Under normal circumstances, deregistration will take effect from the time Study Service at Aalborg University receives your deregistration, no sooner. Therefore, it is not possible to withdraw retroactively. Study Service is responsible for notifying the Danish Immigration Services of your deregistration from Aalborg University.

If you de-register from your programme, you need to be aware of the following:

• If you deregister from a bachelor or professional bachelor programme before completing and passing the first year of study, you need to reapply for admission through optagelse.dk if you at some point want to resume your studies.
• You do not have a right to be re-enroled in the study programme you are deregistering from, as re-enrolment, among other things, necessitates that there is an available study place (this is only relevant for programmes with restricted admission) and that no other circumstances prevent re-enrolment, e.g. that you have used all your exam attempts or exceeded fixed deadlines without being entitled to exemption.
• In a potential re-enrolment, you are enroled in the most recent, relevant curriculum and you cannot necessarily get full credit for study activities you have already passed if the curriculum has been changed radically in the intervening time, both regarding the academic content and the structure of the programme.
• If it is possible to re-enrol in the same programme, this may happen no earlier than five months after deregistration.
• Re-enrolment can only happen as of February 1 or September 1.

You should be aware that Aalborg University can terminate your enrolment in university programmes if you have not been an active student in your bachelor, profession bachelor or master’s programme in the past year.

Lack of participation in relation to exams

If you are enrolled in a bachelor's programme, a professional bachelor's programme or a master's programme, the university can terminate your studies if you have not passed an exam over the past year. Exams that you pass as a visiting student at another university and as part of a complete programme that is approved by the university count as passed exams.

The first-year exam

As a student enrolled in a bachelor's programme or a professional bachelor's programme, you have to participate in all of your exams during the first year. The date by which you must have participated in your exams at the latest can be found in your curriculum.

You have the option of applying for exemption if your lacking participation is due to maternity or paternity leave, adoption, illness, conscription or other exceptional conditions. 

• Learn about exemptions.
• Rules for temination of enrolment due to lack of participation.

If you have been unenrolled by AAU from the same programme to which you are applying for enrolment, AAU has to assess whether you significantly improved your chances of completing the programme or if the programme has significantly changed.

Please note that the rules about improved chances of completing the programme also applies if you have cancelled your studies yourself at a time where the univeristy could have unenrolled you on the basis of the above-mentioned rules.

You have to apply for an exemption to be re-enrolled, if one of the following applies to you:

• You have used up the number of examination attempts or has been unenrolled due to lack of study activity
• You have been permanent dismissed 
  Below on this website you can read more about how to apply for exemption.

Please note that the deadline for applying and uploading the relevant documentation for enrolment is 1 March/15 October.
