Special circumstances

Promotion in very special circumstances takes place in the following fashion:

  • The student gets to do a re-sit.
  • The student gets to do an extra assignment.
  • The student gets a promotion contract.
    In this case the student must live up to the terms in the contract, which needs to be signed by all parties involved (student/parent/teacher/department head). The contract is evaluated by the end of the first period.
