To use provisions for your first exams, it is strongly recommended to submit your request for a provision at least six weeks prior to your exams. Have you been diagnosed during your studies? Inform your faculty's study advisor as soon as possible. Follow the steps below to request provisions.
Do you already know which provision(s) you need? Then request them via OSIRIS case. Follow the instructions under step 3 on this page. There are several ways to do this:
- Review the possible provisions on our Dissabilities and Provisions page.

When you have been granted examination provisions, it is important to carefully read the information below.
Timely Registration & Provisions
It is important that you are registered for an exam within the registration period to make use of the granted examination provisions. Note: With late registration up to two working days before an exam, you can still use the provisions. If the late registration is within the two working days before an exam or on the day of the exam, the right to examination provisions for that exam expires.
Location
Through OSIRIS Student, you will be informed about the exam location. If you are registered for an exam, this information will be available there at least 1 day before the exam starts. In OSIRIS Student, you will find information about the room and block where you will take your exam. All exams are usually taken in the Exam Centre unless otherwise communicated in OSIRIS Student. See also the site plan, section E3.
If you have permission to take exams in a separate room, you cannot take an exam in another room. Two places cannot be reserved.
Start and End Times
All exams have the same start times: 9:30, 13:30, and 18:30. If you use the provision for extra time (30 minutes), the end time of the exam is half an hour later than the regular end time.
Late?
Are you less than 15 minutes late for the exam? Then you may still take the exam at the location as communicated in OSIRIS Student. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will not be granted access to the exam.
Cancellation
Are you deciding not to participate in an exam? Please inform the exam organization as soon as possible via email: exams@eur.nl. This way, another student can use your spot.
Exam Rules
The exam rules for exams in a separate room are identical to those for the exam in the main hall. For more information, look at our page on examinations.
On our accessibility page, you can find more information about the campus accessibility. Here you will also find a special map where the routes for visitors and students with mobility impairments are clearly indicated. Note: Since June 2024, the route via Institutenlaan is closed for an extended period due to the renovation of the Tinbergen building. Check this page for current information and alternative routes.
- It is important to regularly assess whether your provisions still suit your situation. Have there been any changes in your circumstances? Do you need different accommodations, or no longer require a certain accommodation? If so, discuss this with your academic advisor.
- You are responsible for keeping track of the validity period of your provisions. The validity period is mentioned in the decision you receive when your provision is approved, and you can monitor it yourself via OSIRIS Student.
