Study and Top Sports

To be recognised as a top athlete, you should contact the UG's top sports coordinator, Mr Cees Reitsma. He has consultation hours every Wednesday morning from 9.00 to 12.30 at the UG sports centre, Blauwborgje 16 in Groningen. For an appointment or questions, please e-mail him (c.r.reitsma@rug.nl). He can also inform you further about the Student Elite-Level Sport Scheme and the Profileringsfonds.

Students themselves are responsible for checking per semester whether they expect bottlenecks and how these can be solved in the first instance without deviations and adjustments. In the unlikely event that problems do seem to arise, students should contact a student advisor themselves prior to the semester in question. In that case, bring the competition and training schedule with you.

In the first instance, you will look at your study planning, timetable and examinations together with the study advisor. If it is really necessary, we will look at deviating from these. Deviation from the examination regulations and/or the timetable is only possible if you have been recognised as a top-level athlete by the top-level sports coordinator and after consultation with a study advisor prior to the semester.
