Under normal circumstances, deregistration will be with effect from the time Study Service at Aalborg University receives your deregistration, no sooner. Therefore, it is not possible to withdraw retroactively. Study Service is responsible for notifying the Danish Immigration Services of your deregistration from Aalborg University.

If you de-register from your programme, you need to be aware of the following:

• If you deregister from a bachelor or profession bachelor programme before completing and passing the first year of study, you need to reapply for admission through optagelse.dk if you at some point want to resume your studies.
• You do not have a right to be re-enrolled in the study programme you are deregistering from as re-enrolment, among other things, necessitates that there is an available study place (this is only relevant for programmes with restricted admission) and that no other circumstances prevent re-enrolment, e.g. that you have used all your exam attempts or exceeded fixed deadlines without being entitled to exemption.
• In a potential re-enrolment, you are enrolled in the most recent, relevant curriculum and you cannot necessarily get full credit for study activities you have already passed if the curriculum has been changed radically in the intervening time, both regarding the academic content and the structure of the programme.
• If it is possible to re-enrol in the same programme, this may happen no earlier than five months after deregistration.
• Re-enrolment can only happen as of 1 February or 1 September.

You should be aware that Aalborg University can terminate your enrolment in university programmes if you have not been an active student in your bachelor, profession bachelor or master’s programme in the past year.

Lack of participation in relation to exams

If you are enrolled in a bachelor programme, a professional bachelor programme or a master programme, the university can terminate your studies if you have not passed an exam over the past year. Exams that you pass as a visiting student at another university and as part of a complete programme that is approved by the university, count as passed exams.

The first-year exam

As a student enrolled in a bachelor programme or a professional bachelor programme, you have to participate in all your exams during the first year. The date by which you must have participated in your exams at the latest appears in your curriculum.

You have the option of applying for exemption if your lacking participation is due to maternity or paternity leave, adoption, illness, conscription or other exceptional conditions.

• Rules for temination of enrolment due to lack of participation.
