Important information

• In May at the earliest, you will receive a message from Studielink about the amount of the tuition fee for the coming academic year and you can then arrange its payment. Pre-Master’s students can often only arrange this in August.
• If your study programme starts on 1 September, you need to ensure that payment of the tuition fee is arranged by 31 August at the latest. If your start date is 1 February, the payment deadline is 31 January.
• Your direct debit authorisation will be renewed every academic year, until you terminate your ernrolment in Studielink.
• The fact that you have arranged payment of the tuition fee does not always automatically means that your enrolment has been completed. You can check the status of your enrolment in in SISExternal link.
• If you cancel your enrolment in Studielink prior to 31 August, you will not have to pay any tuition fee. Any digital direct debit authorisation you issued will then be cancelled and any excess tuition fee you paid will be automatically refunded.
