Your steps towards graduation
Step 1: Check your record of examinations
Open your record of examinations in u:space → Studies → Record of examinations.
- Does it list all courses you have completed?
- Are all courses assigned to the correct module?
- Are all relevant traffic lights in the record of examinations ‘green’?
Please contact us if you have any questions or if a grade has been assigned to the wrong module.
Follow this step if your degree programme includes extension curricula (EC).
- Check whether your EC appears in your record of examinations under the heading “Extension Curricula”.
Has an extension curriculum been fully completed and is the corresponding indicator in your record of examinations green? If so, go to u:space → Courses → Extension Curricula and select “Use for graduation”.
Note: Recognised extension curricula from previous studies cannot be selected.
