My Timetable

In MyTimetable you can find schedules for all courses and bachelors, so you can put together your personal schedule. Education activities that you have signed up for in uSis will automatically be displayed in your personal calendar. You can connect My Timetable to a calendar app on your phone, and any changes to your schedule will automatically be shown. It’s also possible to receive an email notification in the event of a rescheduling.

Questions? Watch the video instruction, read the manual or contact the ISSC helpdesk.

Extended examination time

Do you have reason to believe you might need more time during exams or do you need other assistance?

Schedule a meeting with the student dean, Kaiserstraat 63, Leiden. Click this link for more information.

If the student dean agrees you need extra time, a statement will be drafted and sent to your study advisor and/or the Examination Committee, who will have to approve the request. If your request is approved you will receive an email/letter with more information.

In any case you must contact the Educational Office at least 4 weeks ahead of the examination period, to let us know when you need a laptop/other assistance. If you have put in such a request and decide not to take the examination, you should also let us know. If you are in need of extra time there is no reason to contact us, it will be handled during the exam.
