Personal circumstances justifying postponement of the Binding recommendation on continuation of studies (BSA) for current students
BSA means that you will have to attain 45 credits in your first year in order to continue with your studies.
However, personal circumstances may have an adverse effect on your study performance. As soon as these
circumstances occur, you need to inform your academic counsellor. Your academic counsellor will discuss with you
whether these circumstances have indeed (had) an effect on your study performance and if you can request
postponement of the BSA from the BSA Committee. A request for postponement of the BSA includes not only a good
motivation on why you make the request, but also includes a declaration from the university doctor and/or psychologist.
Postponement of the binding recommendation on continuation of studies can be requested on the grounds of the
following personal circumstances:
a. Illness (including mental health problems)
b. Disability
c. Exceptional family circumstances
d. Pregnancy
e. Membership of the Faculty Student Council, the Central Student Council or the Board of Studies
f. Late registration for studies (after 30 September)
g. Athletes with a TUD top-class sports status
It should be noted that personal circumstances do not automatically lead to postponement of the BSA!
In case of postponement of the BSA you will have to earn 45 ECTS credits from the first-year curriculum during your
second study year, or successfully complete all first year courses.
Application for postponement
Applications for postponement of the BSA on the grounds of personal circumstances can be made until 22 June 2018.
Also apply when the results of Quarter 4 are still unknown!
Please contact the academic counsellor about the procedure and the essential documents. Please take into account that
there is a waiting period for getting a declaration from the student psychologist or physician.
