1. All of the various enrollment and payment conditions must have been met before 1 September 2016.
2. To be able to meet all of these conditions, applicants must submit their applications via Studielink before August 1, 2016.
For information with regard to the special categories for which the 31 July application deadline does not automatically apply, see the rele-vant provisions in Articles 1.5 and 1.6.
3. Relevant work
If a Bachelor programme or associate degree programme imposes an enrollment condition that requires an applicant ‘to carry out relevant work’, the Student Handbook for the institute of which the program-me in question forms part will state the requireprogram-ments to be program-met by the work in question, which units of study the work comprises and what the study load is.
If it is possible to gain an exemption from the obligation to have relevant work by performing alternative tasks, the Student Handbook must state the conditions under which this is possible.
4. Enrollment during the course of the academic year is possible in three situations:
a. the Bachelor programme or associate degree programme has a standard intake opportunity in February. In this case, the regula-tions on study programme checks that are subject to alternative deadlines will apply;
b. the student already has an active enrollment with Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences in the academic year in question and wants to change (transfer/switch) from one programme or form or programme to another (see Article 1.6.3);
c. the student already has an active enrollment with a different institution for higher education for that academic year and wants to transfer to a Bachelor programme or associate degree
programme at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (see Article 1.6.3).
5. Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences has procedural rules in place for enrollment.
Applicants will be notified in writing of these rules in the relevant programme brochure.
a. the student will receive a notification about the payment of tuition fees via Studielink;
b. the student pays his/her tuition fees via the digital direct order in Studielink (to be confirmed by themselves or their parents/
guardians or a third party), a guarantee from their employer or proof of paid tuition fees;
c. the student will always be jointly and severally liable for the pay-ment of tuition fees, even in a situation in which the employer has issued a letter of guarantee;
d. enrollment will only be effected once proof has been submitted, demonstrating that the tuition fees or examination fees have been paid within the period of time alloted for this purpose.
e. When a debt is accrued at Rotterdam University of Applied Sci-ence, the policy is that the debts must be repaid during the course of the current academic year. Applicants will not be able to enroll (or re-enroll) if an outstanding debt has not been repaid.
6. Students who are enrolled will receive proof of enrollment (a student card) from Rotterdam. The proof of enrollment will state that the Stu-dent Handbook applies to the legal relationship between the stuStu-dent in question and Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
7. enrollment as an external student will only be possible if the Executive Board believes that the nature or importance of the education does not oppose this.
8. Applicants will submit enrollment requests via Studielink.
Applicants applying for a place on certain Bachelor programmes will be required to have successfully completed an admissions exam prior to enrollment.
9. The following rules will apply for anyone who is enrolled as a student at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences in a specific academic year and who wishes to continue his/her enrollment (degree programme, including form of programme) in the (new) academic year following the academic year in question (a student of this nature is also referred to as a ‘re-enrollment student):
a. the student will submit a re-enrollment request via Studielink.
This request must be submitted via Studielink before 1 Septem-ber, except where legislation stipulates otherwise;
b. the student will receive a notification about the payment of tuition fees via Studielink;

d. the student will always be jointly and severally liable for the pay-ment of tuition fees, even in a situation in which the employer has issued a letter of guarantee;
e. When debts are accrued at Rotterdam University of Applied Sci-ence, the policy is that the debt in question must be paid during the course of the academic year in question; it will not be possible to enroll for the new academic year if the debt outstanding has not been paid in full;
f. the student will be enrolled once the tuition fees due have been paid in full (directly or via a direct debit mandate) or once the stu-dent has submitted proof evidencing his/her payment of tuition fees to another institution for higher education. Students must ensure in all cases that the payment of tuition fees is in order before 1 September 2016;
g. Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences reports the enrollment to the DUO in Groningen;
