Register for your courses and exams

For most programmes you will need to register for courses and exams yourself. Check the overview below to see what applies to you.

Important information about regisering for courses/exams

You will only be able to attend courses, labs, skill trainings, exams, and resits for which you have a valid registration. Registration grants access to the course materials like manuals and recordings.
To register, use the Student Portal during the specified registration windows. The Student Portal will notify you when the registration window opens.

Please note: The registration interface may display courses from other years or programmes that you are not required to take. Only book the courses in your programme that you need to take!

Starting from 1 June each year, you can register for your courses throughout the upcoming academic year. Registering early reduces the risk of not securing a place in your desired courses. It is your responsibility to register for both courses and exams, so be sure you to meet all registration deadlines. If you decide not to attend a course, remember to deregister promptly.

If you attended a course in previous years, but you have not taken or passed the exam and you have met the attendance requirements, you only need to register for the exam. Instead of waiting for the exam registration period, we recommend registering for the course early and selecting 'takes exam only' as the reason for registration. This ensures access to course materials right from the beginning of the period.

Focus points

2024-2025
1 - All courses, practicals and skill trainings.	• A course registration always includes the first exam. You do not need to register for the first exam separately. • A course registration does not include the corresponding practicals. You also need to register for those modules separately. • Third-year bachelor Psychology students (also those who take electives at another faculty in the Netherlands or abroad): for period 1 you need to register for Skills V (PSY/IPN3131), the corresponding practicals Portfolio (PSY/IPN3159) and Quick Career Advice (PSY/IPN3160), and, of course, the courses in period 4, 5 and 6. • Courses that have entrance requirements can only be booked once the entrance requirement has been fulfilled. Courses with entrance requirements are: Portfolio Practicals, Statistics II (PSY/IPN2028), Statistics III (PSY/IPN3008) and Psychodiagnostics (PSY/IPN3109). See art. 4.2 of the Education and Examination Regulation for details. • Master Psychology, specialisation Work & Organisational Psychology: make sure to book Research Methods (PSY4094). • There are courses where your preference matters, see below for more information.
2 – Exam & resit - registration	• Most courses offer two exam opportunities per academic year: a (first) exam directly after the course, and a resit later in the year. (Please note: there are no resits for the courses in the bachelor Psychology programme as of cohort 2024-2025). A course registration always includes the first exam. To register for a resit, use the exam registration window of the period in which the resit takes place. Both exam opportunities are open to students who still need to pass the exam, but already have fulfilled the attendance requirement. In case you did not fulfill the attendance requirement, you cannot participate in the resit. See the exam schedule for the exact dates, times and locations of resits. Taking repeat education might help you to prepare for the exam in case you have not taken or have not passed the exam for a course in the previous year(s). You need to request repeat education separately by sending a message to askpsy@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
