Guest Enrollment

To take joint courses at different universities, you must register as a guest student at Leiden. 

To avoid registration issues, finalize your guest enrollment before the academic year begins. You will receive detailed instructions via email after registering at your primary university—please check your inbox for this information during the summer.

Please note that each partner university has its own procedures and requirements for guest enrollment. Be sure to follow the specific instructions carefully to ensure a smooth registration process.

Keep in mind that your guest university registration can only be completed once your primary university enrollment and payment are finalized.

If you have any questions regarding a guest registration procedure, please contact the institution responsible for the registration (Leiden).

Note The universities handle the Proof of Paid Tuition Fees (BBC) exchange. You may receive emails about this, but no action is required from you.
