Deregistration for degree students

Official deregistration

Official deregistration is required if you decide to stop your studies at LUCA School of Arts.

Deregistration is done by completing the deregistration form, followed by handing in your student card and possibly other badges or material on loan from LUCA. Preferably drop by at the Education Administration (during opening hours) to deliver these items. If not possible, please send the items by postal mail to the campus address where you were registered. You will receive a proof of deregistration.

Implications for your learning account

Before 1 December

If officially deregistered before 1 December, you will regain all used credits with the exception of the course units for which the examination committee has already decided on the results. 

Between 1 December and 15 March

If officially deregistered between 1 December and 15 March, you will not regain the used credits for all first semester courses and year courses. You will however regain the credits of the second semester courses. 

After 15 March

If officially deregistered after 15 March, you will not regain any used credits (not for the first semester, second semester or year course units). 

Special regulation for generation students

Generation students* who deregister and switch to another education programme (at LUCA or another institution) between 1 December and 20 December, will regain half of the credits for the course units of the first semester and the year course units. This on the condition that the examination committee did not yet decide on the results for these course units and that the student is officially registered for another education programme before 15 March. 

More information on the learning account is to be found on the website of the Flemisch government.

*Generation students are enrolled for a bachelor's programme for the first time.

Credit contract

If you deregister as a student with credit contract, all used credits are definitely lost.
