If you have formerly been enrolled in a study programme and you want to continue the same programme, please note that there are specific procedures and deadlines for applying, depending on how much of the programme you have completed.
These guidelines apply, no matter when and at which institution you have formerly been enrolled at the same programme. There is a difference between readmission and reenrolment, both explained below.
Please note, you cannot apply for re-admission at a study programme if there is less than 5 months between your withdrawal date and the new study start date.
Readmission
You must apply for readmission, if you wish to enroll at the same study programme before having passed the 1st year (2 semesters).
Apply for readmission through optagelse.dk. Please note the deadline for applying is 15 March at 12.00 noon.
Reenrolment
If you have withdrawn yourself from the study programme after having passed the 1st year (2 semesters) and you wish to enrol in the programme again in the same educational institution, you must apply for reenrolment.
It is essential that you have passed the 1st year (2 semesters) of the study programme, as defined in the study guide at the time you apply for reenrolment.
If you want to apply for reenrolment, you must fill in a reenrolment form. You can find the form here (pdf)
In order to guarantee that we can process your application in due time, you must apply no later than 2 months before you want to begin the study programme. If you are not able to meet the deadline, please contact Student Services to apply for dispensation from the time limit.
You must have improved your ability to complete the programme considerably
If your former enrolment was terminated by the educational institution, your ability to complete the programme must have improved considerably. The study programme will decide whether or not your abilities have improved sufficiently, based on the information and documentation that you provide.
This assessment will only take place if your enrolment was (or could have been) terminated due to one or more of the following:
- Because you did not pass the study start test
- Because you had used all examination attempts
- Because you did not participate in or did not pass the 1st year test
- Because you did not meet the requirements for active participation in your studies
- Because you are not able to complete the programme due to the rules and regulations in the programme
Complete your study programme within the time limit
It is regulated by Law when a programme must be completed. The maximum time limit for the majority of bachelor's programmes is between 5 ½ and 6 years.
The duration of the study is counted from the first time you were enrolled on the programme to the day you complete it. Maternity leave or adoption (52 weeks) or periods of compulsory military service, or Foreign Service on similar terms are automatically deducted.
If, at the time of reenrolment or readmission you exceed the limit, or you will not be able to complete the programme within the remaining time limit we will automatically extend the length of study provided that you meet the terms for reenrolment or readmission.
Please note, that you are only to be awarded an extension of the length of study corresponding to your remaining parts of the programme.
Questions?
We recommend you contact a student counsellor, if you wish to apply for admission to VIA University College. Determining whether formerly passed exams are transferable or the consequences of reaching the limit for duration of studies by reenrolment can be difficult.
They will also be able to help you with any questions regarding the procedures for readmission or reenrolment.
Legislative framework
Readmission and reenrolment is regulated in accordance with Executive Order 97 of 25 January 2021 regarding admission to Academy Profession Programmes and Professional Bachelor Programmes §§ 36-39.
