If you did not register in time for a course in the next quartile or an exam in the current quartile, you can make use of the administrative costs regulation. You pay €20,- per course or exam to register after the registration deadline.
The administrative costs regulation works as follows:
1. Check whether you meet the entry requirements of the course. These are listed in the course catalogue under 'entry requirements'. Examples of entry requirements are mandatory prior knowledge and exclusion due to overlap.
2. If you meet the entry requirements, fill out the form below to register.
3. Once we have processed your application, you will receive a confirmation email from OSIRIS. Did you not receive a confirmation email? Please contact the ESA Helpdesk immediately. We cannot register you for courses that are already full.
4. A few days later you will receive an AcceptEmail to pay the 20 euros payment per course. The deadline for payment is mentioned in the AcceptEmail and is not the same as the AKR deadline.
5. When your payment has been processed, you will receive a confirmation email from the ESA Helpdesk. Your registration is then final.
The administrative costs regulation is only valid during a period indicated beforehand. After the end of this period, participation in a course is no longer possible. You will have to wait until the next period that the course is taught.
Exceptions
Have you missed the course or exam registration deadline due to personal circumstances? If so, read here to find out when it is useful to contact the student counselor to request registration without administrative fees.
If you missed the deadline due to circumstances beyond your control, such as the following events occurring in the weeks leading up to the registration deadline:
- Severe illness or the death of a partner, father, mother, brother, or sister.
- Severe (psychological) illness requiring the student to be hospitalized for an extended period and/or undergo frequent treatments.
- Serious family problems, such as the announcement of a parental divorce or domestic violence.
Unfortunately, a short-term illness or injury is not considered a circumstance beyond your control that would exempt you from paying administrative fees. Registration for courses and exams is possible several months before the deadline. If you wait until the last moment and something happens that causes you to miss the deadline, we generally cannot make exceptions.
If the student counselor recognizes your personal circumstances, we will register you for the course or exam without charging administrative fees. If the personal circumstances arise during a quarter, the course lecturer will determine whether participation in the course or exam is still possible.
