As a registered international student, staff or guest of Ghent University, you agree to comply with the rules and regulations under which the University, its staff and students must operate. The principles of the regulations underpinning these are set out in a number of codes and regulations.

The Education and Examination Code affects every student, as it covers a wide variety of important topics, such as:

− Structure of the academic year

− Description of the academic system

− Enrolment regulations

− Teaching and evaluation methods

− Rules pertaining to a study programme and/or course unit

− Provisions for educational activities

− Examination regulations

− Fraud and irregularities (e.g. plagiarism)

− Complaints and appeals

Every year the Education and Examination Code is reviewed and approved by the Board of Governors. Therefore all articles are valid and binding for one academic year. You can find the Education and Examination Code and an English translation on this UGent website.
