The Examination Committee must see to it that for each student, the marks or designations obtained by each student during the propaedeutic and postpropaedeutic phase and the results on the examination and the corresponding interim examination work is retained in the archives of the programme in accordance with the “Selection list for the administrative records of public authority tasks and non-public work processes of Dutch universities of applied sciences”, 2013. 4. When a student has handed in the interim examination assignments and the total number of answer forms after the end of a interim examination, the invigilator will record this on the protocol form. At that time, the responsibility for careful retention of a written interim examination work will pass to the University of Applied Sciences. 5. Should the interim examination work referred to in Article 15.4 nevertheless get lost, owing to which no mark can be given, this course of affairs will be established by the Examination Committee. Subsequently, after having heard the student in question, the lecturer or coordinator concerned will determine the time at which and the form in which the interim examination has to be taken again. 6. The Examination Committee must place the documents referred to in the preceding paragraphs in safekeeping in such a way that the authenticity of the documents is guaranteed during the retention period. 41

7. The student must keep a copy (written and/or digital) of the interim examination (component) submitted in his/her possession for one year after it is handed in, in so far as circumstances do not prevent this. 8. A copy of the degree diploma and diploma supplement must be kept in the archives for fifty years. Article 25

Legal protection

1. A student who disagrees with the Examination Committee’s decision based on the provisions in this chapter may lodge an appeal with the Examination Appeals Board (COBEX). 2. It is possible for a student to lodge an appeal against the decision by the COBEX with the Higher Education Appeals Tribunal in The Hague.

Study Career Advice and Recommendation on Continuation of Studies

Higher Education and Research Act (WHW): Art. 5.5, 7.8b, 7.13, 7.34, 7.51, 7.59, 11.15. Article 1

Study career advice

1. The Head of School will see to it that each student receives a study career advice, partly for the purpose of his/her orientation to possible courses of study in and outside the programme. 2. In study career counselling, the Head of School must give special care to counselling of students with a functional limitation, whose participation in higher education substantially lags behind the participation of students who do not belong to this group. 3. On behalf of the Executive Board, the Head of School must give special care to the counselling of students belonging to an ethnic or cultural minority, whose participation in higher education substantially lags behind the participation of native Dutch people who do not belong to such a minority. 4. Students can contact their study career advisor (which term is used by the programme) for problems directly connected with their studies. 5. Students can contact their student counsellor for problems of a personal nature, whether or not directly connected with their studies. Article 2

Recommendation on continuation of studies at the end of the first year of registration for the same programme at the same institution

1. On behalf of the Executive Board, the Examination Committee will issue to each student a recommendation on the continuation of his/her studies within the programme at the end of his/her first year of registration for the same programme at the same institution in the propaedeutic phase of the programme. 2. In case of enrolment in September, the letter in which the Examination Committee notifies the student of the recommendation may not be sent to students later than in the third week of July. 3. In departure from paragraph 1, for those who enrol in February the word ‘year’ will be replaced by 13 months. This exception to the regular enrolment in September is made for organisational reasons due to a different structure of the programme year 43

for students enrolling in February. In the case of students enrolling in February, the letter in which the Examination Committee notifies the student of the recommendation may not be sent later than in the last week of February. 4. The recommendation on continuation of studies will be binding and rejecting in nature if a student has obtained fewer than 51 credits from the propaedeutic phase, and has not passed units of study from the propaedeutic phase designated by the programme with a sufficient mark at the time the recommendation is given. 5. The units of study designated by the programme as referred to in the last sentence are: a. Personal Professional Development (3 credits); b. Writing skills (3 credits) c. Business Accounting or Business Administration (3 credits) 6. Marks obtained through an exemption will not count in determining whether the minimum of 51 credits has been obtained. 7. Students who have terminated their registration in the interim in the course of a programme year will receive a recommendation for the propaedeutic phase not later than at the end of the programme year that may also be a binding recommendation with rejection (BSA), unless - in view of the student’s personal circumstances - the Examination Committee has no reason to issue a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA). 8. Students who have registered for a programme, discontinued their studies and then registered again for the same programme at the same institution are legally considered ‘students in the second year of registration’. This means that these students must have fulfilled all their propaedeutic requirements at the end of their second year of registration. Article 3

Recommendation on continuation of studies at the end of the second year of registration for the same programme at the same institution

1. On behalf of the Executive Board, the Examination Committee will issue a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA) if a student has not passed the propaedeutic examination at the end of the second year of registration for the same programme at the same institution. 2. In the case of students enrolling in September, the letter in which the Examination Committee notifies the student of the recommendation may not be sent later than in the third week of July. 3. In departure from paragraph 1, for those who enrol in February the word ‘year’ will be replaced by 13 months. This exception to the regular enrolment in September is made for organisational reasons due to a different structure of the programme year for students enrolling in February. In the case of students enrolling in February, the letter in which the Examination Committee notifies the student of the 44

recommendation may not be sent later than in the last week of February. 4. Students who have terminated their registration for the programme in the interim in the course of the programme year will receive a recommendation for the propaedeutic phase not later than at the end of the programme year that may also be a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA), unless - in view of the student’s personal circumstances - the Examination Committee has no reason to issue a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA). 5. After expiry of the period referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this article, no binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA) can be issued anymore. Article 4

