Termination of Enrolment

As a student at TU Delft, you are responsible for submitting a request for termination of enrolment. If you no longer wish to be enrolled for your study programme(s) at TU Delft and you will not follow any courses or take examinations, you should arrange your termination of enrolment.

When do you terminate your enrolment?  

Termination of enrolment will take effect on the first day of the month following the month in which the request for termination of enrolment was submitted.  

For example:  

  • If you request termination of enrolment on 26 March, your enrolment will be terminated by 1 April. From 1 April you will no longer pay tuition fees.  
  • You graduate on 30 September. You can submit a request for termination of enrolment before 30 September. Your enrolment will then be terminated on 1 October and you will no longer pay tuition fees.  
  • It is also possible to request a different month of termination of enrolment, as long as this month lies in the future. For instance, if you request termination of enrolment on 26 March and you indicate that you wish to terminate your enrolment as from 1 May, your enrolment will be terminated on 1 May.  

Note! If you submit a request for termination of enrolment after 31 May, your enrolment can be terminated from 1 July or 1 August. Be aware that you will not receive a refund of tuition fees for the months of July and August.  

When you want to stop your study 

  • For example: you must stop your study due to a personal reason.  
  • For example: your Bachelor’s of Master’s programme isn’t the right fit for you.   

When you’re finished with your study you can terminate your enrolment yourself  

  • For example: you already finished the courses and had your (thesis) defence.  
  • For example: you’re awaiting your diploma or supplement and have finished all the courses, incl. (thesis) defence.  
  • For example: you just took your last exam and you’re sure you’ve passed it. Exception: if you’re not sure you’ve passed your exam, you can wait until your result is registered.  

Note! Your enrolment will not automatically be terminated after graduation.
