Faculty and study programme regulations
At faculty and study programme level there are various regulations in place to ensure that everything runs as it should. For example, there are thesis and faculty regulations, as well as rules and guidelines on assessments, exams, degree classifications and plagiarism.
As a student, the most important regulations you will come across in terms of your education are your study programme's ‘Course and Examination Regulations’ (known as OER in Dutch).
Course and Examination Regulations & Rules and Regulations bachelor's programmes
About
The main rights and obligations of students are laid down in the Student Charter. The charter comprises two parts. The institutional part is equal for all students at Leiden University.
The programme part of the charter addresses students of a specific degree programme and consists of the Course and Examination Regulations (OER in Dutch) and the e-Prospectus, which is considered to be an appendix of the OER. The OER describes amongst other things the course programme, admission requirements, rules pertaining to the elective scope of the programme, constituent examinations, degree classifications, etc.
In addition to regulations pertaining to the Student Charter, the independent Boards of Examiners draw up the so-called Rules and Regulations set by the Board of Examiners. These Rules and Regulations deal with e.g. order during examinations, assessment, final examination and diploma, and disciplinary measures in case of fraud or plagiarism.
Each student is expected to know the contents of the aforementioned regulations.
At our faculty, both Course and Examination Regulations and Rules and Regulations set by the Board of Examiners have a faculty part that is equal for all Science students and a programme specific part. (The only exception to this are some joint degree programmes offered in collaboration with Delft University of Technology).
