Compensation rules in the Bachelor
In the Bachelor, it is possible to compensate a fail for one course with a pass for another course (OER art. 5.1 lid d, Dutch) under certain conditions [revised rules, Sept. 2019]:
A module can only be compensated when the module that serves as compensation has the same (or more) credits. Insufficient grades for Skills training, Research Practical, electives (see article 3.7 of the Education and Examination Regulations) and the bachelor’s thesis cannot be compensated or be used as compensation.Psychodiagnostics and statistics courses (Methods & Techniques, Statistics I, Statistics II and Statistics III) cannot be compensated, but can be used as compensation.
Implications of the new 'pass/fail' -grading for 'Men and Machine' / 'Mens en Machine'
Starting 2018-2019, IPN2026 'Men and Machine' / PSY2026 'Mens en Machine' will be graded with a pass or fail. For this reason, the course now falls outside the compensation regulation.For resit candidates (2017-2018 or earlier), the grading type depends on the attendance obligation.
• Attendance obligation already fulfilled -> your exam (resit) will still be graded on a ten point scale. Compensation regulation applies.
• Attendance obligation not yet fulfilled -> your course/exam will be graded with a pass/fail.
No compensation in the Masters programmes
There are no compensation options for any of the FPN Master programmes.
Procedure
Apply for the compensation via the online form.
• Once a compensation request has been entered, it cannot be changed or cancelled.
• When your request is approved, the compensation will be registered within 10 working days.
• The original grades will not change, the insufficient grade will show the addition ‘compensation’, and credits will be awarded. You can check this in your result transcript in My UM.
