The Erasmus University Rotterdam is obligated to monitor your study progress. This is because the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) must report to the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) in case you obtain less than 50% of the required ECTS during the academic year (1 September – 31 August), and no valid exceptional personal circumstances have been reported. If you obtained less than 50%, the IND will revoke your residence permit and you are not allowed to continue your studies. You can switch to another study programme at another educational institution in the Netherlands.
