Application and enrolment

You may enrol in two (or more) degree programmes simultaneously. Note that, if you do so, you must have paid the tuition fees before the start of each programme. Below, we describe three possible scenarios.

Before commencing the academic year, you must arrange digital authorisation via Studielink for tuition fee payment to the programme you enrolled in first. Procedures for enrolling in an additional degree programme at Hanze UAS are the same as for the first, via Studielink. No additional action is required on your part as regards payment; this will be arranged by the Student Administration and Financial Administration. If the tuition fee payable for the first programme you enrolled in is lower than that for the second (for example, in the case of part-time vs. full-time study), you must pay the difference. You will be billed for this amount.

If your first enrolment is at another university or university of applied sciences and you pay the statutory tuition fee there, you must pay that entire fee to the other institution. You can enrol in a second programme at Hanze UAS from the first day of the month after you have paid the statutory tuition fee at the other institution where you enrolled first. You must provide confirmation of this in the form of a tuition fee payment receipt issued by the other institution. Present this document to the Student Administration at Hanze UAS before the start of your studies here. If the tuition fee payable for your first enrolment at the other institution is lower than that for the second at Hanze UAS (for example in the case of part-time vs. full-time study), you must pay the difference. You will be billed for this amount. If you are enrolled at another institution and pay the institutional tuition fee, then you must also pay a tuition fee at Hanze UAS. This is either the institutional or the statutory rate, depending on your circumstances.

You may have enrolled in a degree programme at Hanze UAS first and at another institution subsequently. If you qualify for the statutory tuition fee rate at both institutions, you can request a tuition fee payment receipt from the Student Administration at Hanze UAS to present to the other institution. If, however, you pay the statutory tuition fee at Hanze UAS, but have to pay the institutional rate at the other institution, you will also be subject to pay the full or partial tuition fee at the other institution. If you pay the institutional tuition fee at Hanze UAS, you will also be subject to pay a tuition fee at the other institution where you are enrolled, regardless of whether you qualify for the statutory or the institutional rate.

Some degree programmes at Hanze UAS allow students to enrol during term time. If you interrupted your studies or wish to transfer to a different programme or institution, contact the department to which you are seeking admission first. They can advise you on when to enrol. It is not possible to enrol with retroactive effect.  

Students who enrol during term time are subject to the same enrolment requirements as students who commence in September: all enrolment and payment requirements must be fulfilled before you can start the programme. A proof of enrolment will be sent to you as soon as you have fulfilled all the enrolment and payment requirements.

The tuition fee is calculated from the month you commence the programme, with 1/12th of the fee charged for each month you are enrolled. Thus, if you enrol in February, you pay 7/12th of the annual tuition fee. The payment options are the same as if you enrol starting from 1 September, with the difference that, if you opt to pay in instalments, the first instalment will be substantially higher than the rest.

PLEASE NOTE: you must fulfil the enrolment requirements before commencing your studies at Hanze UAS. If you do not, your enrolment will be invalid.

If you applied for enrolment and have already fulfilled all the payment and other requirements, but then change your mind, you can cancel your enrolment via Studielink, provided you do so before the first day of the month in which you were scheduled to start the programme. If you cancel your enrolment after this date, you will in any case be subject to pay a minimum of one month's tuition fee. The exact amount depends on when your withdrawal is received. Also note that cancelling your enrolment can have major consequences for your student finance and student travel product. You are therefore advised to talk to a student counsellor, the International Service Desk at Hanze UAS or the Dutch Education Executive Agency (DUO) before making this decision.
