The legal framework of the Examination Board is given by Dutch Law, in particular the Dutch Higher Education and Research Act (Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek- WHW). 

The Examination Board has many different tasks. Generally the following components can be discerned:

  • A supervisory responsibility with regard to the final exams, examinations and tests (correctly applying examination regulations, mediation in appeals, quality assurance).
  • enforcing regulations (guidelines for examiners, regulations regarding fraud, assessment of exams, and compensation rules);
  • granting exemptions from the rules in individual cases (course exemptions, additional opportunities for examination, granting lenience with reference to Binding Study Advice);
  • advisory tasks (periodic advice with reference to Binding Study Advice, advice to the dean with reference to the Teaching and Examination Regulations)

 

Upon request, the Examination Board can grant exemptions from the regulations in certain cases. The following requests are made most frequently. Please read the applicable policy on the specific request type before submitting your request.
