What do you need to arrange?

Course fees or tuition fees
Did you attend MBO or VAVO (secondary education for adults) and did you pay course fees? Sometimes part of the course fees can be refunded. You must apply for this before or on the last day of the school year.
You do not pay tuition fees for higher education to DUO. If you have any questions about reimbursement of these tuition fees, please contact your school or university.
Sending diploma often unnecessary
If you studied in the Netherlands, you do not need to send your diploma to DUO. Your school or university will inform us about your graduation. You do have to make arrangements if you obtained a diploma abroad.
Completed propaedeutic phase
Did you complete the 1st year of your programme? You do not need to inform us of this, since you have not yet obtained a final diploma. Completing the propaedeutic phase also does not affect your student debt.
