Withdrawal

If you intend to withdraw from your studies, you must do so through Studielink. It is advisable that you communicate your wish to withdraw to your student advisor, the college dean, and the head of your programme. Your request for withdrawal will be passed on to Codarts, after which we will process your request.

Please note: you are personally responsible for cancelling your student grant (studiefinanciering) and student travel card through DUO.

 Reimbursement of tuition fees

If you withdraw from your studies and communicate this through Studielink during the period from September 1 to May 31, you will be eligible for a refund of any excess fees you may have paid. In this case, you will only be required to pay tuition fees for the period during which you were enrolled.

You will be entitled to reimbursement of one-twelfth of the tuition fees payable for each remaining month of the academic year following your withdrawal. This applies to both the statutory tuition fees and the fees payable to our institution.

Please note: if you have received a Bewijs Betaald Collegegeld (Proof of Payment of Tuition Fees) from Codarts, you will not be eligible for a refund of the excess tuition fees paid. If you nevertheless want to be considered for a refund, you must submit to the Academic Service Center (ASC) the original Bewijs Betaald Collegegeld/Proof of Payment of Tuition Fees you received from Codarts.

Withdrawal or deregistration before September 1

If you withdraw your application for the new academic year through Studielink before September 1, you will not be required to pay tuition fees for the new academic year. Your direct debit mandate will be cancelled in this case, and any excess fees you may have paid for the new academic year will be automatically reimbursed.

Withdrawal after September 1

September to May (inclusive)

Once your request to withdraw from your course has been processed by the Administrative Service Center, you will receive a confirmation through Studielink. If you paid the fees by direct debit mandate, this will be cancelled and you will (if applicable) receive a refund of any excess tuition fees you may have paid.

Date of withdrawal: you will be withdrawn as a student at Codarts at the end of the month in which you submitted your withdrawal request.

March 10: This is the date when you submitted your request for withdrawal through Studielink.

March 31: You will be withdrawn from the college at the end of this month. In this case, you will be enrolled until March 31.

April 1: On April 1, you will officially cease to be a student at Codarts.

In this case, you will be required to pay tuition fees for the months September through March. You will be eligible for a refund of any tuition fees paid in excess.

June to August (inclusive)

If you submit a request for withdrawal during the months of June, July or August, you will not be entitled to restitution. No refunds will be issued for the months of July and August.

You will be notified once your request to withdraw from your course has been processed by the Administrative Service Center.

Deregistration after graduation

If you are graduating at the end of the academic year, you will not be required to personally deregister through Studielink. In this case, your registration will be terminated automatically on August 31.

If you graduate before this date, you are required to submit a deregistration request through Studielink. You must do so after receiving an email confirmation from the Examinations Committee (Examencommissie) that your degree has been conferred. After the Administrative Service Center has processed your deregistration, you will receive a written confirmation. The deregistration process and the refund of the tuition fees will proceed in the same way as the process for withdrawing from your studies – see xxxx.

Please note: you are required to personally cancel your student grant (studiefinanciering) and student travel card through DUO.

Cancelling student grant and student travel card

You are always personally responsible for cancelling your student grant and student travel card. You can check with Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs (DUO) until when you are entitled to the student grant and when this must be cancelled.

Please note: if you are not enrolled at our institution, you will not be entitled to a student grant or travel card. You will be required to repay DUO any unduly received student grant funds and undue use of the student travel card, including interest. In some cases, you may also be required to pay a fine.
