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.
