Student registration (after admission)
What's your degree/status?
Early deregistration
You can deregister at any time. However, please be aware of the consequences for reimbursement of tuition fee and calculation of flemish study vouchers.
If you want to deregister, (partial) reimbursement of the tuition fee will depend on the date of your official registration and withdrawal.
Attention! If you registered for a postgraduate certificate programme and you want to deregister after the start of the academic year, you will be required to pay the total amount of the tuition fee.
We will not reimburse the fixed component of the tuition fee but will reimburse the variable amount (based on the amount of course units you enrolled for).
We will not reimburse the fixed component nor the variable amount for half of the course units in your ISP.
We will not reimburse the fixed component nor the variable amount for all course units in your ISP.
Potentially lost study vouchers
- the Individual study programme (ISP) deadline for the semester in which the course unit starts has not yet passed .
- you did the exam for this course unit and passed it, regardless of whether you did or did not deregister (yet).
- you deregister past the ISP deadline of the semester in which the course starts .
- AND no exams (for the course units you will no longer take) have taken place yet. If the exam took place but you skipped it, you will lose all of your study vouchers.
…if you have taken the exam of a course unit and failed it, regardless of whether you did or did not deregister (yet).

Study voucher account
All students are granted 140 virtual study vouchers (corresponding to 140 credits) in a personal study voucher account when they start a higher education programme in Flanders. You need these to enrol in a programme.
Each academic year, the number of credits for which you enrol will be deducted from your study voucher account.
- you recover study vouchers for course units that you pass
- you lose study vouchers for course units that you did not pass
If you do not have sufficient study vouchers but DO have a positive study voucher balance (> 0), you can still enrol, but you'll pay a higher tuition fee for the lacking study vouchers after the ISP has been approved.
In order to be admitted to a study programme or course unit, the student's study voucher account cannot display a zero or negative balance.
The additional tuition fee is:
- non-scholarship students: € 11,40 per credit
- nearly-scholarship students: € 4,10 per credit
- scholarship students: waived (no additional fee)
UC Leuven-Limburg will retrieve the study voucher account balance at Databank Hoger Onderwijs (DHO) before registration. DHO’s calculating principles are always applied.
When the tuition fees are recalculated in March, the credits in the ISP and the earned credits of the first examination period are taken into account.
Example: if you need 3 more study vouchers in semester 2 and you passed a 3 credit-course in semester 1, you needn’t pay for extra study vouchers.
