e. via Canvas). This will be mentioned on the exam schedules.

Guest & Erasmus students

Guest students (students of another universities and colleges) and Erasmus students can only consult their exam results in the Student SelfService. A transcript of records will not be available for them.

• Erasmus students will receive an e-mail from the Student Administration Center with a PDF with their results. These results will be scaled to the grading system that is used by their home university in a later stage. 
• Guest students will receive their exam results via their home university/college.

Note: The following proclamation codes are granted according to the provisions of the Teaching and Examination Regulations.

You will be subjected to binding conditions in the next academic year because you failed to obtain at least 60% of the credits taken up. Next year you must obtain 75% of the credits when you re-enrol for the same programme under a diploma contract.
