Examination board

The HZ examination board is there to ensure that all students who leave the HZ with a diploma meet the requirements set by the study programme. In addition, they advise the executive board on numerous education-related matters.

Tasks of the examination board include:

  • Deciding on the awarding of certificates
  • Ensuring the quality of exams and tests
  • Deciding on fraud cases
  • Deciding on exemption requests
  • Make decisions about the (negative) binding study advice (NBSA)
  • Approve or reject minor choices

The HZ has a central examination board with a departmental examination board for each domain.

If you want to make a request to the (departmental) examination board, first contact your study career coach for help. Requests can be e-mailed to the departmental examination board in which your programme is represented:
