Important information

• You can only request a proof of paid tuition fees (BBC) in Studielink if you are already fully enrolled at the other educational institution and you will be entering your payment details for the same academic year at the UvA.
• If your other educational institution is not yet able to provide the UvA with a digital BBC, then Studielink will inform you of this. In that case, you will need to request the BBC from the institution itself. The educational institution will then send the BBC directly to the UvA.
