Regulation on the Binding Study Recommendation & procedure concerning personal circumstances of the student within the scope of the binding study recommendation.

Without prejudice to whatever has been determined in or under the Act with regard to registration for master's programmes, registration for a master's programme is only possible for those who are directly admitted to this master's programme in accordance with article 1.3, or have been admitted to this master's programme in accordance with article 1.4.
The code of conduct is one element of the policy applied by the University in the context of providing a safe and non-discriminatory work and study environment. Further instruments employed by the University to this end include the Complaints Procedure on (Sexual) Intimidation, Aggression, Violence and Discrimination (hereafter referred to as the ‘Complaints Procedure’) and the related Code of Conduct.
This Code sets out standards for Dutch higher education institutions in their dealings with international students. By signing the Code of Conduct of the Association of Universities in the Netherlands, Leiden University offers international students a guarantee of the quality of its study programmes, student recruitment, and selection procedures.
ICT tools such as e-mail, Internet and virtual learning environments not only provide new possibilities and opportunities, but also new manners and behaviour. It is therefore necessary to establish guidelines. The current Code of Conduct primarily represents the set of expectations that both teachers and students of Leiden University are likely to have. The term e-resources is used throughout the code to refer to any type of educational information or data offered through e-mail, the learning platform Blackboard or directly on the web. Note that this code exclusively deals with online education.
This code of conduct determines for each phase of the study programme the language of instruction and the language of examinations and tests for all programmes of Leiden University.