Conditions for a Binding Recommendation on Continuation of Studies with Rejection (BSA)

1. A binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA) will not be issued if the student has not been warned at least once during the programme year in good time by the programme and in a reasonable time that if circumstances do not change, the student could receive a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection, as well as what the consequences would be. 2. If applicable, the student must report special circumstances to the student counsellor and [the personal coach] in a timely manner and request the Examination Committee to take them into consideration in its decision on issuing a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA). The Examination Committee can ask the student counsellor and personal coach concerned for further advice on possible personal circumstances that could justify not issuing a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA) to the student concerned only with the student’s consent. 3. A report of special circumstances will be deemed to have been made in good time if the student reports the circumstances as soon as they occur or very soon afterwards. 4. The following are considered special circumstances: a. Illness; b. Pregnancy; c. special family circumstances; d. physical, sensory or other functional disorders; e. administrative activities a student carries out in the context of student participation at Stenden on which the student spends a substantial amount of time, to be assessed by the Executive Board, on condition that the student can demonstrate that the applicable facilitation does not compensate the delay in studies and they can therefore be considered special circumstances. 45

5. The situations referred to under a. to d. must be established in writing by an independent expert. 6. If the Examination Committee decides not to issue a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA) in cases as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Examination Committee will be entitled instead to issue a non-binding recommendation to the student concerned. 7. Depending on the nature of the of the special circumstances, the student can request the Examination Committee to treat the information provided in the context of the recommendation referred to in the second paragraph confidentially. 8. Irrespective of the provisions in the preceding paragraphs, before proceeding to issue the binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA), the Examination Committee must give the student the opportunity to be heard by or on behalf of the Examination Committee. Article 5

Consequences of a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA)

1. If a student receives a Binding Recommendation on Continuation of Studies with rejection (BSA), the Executive Board will terminate his or her registration in accordance with the applicable deregistration procedure in Chapter 2 of the Students’ Charter. 2. The Examination Committee will be authorised in certain cases to compromise in cases of extreme unfairness that might occur if a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA) were issued. 3. A person who has received a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA) can no longer register at the institution for the same programme as a student or extraneus for at least one year. After this period, in case of a renewed registration, the person concerned must make it plausible to the satisfaction of the Examination Committee of the programme that the programme can be taken successfully. 4. In case of a renewed registration as referred to in paragraph 1, a student should be legally considered a ‘student in the third year of registration’, on which basis the student can no longer be issued a Binding Recommendation on Continuation of Studies with Rejection (BSA). Article 6

Transfer from the propaedeutic to the post-propaedeutic phase

1. At the end of the first programme year , the Examination Committee will determine which students may progress from the propaedeutic phase to the post-propaedeutic phase. The following categories of students are admissible: a. students who have passed the propaedeutic examination; 46

b.

students who have obtained at least 51 credits in the propaedeutic phase and have not received a binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (BSA) for a different reason.

2. A student who has obtained 51 or more but fewer than 60 credits from the propaedeutic phase must draw up a study plan in consultation with the study career advisor primarily aimed at making up the lag in the propaedeutic phase. In this study plan, the units of study of the post-propaedeutic phase will be determined to which the student can be admitted. 3. A student who has obtained 51 or more but fewer than 60 credits from the propaedeutic phase must first consult with the study career advisor but afterwards will have direct access to all units of study of the post-propaedeutic phase. 4. In working out both preceding paragraphs, one must take into account that the student is not allowed to take a unit of study from the post-propaedeutic phase that is a direct continuation of a unit of study from the propaedeutic phase which he or she still has not passed. Account must also be taken of the provisions of Chapter 5, article 2 on the order in which tests and/or examinations can be taken. 5. A student cannot derive any rights from taking courses from the propaedeutic phase as well as the post-propaedeutic phase regarding the manner of scheduling. It is therefore possible that such courses will be given at the same time. Article 7

Referral in the post-propaedeutic phase

1. Students of the programme will have access to all specialisations described in Chapter 3, article 2. Article 8

Legal protection

1. A student who disagrees with the recommendation on continuation of studies issued on the basis of this chapter can lodge an appeal against this with the Examination Appeals Board (COBEX). 2. It is possible for the student to lodge an appeal against the decision by the COBEX with the Appeals Tribunal for Higher Education in The Hague (CBHO). 3. Lodging an appeal with the COBEX or the CBHO will not have suspensive effect, in the sense that the binding recommendation on continuation of studies with rejection (NBSA) that was issued will remain in effect until a different, final and conclusive decision has been made on appeal.
