3. A condition for taking course examinations is the compliance with the minimum
requirements for participation in the group meetings as laid down in article 4 of
section 5.2.

assesment. These guidelines will be included in the programme’s Prospectus or in the
manual pertaining to the relevant part.
5. Students with a functional disability may request permission from the Board of
Examiners to take the tests in a manner that is, as far as is possible, in keeping with
their handicap. The Board of Examiners can ask for expert advice before arriving at a
decision.
6. During written examinations students are not allowed to carry electronic devices
other than those specified in the course manual. The exam will be declared invalid if
the student does not conform to this regulation. If a student is discovered to be using
a cellular phone or an electronic agenda during the examination, the fraud regulation
will be applied.
Article 3.4 Oral Tests
1. Oral tests are permitted only in special cases and can be conducted only if the
examiner has received approval by the Board of Examiners.
2. Oral tests are not given to more than one person at the time.
3. An oral test is administered by two examiners, unless the Board of Examiners has
decided otherwise.
4. Administering an oral test is done publicly, unless the Board of Examiners or the
relevant examiner has decided otherwise in a special case, or if the student has raised
objections to this.
Article 3.5 Attendance at Tutorial Group Meetings
1. The Board of Examiners lays down the minimum of tutorial group meetings a student
is required to attend in the rules and regulations and determines how the actual
attendance of each student in the education is registered.
2. Students who do not comply with this minimum attendance requirement for
the tutorial group meetings, but who have not missed more than one meeting
than is allowed, can still comply with the compulsory attendance requirement by
applying for a compensatory assignment from the Board of Examiners, no later
than two weeks after the relevant course has ended. At most, three requests for a
compensatory assignment will be granted to a student in each academic year. The
Board of Examiners will inform the student whether permission for a compensatory
assignment has been granted no later than four weeks after the course assessment
has taken place.
3. If attendance has been met in a given academic year this will be valid for the
remainder of the study even if the test is not passed in that year.
