If you have interrupted your studies due to non-enrolment, you can request to resume them later.

Fees for resuming studies

In the year in which you resume your studies, you will be required to pay any outstanding fees relating to the academic years in which you were enrolled, as well as the re-enrolment fee for the academic years in which you were not enrolled, amounting to:

  •    €200 in the case of a break of just one academic year
  •    €150 for each academic year of interruption following the first and up to the sixth
  •    €950 in the event of an interruption lasting more than six academic years

For courses with restricted intake, the resumption of studies is subject not only to the approval of the relevant degree programme board but also to the availability of places.

Lapse of enrolment

Enrolment at university lapses by operation of law upon expiry of the statutory time limit.

This occurs ten years after the last examination taken or the last enrolment.

For students whose enrolment has not lapsed prior to 27 December 2024, as well as for students enrolled on qualifying degree programmes, the time limit is 8 years.

The period begins on the date of the last examination taken or, if later, at the end of the last academic year of regular enrolment, set at 31 March of the year following that of enrolment.

For students who are only required to sit the final examination, the expiry of enrolment applies exclusively upon application by the student concerned.

It is also possible to apply for the reinstatement of lapsed or abandoned courses of study by paying the following fees:

  •    €800 in the case of courses declared to have lapsed
  •    from €500 to €800 in the case of degree programmes declared as having been withdrawn from, and more specifically:
    • €800 if the withdrawal was formalised in the academic year preceding that in which recognition is sought
    • €700 if the withdrawal was formally notified in the second or third academic year preceding the one in which recognition is sought
    • €600 if the withdrawal was formalised in the fourth or fifth academic year prior to the one in which recognition is sought
    • €500 if the withdrawal was formally recorded in the sixth academic year or earlier, prior to the year in which recognition is sought
