The UvA Students' Charter describes the rights and obligations of both students and the university. It consists of a general part applying to all students at the UvA and a part for specific disciplines.

The Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER) lay down all the rules and guidelines regarding:

• admission;
• content and structure of the degree programmes;
• teaching;
• assessment and examination;
• transitional provisions.

The Examinations Regulations govern topics including: 

• Duties and procedures of the Examinations Board;
• Rules of conduct during exams;
• Requests for exemptions;
• Criteria for awarding the classification  cum laude ('with distinction');
• Assessment of exams.

The regulations governing Fraud and Plagiarism for Amsterdam Law School students can be found in the Examinations Regulations.

Changes are made to the curricula of law schools almost every year. There are transitional arrangements for students who started a programme before a change took place and who may have problems with their study programme as a result. You can find the transitional arrangements in the UvA Course Catalogue.

These regulations govern the organisation and management of the Amsterdam Law School.

In this section you will find an overview of all the UvA rules and regulations concerning teaching, research and operational management.
