Permission to Repeat a Year at a Tertiary Vocational School

Main information

During tertiary vocational education, the school director may allow a student to repeat a year if the student has not fulfilled the requirements of the accredited education programme for the respective year.

Permission to repeat a year is granted by the school director after assessing the student’s previous academic results and the reasons stated in the application.

This applies to you if

  1. You have not fulfilled the requirements of the accredited education programme for the respective year.
  2. You submit an application to the school director requesting to repeat the year.
No general rules are set; this depends on the content of the school’s accredited education programme.

When to use this service

You may request this service at any time if:

  • you fail to fulfil the requirements of the accredited education programme for any given year, and
  • you therefore cannot progress to the next year.
No general rules are set; this depends on the content of the accredited education programme of the relevant school.
