A dispensation is a permission to be exempted from the usual rules and regulations that apply to your degree programme. The Study Board has the authority to grant you a dispensation from its own rules and, in some cases, from rules laid down in executive orders.
Any application for a dispensation is processed on the basis of an individual assessment based on your specific, individual circumstances. Therefore, the Study Board must always make an concrete assessment of your individual case.
How to apply for a dispensation
Types of dispensation
Below you can read more about different types of dispensation and what information you will be asked to provide when filling out the application form.
Casework time
When you submit an application to the Study Board, it can take up to two months before your application is processed. If you have not attached all the necessary documents and information, it may take longer to process your application.
When your application has been processed by the study board, you will receive a decision via your SDU e-mail.
You may be asked to submit additional documentation or a detailed explanation if the Study Board needs more information in order to process your application.
