If, due to special circumstances, you cannot or have not been able to take part in the examination opportunities offered, this will no longer entitle you to a replacement examination: this is why there are two examination opportunities per year. If you are unable to take one opportunity, you will make use of the other opportunity. Special circumstances such as illness or sudden problems in the personal sphere no longer lead to a replacement exam. Keep this in mind when planning your exams!
In order to invoke the hardship clause, there must be demonstrable, unforeseen circumstances, as a result of which application of the stated rule would lead to an unfairness of a predominant nature in the individual case. Please note that recourse to the hardship clause will be honoured in very exceptional cases. You can use this form for a request to the Examination Board.
If there are special personal circumstances or if you have a chronic illness, you will have to adjust your study planning. The education coordinator can help you with this.
The regulation for the one-off extra opportunity (the "last course regulation" under Section 15.4 Bachelor's EER or Section 4.15 Master's EER) simply remains in place.
Studying abroad and examinations in Tilburg
Tilburg Law School considers it important that students study abroad for a semester without falling behind. That is why students who go on exchange and cannot participate in examinations in Tilburg because of their study abroad, may be eligible for a replacement examination for the missed opportunity. However, this requires that the student has participated in all possible previous opportunities of the course in question: at least a 4 must have been obtained at the last opportunity. Because the replacement opportunity is offered to students who have studied abroad in order to avoid possible delays, requests for replacement opportunities for examinations that have already been passed will be rejected.
