Enrolment Education & Exams

Don't forget to re-enrol at university every year. This starts with registering via Studielink and paying your tuition fees. More information on enrolment can be found here, on the general TU Delft website.

If you have registered for education, this does not mean that you are automatically registered for the examination. You must register separately for exams via My.TUDelft.nl or the MyTUDelft app. Make sure you register in time for your exam. If you do not, you cannot take part. This can be done up to 14 calendar days before the exam day.

More information on registering for exams can be found here, on TU Delft's general page.

Enrolment in education takes place twice a year in set periods. Enrolment is mandatory in order to participate in educational activities.

Enrolment for bachelor courses, offered in spring semester 2024-2025 (Q3 and Q4):

• Enrolment period: Monday 25 November 9:00 am to Friday 6 December 11:59 pm. 
• You can enrol for courses via BIS (go to BIS). Students who do not have an active NetID at the time of enrolment may use a temporary guest account in BIS.
• Enrol on time! After 6 December, it is no longer possible to enrol or change courses/studios in BIS. The only thing you can still do via the system is unenrol.
• If you have not enrolled through BIS during this period, in principle, you will not be able to follow any courses or studios. These arrangements are also known to the teachers. 
  If you have a valid reason for not being able to enrol on time for the required courses, please send an e-mail to enrolment-bk@tudelft.nl explaining your reason(s). A list with valid reasons can be found here. We will then determine whether this is indeed a valid reason. If the reason is valid, we will still enrol you for the required courses in BIS. If your reason is found not valid, you may be subject to a delay in your studies. In some cases, we will consult with an academic counsellor.

Unenrol if you do not want to participate!

If, during or after the enrolment period, you decide not to participate in a course or studio for which you have enrolled, it is very important that you unenrol. 

• How do you unenrol?
  Log in via BIS and choose 'unenrol' in the menu. If you are unable to unenrol, please send an e-mail to enrolment-bk@tudelft.nl. 
• Failure to unenrol and no valid reason?
  If you did not unenrol for a course and still did not show up without a valid reason, we will make a note of this and contact you about it. Be aware that we could have used the place you took for students who were on the waiting list for this. Late enrolment or failure to unenrol on time causes unnecessary costs that we would like to avoid. This concerns, for example, too many hired guest lecturers and half-filled groups. So for the timely and proper organisation of our education (deployment of teachers, group layouts, use of space, etc.) it is very important that we have a complete and correct overview of the students participating in the courses. Our experience with many 'late registrations' and 'no-shows' forces us to monitor this more strictly.

Bachelor renewal 2024-2025

This academic year the bachelor renewal has started. You can find all the information about the bachelor renewal and a planning tool that can help you to enrol for courses on the BK Student Portal.

Registering for exams

• If you have enrolled for education, this does not mean that you are automatically registered for the exam.
• You can register for exams via My.TUDelft.nl of via de MyTUDelft app.

• Enrolment period: Monday 25 November 9:00 am to Friday 6 December 11:59 pm. 
• You can enrol for courses via BIS, the Architecture Registration System (go to BIS). Students who do not have an active NetID at the time of enrolment may use a temporary guest account in BIS.

If your reason is found not valid, you may be subject to a delay in your studies. In some cases, we will consult with an academic counselor.

Enrolling for Master courses with limited capacity

Some Master (elective) courses have a maximum on the number of students who can participate.

• You can only enrol for these courses as long as this maximum has not been reached.
• When the maximum has been reached, the system will notify you and you will have to sign up for an alternative course. 
• Before enrolling for a course with a maximum, consider which alternative options you prefer. Then you can immediately enrol for them.
• Use the study guide to plan your electives. This will give you the provisional timetable, a list of permitted electives for each programme/track and the maximum number of students allowed per course. Make sure you do not enrol for  courses that are not permitted for your programme/track, as you cannot obtain any credits for these.

Enrolling for Building Technology (BT) electives

Enrolment for electives of track BT does not guarantee participation in the courses. If the number of enrolments for the courses exceeds the indicated maximum, students of track BT will be given priority for placement, as it is a compulsory choice in their study programme. If there are still available places left after that, other enrolled students will be placed by drawing lots.

MSc1 Architecture studios and MSc3 Architecture (graduation studios): 1,2,3 choice policy

When enrolling for studios, we apply a 1,2,3 choice policy. 

• When enrolling in BIS, you select your first choice within the architecture studios. You will then be prompted to submit your second and third choices. You are required to enter three choices.
• If there are more enrolments for a studio than available places, a draw will determine who is placed on the first choice and who is placed on the second and possibly on the third choice in the respective studio. 
• We make every effort to place everyone on the first or second choice. In the unlikely event that you are placed on your third choice, we will give you as much priority as possible for allocation during the next enrolment period.

No later than 20 December 2024, you will be informed in which project, studio and/or course you have been placed.This applies to courses with lottery and to the 1,2,3 choice policy at studios.

Waiting list
If it is necessary for you to be placed in your preferred studio or course, you can join the waiting list. You can do this by sending an e-mail to enrolment-bk@tudelft.nl. We aim to place students on waiting lists in vacant places before 15 January. After 15 January it is no longer possible to change courses or studios.

Unenrol if you do not want to participate!

If, during or after the enrolment period, you decide not to participate in a course or studio for which you have enrolled, it is very important that you unenrol. 

• How do you unenrol?
  Log in via BIS and choose 'unenrol' in the menu. If you are unable to unenrol, please send an e-mail to enrolment-bk@tudelft.nl.

Master harmonisation 2024-2026

The MSc programme Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences (AUBS) is being harmonised in the academic years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. The harmonisation in the current academic year focuses only on MSc2 and will start in February 2025. The renewal of the second year (MSc3 & MSc4) will follow from September 2025 onwards.

•    Haven’t you completed all MSc2 courses in the previous academic year 2023-2024?

If so, you can continue to do so this academic year: enrol for MSc2 courses in the next enrolment period (25 November until 6 December). Check the new or replacement courses in the new MSc2 structure in the Course browser searcher (tudelft.nl) and Transitional measures 2024-2025 on the Student Portal. Both the AUBS and Geomatics MSc programmes have elective space of 15 EC in Q4. A list of permitted electives for each programme/track is available in the Study guide. Make sure you do not enrol for courses that are not permitted for your programme/track, as you cannot obtain any credits for these.

•    Are you planning to interrupt your studies for the rest of this academic year?

If so, it is best to do this after completing the entire first year. You will then continue your studies from September 2025 onwards, when the new structure of the second year is also in place, with interdisciplinary Q5 electives (15 EC) and a graduation phase covering three quarters (be aware that February 2025 is the last possibility to start graduation in the old structure; more information on the renewed graduation will be available in April/May 2025). For information on temporarily interrupting your studies check the student portal: Stop or interrupt studies (tudelft.nl).

More information on the renewal of the master's programme can be found here.
