Registering for courses

As a student, you will need to personally register via Osiris for the courses that you wish to take for each term or semester.

In most cases, you will automatically be registered for the first exam when you register for a course. Always check to see whether you are correctly registered for the exam registration deadline.

Go to OSIRIS

Need help? Please use the Course Registration Manual to register for courses.

After successful registration you will receive a confirmation in Osiris Announcements and in your student email inbox, as a proof of registration. Please contact STIP if you have not received this confirmation.

Exceptions for each faculty

Registration periods may vary from one faculty to another. In addition, there are some exceptions which means students will not need to personally register for courses.

Additional information

The Student Information Desk will register Bachelor’s and pre-Master’s students from the Communication and Information Studies and English Language and Culture study programmes for all of the major courses. These students will only need to register for the minor courses, elective courses and any courses from a previous year that need to be retaken.

In principle, all students of Dentistry are enrolled for education by staff members of Education Coordination. There are some cases where you as a student do have to take action yourself:
- If you want to register for education that is not programmed in your "own" year. If, for example, you have decided to wait a year before following a certain course because of an internship abroad or illness, you must inform the Education Coordination Department (onderwijsroostering-thk [at] radboudumc.nl) that you wish to follow this course. You will receive a registration message from Osiris on your student.ru.nl address. Check your RU-mail regularly.
- If you want to deregister for courses programmed in your year. An example: you are registered for a certain profile but want to take it easy due to personal circumstances. In this case, too, send a message to onderwijsroostering-thk [at] radboudumc.nl.
All first-year students starting the Master's Molecular Mechanisms of Disease are automatically enrolled for the courses and exams of the first year. Second-year students must enrol themselves via Osiris.
