College of Communication
Each semester, you are required to register for courses during the official registration period. When you register for a course, you are automatically registered for the exams, resits and the Canvas page for that course.
Make sure to register during the official registration period, because this is the only way to secure a place in a course. The registration period for courses in Communication Science offered in semester 1 of the 2021-2022 academic year is:
| Semester | starts | closes |
|---|---|---|
| Semester 1 | Friday 11 June 2021 08:00 | Tuesday 22 June 2021 13:00 |
Use Studielink to request (re-)enrolment in an UvA degree programme. This requires a DigiD (NB. if you apply for a DigiD or make any changes to it, you will receive an activation code within 5 days). Once you have (re-)enroled in Studielink, it may take up to 48 hours before you can register for courses.
Go to the Course Catalogue, find your degree programme and select the courses you want to take.
Go to uva.nl/courseregistration, find your courses and click on ‘Add Course’. Note: the planner for semester 1 of 2021-2022 will open at the end of May/beginning of June.
Go to the Planner tab and view your course timetable under ‘Open timetable’. Make sure that your courses do not overlap.
Go to the Planner tab, check the boxes for the tutorials (WG) [or other course components] you wish to follow and click on 'Register' and then on ‘OK’.
Go to the 'Overview of registrations’ tab and check your registrations.
You can cancel course registrations at uva.nl/courseregistration. Go to the ‘Overview of registrations’ tab, check the box next to the course you wish to cancel and click on 'Deregister' and then on ‘OK’.
You can only de-register for courses in SIS up until the end of the first week after the start of the course. If you do not de-register on time, it means that a spot is taken which could have been taken by another student.
If you are registered for a course but do not participate in it, it will be registered as a NAP (Not Attended) in your grade overview in SIS. These will be taken into account whether a student can graduate cum laude or not. Note: NAPs will not be shown on your degree certificate and official grade transcript.
