Who is eligible?
Anyone who finds themselves in one of the following situations is possibly eligible for the adapted studying project, i.e., anyone who:

In this case, make an appointment with the topsportcoordinator.
- Has a disability or chronic illness;
- Needs to carry out personal care tasks in their specific role as a parent or caregiver;

In these cases, you can make an appointment with student counsellor Pieternel Cremers, Marjolein Büscher-Touwen or Roy van Eert.
- Holds a position on a board or a participational body;
- Is enrolled in two study programmes at the same time.
In these cases, it is not necessary to make an appointment with a student counsellor. Please send an email to flexibelstuderen [at] ru.nl and include the following information:
- Name and student number;
- An explanation of why you want to be considered for adapted studying, what bottlenecks you encounter and what you think is needed;
- In case of board or participation position: name of student board, your role and a supporting document (e.g. screenshot of website). Note: boards can also include the application for all board members in one e-mail;
