• FAQ

  • Is a green tick when selecting minors in the course registration module also sufficient when selecting minors with a maximum number of students?
    No, in that case you ought to register timely for all courses before they reach the set max. See VU.nl under the tab information on Courses > Register/deregister for courses and exams.
    Caution: always select the academic year in which you plan to take the minor. This can be found in the right upper corner of the course registration module.
  • When can I register for the (minor)courses?
    When registration starts. See VU.nl under the tab – student – to study -  courses or on Courses > Register/deregister for courses and exams.
  • I am registering for a minor with max courses. I am not sure there will be enough space. To be sure I would like to register for another minor, but it is not working. Can you help do this for me?
    No, unfortunately not. Due to organisational constraints, you can only select one minor. You can also only take one minor, as it is not feasible to take two simultaneously. A minor is a full programme. Make sure you register timely for the course(s) of this minor.
