	~~Your need to enroll yourself every~~ year ~~that~~ you ~~are continuing with~~ your studies ~~(this~~ also applies ~~when changing~~ major). ~~This~~ is ~~typically done via [https://www.studielink.nl/~~ Studielink~~]. For this~~ you will need your DigiD. ~~You also have to remember~~ to ~~pay for~~ your tuition~~! Either pay it all at once~~, or in installments.		Each academic year, you must re-enroll to continue your studies at TU/e. This requirement also applies if you intend to change your major. Re-enrollment is completed through Studielink, for which you will need your DigiD credentials.
			Additionally, make sure to arrange your tuition payment, either in full or through installments, before the specified deadlines.

	===First year requirements===		===First year requirements===
	On your first year, you ~~will have~~ to ~~gain~~ a minimum ~~amount~~ of ECTS to ~~stay in the~~ TU/e ~~study~~ you ~~have chosen. This is~~ the BSA ~~(Binding Study Agreement)~~.		During your first year, you are required to obtain a minimum of 45 ECTS in order to receive a positive Binding Study Advice (BSA) and continue your program at TU/e.
			If you meet the 45 ECTS threshold, you receive a positive BSA and may continue your studies normally.

			If you do not meet the minimum requirement, you will receive a negative BSA, which means you must discontinue the program and are not allowed to re-enroll in the same program at TU/e for the next three academic years.

	~~Upon passing~~ the BSA, ~~there are differing followup requirements for EU & non-EU~~ students:		In exceptional circumstances that significantly affect academic performance, such as personal, medical, or family-related issues, students may apply for a postponed BSA. A postponed BSA allows the university to delay the final decision to a later academic year, giving the student additional time to meet the study requirements.
			To request a postponed BSA, students must notify their academic advisor or the ESA (Education and Student Affairs) as early as possible, and then provide appropriate documentation such as medical statements and official reports.

			In addition to the BSA:

	EU Students: ~~None~~		EU Students: No minimum annual ECTS requirement.
			Non-EU Students: Must obtain at least 30 ECTS per academic year to maintain their residence permit. This applies not only for the first year, but also for all the following years.
			These regulations may change, so contact TU/e if you require clarification or if special circumstances apply.

	~~Non-EU Students: Minimum 30ECTS a year to stay a student~~

			===Becoming Part of the TU/e Community===
			While your first year may have been focused primarily on your courses, university life at TU/e offers many additional opportunities. Students can get involved in:

	~~These regulations might change~~, ~~so to double check this. It is recommended to ask TU/e for clarification if you have a need for it~~.		Student Associations: Cultural, study-related, or social associations that enhance student life.

	~~===Joining TU/e community ===~~		International Community Groups: For example, Cosmos, the international student community.
	~~You might have fully focused on your studies during your first year~~, ~~but your university life can have more in it! You can join some [[Associations]] or [http://cosmostue.nl/~~ Cosmos~~] and become part of them. Companies in Netherlands value extracurricular activities~~, ~~so if you want something extra to your CV, becoming an active member of an associations could be a good idea~~. ~~You will also get a lot of new friends!~~

	Sports ~~can be fun~~ and [https://~~venusp~~.tue.nl/~~sci~~-~~cgi/index.opl~~ SSCE] offers an affordable sports card.		Student Teams: Multidisciplinary, project-driven teams that work on innovative, real-world challenges.

			Getting involved in these communities helps students build skills, expand their network, and form new friendships.
			Sports and recreation also play an important role in student life. SSCE offers an affordable sports card that provides access to various sports facilities, group lessons, and training programs.
