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 autumn semester 2024-2025 (Q1 and Q2):

• Enrolment period: Monday 13 May 9:00 am to Friday 24 May 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 24 May, 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 coming spring semester, the bachelor's curriculum will still be offered in its current form. Are you planning to spread your course load this coming spring semester and not enrol in all modules? Then look carefully to see if these spread choices align with the updated curriculum for the 2024-2025 academic year. All information about the bachelor's renewal and a planning tool that can help you make your choices can be found on the BK Student Portal.

Enrolling for Master courses with limited capacity

Most 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 and the maximum number of students allowed per course.

Enrolling for electives in Building Technology (BT): priority for BT students

• If you enrol for optional courses in the Building Technology track, your participation is not yet guaranteed.
• If there are more enrolments for courses than there are places, BT students will be given priority for placement as it is a compulsory choice in their study programme.
• If there are still places available after that, we will also place other enrolled students by drawing lots.

MSc2 Design projects and MSc3 Architecture studios: 1,2,3 choice policy

When enrolling for MSc2 Design Projects or MSc3 Architecture studios, we apply a 1,2,3 choice policy.

• When enrolling in BIS, you select your first choice within the MSc2 Design projects or MSc 3 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 an MSc2 Design Project or MSC3 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 project or 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 2023, 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.
