Seek help in case of study delay due to illness, pregnancy, or a board position.

In case of study delay due to (family) circumstances, illness, pregnancy, a board position or for other reasons, please contact your academic advisor as soon as possible for guidance and planning your study.

You may be eligible for financial support. You can find information and the conditions on the webpage of the Student Support Regulation.
