INKOM is the general introduction week for UM and Zuyd University of Applied Sciences. As a UM student, you can work with students from Zuyd to organise this large event. We need a lot of people to make this happen, from the crew that ensures everything runs smoothly to technicians, mentors and the board (the working group).

The SPT consists of four motivated students, with a new team of students appointed each September.

• International recognition: The Diploma Supplement is designed to enhance transparency and facilitate the recognition of your diploma abroad. 
• Objective information: It describes your degree programme without any value judgments. 

• Language: The Diploma Supplement is issued exclusively in English. 

   

• Clarity and detail: Offers a clear, detailed description of your studies, which can be particularly useful for further education or job applications. 
• Global mobility: Makes it easier for employers and educational institutions worldwide to understand and acknowledge your qualifications. 

If you would like to review an example of the Diploma Supplement, you can request one from your faculty.

If your graduation falls in June, July or August, you don't need to worry about deregistering. You will be automatically deregistered as of 1 September. Until 1 September, you can still use Maastricht University's facilities, as partial tuition fee refunds are not processed in July and August. 

If your graduation falls in any month other than June, July or August, you will need to deregister in Studielink. To deregister, go to Studielink and choose ‘Request for termination of enrolment’ under ‘Study programme details’.

Please note: after submitting your request for deregistration, you will be deregistered on the graduation date as entered into the system by the faculty. This may result in retroactive deregistration. Therefore, always stop your OV and study financing as soon as you have met all the exam requirements (if applicable).

If you graduate without deregistering yourself, this may affect the tuition fees you have to pay. This is because you will then remain enrolled until the end of the academic year.

If you are entitled to a partial refund of the tuition fees you paid, then this will be automatically refunded to the account of the payer after your deregistration is processed. 

If you are receiving Dutch student finance (e.g. student travel card, grants), you will need to cancel these via the DUO website (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs).

In exceptional cases, you can submit a 'request to postpone graduation’ to the examination committee of your programme. Please ensure you do this before you submit your final assignment or complete your last exam. Please contact the examination board of your study programme for more information. 

Upon graduating, you will receive a Diploma Supplement (DS), an internationally recognised document that describes the nature, level, context, content and status of your programme. 

DUO will include your diploma in an online overview called 'Mijn diploma's' (My diplomas), where you can easily verify and download the details of your diploma.  

As a new graduate, you still be able to use UM Career Services for six months. You can take advantage of career advice, job application training and workshops on personal development. Plus, you’ll have access a comprehensive vacancy database.
