Deans of students

You can contact the Dean of Students for guidance and advice on the following subjects:

• Enrollment, registration
• Deregistration
• Tuition fees
• Study problems
• Study delay (particularly for international students who are required to obtain 50% of their program yearly, in order to keep their visa)
• Financial support
• Excellence scholarship
• Legal position (rights and duties)
• Social and personal facilities
• Pregnancy and studying with children
• Complaints, objection and appeal procedures
• Diversity
• Facilities for disabled students

Please note that you are required to report special circumstances, which (might) cause study delay, within two months at the Dean of Students.

This is important, because the Dean of Students advises the Examination Board about student requests like extra exam opportunities or postponing deadlines; advises the Executive Board about student requests for financial support or matters of enrollment, tuition fees etc.

If a problem is strictly related to your educational program, (the context of) the subject matter or the organization of education, it is better to first contact a lecturer or an education coordinator, for example, your schedule, exemptions, exams and exam rules, resits, electives etc.

If you want extra time or other examination facilities because of an illness or impairment, you can apply online on a form on the webpage special examination arrangements.

Before contacting a Dean of Students, see if you can find the answer yourself via Ask Student Desk or in our information for students. If not, please send a short and concise  e-mail with your question or problem to studentendecaan@tilburguniversity.edu.  Always include your 7-digit student number in your e-mail.

If you prefer a personal meeting or if the Dean of Students finds it necessary to speak to you in person, you will receive a link to schedule an appointment online.

Please note: If you want extra time or other examination facilities because of an illness or impairment, you do not need to make an appointment! You can apply online on a form on the webpage special examination arrangements.

Read here if you have to report special circumstances and if you have to do so with a Dean of Students or someone else.
