Article 37 Binding Study Advice (BSA)<br />
30<br />
Announcement: As from September <strong>2013</strong> the BSA norm will be raised for all<br />
bachelors programmes from 34 credits to 47 credits. For all bachelors programmes,<br />
with the exception <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Bachelor</strong>s in Econometrics <strong>and</strong> Operations Research, at<br />
least one QM course must be passed.<br />
1. Definition<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> the first year <strong>of</strong> enrolment in any study programme <strong>of</strong> the first-year<br />
<strong>Bachelor</strong>’s exam, the SBE Board will advise each student on his/her continuation in<br />
the study programme. Students who have not met the requirements <strong>of</strong> the first-year<br />
<strong>Bachelor</strong>’s exam at the end <strong>of</strong> the first year <strong>of</strong> enrolment will also be advised during<br />
or at the end <strong>of</strong> the second year <strong>of</strong> enrolment.<br />
2. Conditions<br />
Students who do not meet the requirements for conditional admission as stated in<br />
article 38 <strong>of</strong> these regulations by the end <strong>of</strong> their first year <strong>of</strong> enrolment at the SBE,<br />
<strong>and</strong> students who do not meet all requirements for the first-year <strong>Bachelor</strong>’s exam at<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> their second year <strong>of</strong> enrolment at the SBE, will receive a negative binding<br />
study advice from the Dean on behalf <strong>of</strong> the SBE Board. Before establishing the<br />
binding advice, the personal circumstances <strong>of</strong> the student <strong>and</strong> their views will be<br />
taken into account by the Board <strong>of</strong> Examiners on behalf <strong>of</strong> the SBE Board. The<br />
student will be given the opportunity to share their views during a hearing.<br />
3. Warning<br />
Students affected by article 39 <strong>of</strong> these regulations will receive a warning if their<br />
study results make this necessary.<br />
4. Consequences<br />
A negative binding study advice leads to exclusion from the concerning study<br />
programme for a period <strong>of</strong> six (6) years.<br />
5. Exception switchers<br />
- If a student starts in, or switches to another, first-year <strong>Bachelor</strong>’s programme<br />
provided by the SBE, the student must obtain at least 47 new credits within<br />
the first year programme. The credits for granted exemptions will not be taken<br />
into account with respect to the binding study advice norm at the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first year bachelor programme. Within the total amount <strong>of</strong> credits obtained, the<br />
exemptions included, at least 6.5 credits have to be obtained within the<br />
courses ‘Quantitative Methods 1’ <strong>and</strong> ‘Quantitative Methods 2’, with the<br />
exception <strong>of</strong> the study programmes Econometrics <strong>and</strong> Operations Research.<br />
- Students who need less than 47 credits in order to meet the requirements for<br />
the first-year <strong>Bachelor</strong>’s exam have to meet these requirements before the end<br />
<strong>of</strong> the academic year.
