Health and well-being during introductory period

To ensure the well-being of new students during introductory activities, student organisations that are planning on holding activities must adhere to the agreements set down in  the ‘Covenant on the treatment of (prospective) association members - particularly during the introductory period’ (in Dutch).

Overlapping introductory activities

Every year, a large number of organisations hold activities for new students. The Overlap Committee draws up agreements to ensure as little overlap as possible and so enable students to take part in all the activities they need. See the agreement set down by the Overlap Committee.

Alcohol and drugs

Leiden University finds it very important that study and student associations look after the health and safety of their members. For this reason, a number of agreement have been drawn up in relation to alcohol and drug use. 

• Student associations must adhere to the agreement in the alcohol convenant (in Dutch).
• Study associations holding activities within university buildings or grounds must adhere to Leiden University’s protocol for study associations concerning alcohol consumption (in Dutch).
• Study associations holding activities outside university buildings or grounds must adhere to the covenant on the use of alcohol and drugs (in Dutch).
