Statutory Tuition Fees
The following conditions determine eligibility for the payment of statutory tuition fees:

Students may not already have attained a Bachelor or Master's degree after 1 September 1991, for a programme included in the Central Register of Higher Education Study Programmes (Centraal Register Opleidingen Hoger Onderwijs (CROHO)). An exception to this condition will apply for individuals that do already have a degree, but who are now registering for an education or healthcare programme for the first time. These individuals will be eligible for the payment of statutory tuition fees.
If you meet the conditions mentioned above, you will be eligible for the payment of statutory tuition fees. The statutory tuition fees for academic year 2012-2013 (starting on 1 September) will be:

Bachelor/Associate Degree Full-time/cooperative-education € 1,771
Bachelor/Associate Degree Part-time € 1,480
Master Full-time/cooperative-education/part-time € 1,771

Institutional Tuition Fees

If you do not meet the conditions applicable for statutory tuition fees, you will pay institutional tuition fees.

The institutional tuition fees for academic year 2012-2013 (starting on 1 September) will be

Bachelor/Associate Degree Full-time/cooperative education  € 7,169
Bachelor/ Associate Degree Part-time € 6,896
Master Full-time/cooperative-education/part-time € 7,169
If you meet the residence and nationality requirements, but are enrolled for a second Bachelor or Master's degree that you started in academic year 2010-2011 or earlier, a transitional arrangement applies for you.

Administrative Charge
Students that pay their tuition fees in instalments will be subject to a one-off administrative charge of € 24.

Deregistration and Refunds

If you are paying institutional tuition fees and decide to deregister from your programme before the end of the academic year, you will only be eligible for a refund in certain cases. This restriction does not apply when paying statutory tuition fees.

Interim Changes

If you find that you are only able to meet the conditions applicable for the payment of statutory tuition fees later in the year, you will be required to pay institutional tuition fees until this time. Conversely, where you find that you no longer comply with the conditions later in the academic year, (high) institutional tuition fees will apply as of this time.

Where the information we have is incomplete and we find, during the course of the academic year, that you have already attained a degree certificate in the past, for example, your tuition fees will be adjusted.

Second Study
If you are starting a second study with effect from 1 September 2012 before completing your first study, for which you are paying statutory tuition fees.

If you are registered for a study at Inholland and are paying institutional tuition fees and you want to do a second study for which institutional tuition fees will be due from you, you will pay 50% of the institutional tuition fees applicable for the second study.

Long-term Students
A legislative proposal relating to long-term students has been prepared and is awaiting adoption by the Upper and Lower House. The target date for its entry into force is 1 September 2012. For the time, being, this proposed legislative amendment to the Student Finance Act will relate to all students enrolled for higher education in and after academic year 2012-2013.
