On this page you can find information regarding enrolment to the programme, after you have been admitted to Wageningen University & Research. Please follow the steps in order to complete your enrolment and to start your study in Wageningen.
1. Payment of the tuition fees
All European students indicate their method of payment via Studielink. As of 1 May, a new task will appear in your ‘To Do’ list. Here you can choose for your digital authorization.
For your enrolment and to determine what type of tuition fees you must pay, your identity has to be verified. In case this is not verified via Studielink, you will be asked to upload a scan of valid passport or EU ID-card.
The payment deadline is 15 August, however, we strongly advise you to confirm your payment earlier. As soon as you have confirmed the digital authorization, we consider your payment done. As soon as you meet all other enrolment criteria, you will be enrolled and your WUR account will become available (as of 1 July).
By confirming your digital authorization, you give Wageningen University & Research permission to collect the tuition fees from your bank account. In that case, you have met the payment obligation immediately, despite the fact that the amount is not debited until 27 September. Therefore, do this as soon as possible, but no later than 15 August!
If you choose to pay in multiple instalments an administration fee of € 24,- applies. The administration fee will be deducted together with the first instalment.
If you withdraw your (request for) enrolment at Wageningen University & Research before 1 September, the digital authorization will be cancelled.
Also an official Proof of Payment of Tuition Fees (BBC) can be made long before your money actually will be deducted from your bank account.
Exemption of payment of tuition fees with ‘Proof of Payment of Tuition fees’ from other Dutch university or hbo.
If, for the same academic year, you are enrolled as a student at another Dutch Institution for Higher Education (university or HBO) for a CROHO-registered study programme and you are entitled to pay the statutory tuition fee, you may be exempted from paying tuition fees when enrolling as a student at Wageningen University for a second study programme.
To get exemption:
- You must be entitled to the Dutch statutory tuition fee, and
- You will have to submit an original ‘Proof of Payment of Tuition Fees’ (BBC) from the other institution where you are registered as a student, showing that you have paid the statutory tuition fee.
If you are not entitled to the statutory tuition fee at Wageningen University, you will not be eligible for exemption of tuition fees and you will have to pay the full institutional tuition fee for your second enrolment at Wageningen University.
