A proof of payment of tuition fees (BBC) is a document showing that you have paid the statutory tuition fees at an educational institution in higher education.
Students who receive a student grant or loan from DUO only have to pay the statutory tuition fee once, in The Netherlands. Make sure that you request a “Proof of Payment of Tuition Fee-document”/“Bewijs van Betaald Collegegeld-document” (or BBC) on time from the Dutch educational institute to whom you've paid the statutory tuition fee to.
It is possible in Studielink to request a BBC from the educational institution where you have already paid, and to exchange it digitally with the educational institution where you want to pay. Whether the option of exchanging the BBC digitally is possible depends on the educational institution and whether it also supports it. EUR supports this option. Only if both educational institutions support this option can this exchange from the BBC be carried out digitally via Studielink.

If you don’t pay within this certain period, access to the educational systems will be blocked (see the debtor protocol). Also, it is possible that study results will not be registered and that you are not entitled to student finance or a student travel product.
