Negative binding study advice for first-year students postponed again

As in the past two years, Inholland University of Applied Sciences is giving first-year students an extra year to obtain their credits. This applies to first-year students who started their studies at our University for the first time in September 2021.

The Executive Board of Inholland University of Applied Sciences is thus following the decision of the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences. “By postponing the negative binding study advice, we hope to provide some relief. This is necessary because they have been hindered again by the corona measures this academic year," says Maurice Limmen, chairman of the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences.

 “We can imagine that students would have liked to know that the negative BSA would be suspended, sooner” says Huug de Deugd. “Initially, it seemed that considerably more physical education would be provided this academic year. But the lockdown from mid-December and the wave of Omikron variant meant that many lessons had to be given online again or could not continue at all. We therefore think it is right that our first-years are also given extra time.”
