Force Majeure

Known in advance
The Board of Examiners appoints a delegate of the Board of Examiners (external examiner) and a substitute for all evaluations. If the external examiner will be unable to attend, s/he contacts the substitute to replace him.

Unexpected absence
If s/he is unable to attend, due to illness or other circumstances, immediate contact should be made by the other present mentors with Education and Student Affairs to contact/find a substitute.

Known in advance
If the main mentor or another mentor will be unable to attend, a presentation must be held for that mentor prior to the evaluation. In the evaluation this assessment will be taken into account by the other mentors for determining the final assessment.

Unexpected absence
There will be looked by the main mentor and other present mentors for an exam authorized deputy within the same academic field and/or Education and Student Affairs is informed. The evaluation should preferably be continued. The determination for a GO / NO GO (P4) or the registration of the marks on the final mark lists (P5) only takes place after consulting the absent mentor by phone. If this isn’t possible final judgment at the P4 is postponed, at the P5 a “pass” is registered for the involved academic field. In both cases a meeting with the absent mentor takes place on the shortest possible term, to determine a final conclusion. At doubt or on request of the student, it may be decided that an extra presentation must be held.

 It may occur that the appraisal doesn’t lead to an assessment. The external examiner informs the student on this situation. S/he presents the problem to the chairman of the Board of Examiners. The chairman of the Board of Examiners will reconvene the mentor team and external examiner for a reappraisal, which he will chair to achieve a consensus. In the event of failing he will make a final decision.
