Every three years, all recognised student organisations are assessed by the HU and UU. During this assessment, it will be decided whether they will continue to be recognised and will be allowed to make use of the facilities of the HU and UU. It will also determine how many board grants and basic subsidy the organisation will be eligible for during the next three academic years. The last assessment result took place in 2021 and resulted in the Distribution of Board Grants and Basic Grants 2022-2025.
Assessment 2024
The 2024 Assessment is based on the Policy on Recognition and Support for Student Organisations. In July 2024, all recognised organisations were informed about this new policy and received the questionnaire for the 2024 Assessment. In the spring of 2025, all participating organisations will be informed of the results of the assessment, which will be in force for the academic years 2025-2026, 2026-2027 and 2027-2028.
Because the organisations have not yet been able to properly prepare for this new policy and the resulting assessment results, we are making use of a transition period for the 2024 Assessment. This transition period means that the results of the 2024 Assessment will be attenuated by 50% for the period 2025-2028. This means that an organisation that, according to the 2024 assessment result, is eligible for, for example, an increase/decrease of 10 board grant units compared to the 2021 assessment result, this will be dampened to an increase/decrease of 5 board grant units. If no round number is obtained, it will be rounded up. In this way, the organisations have more room to get used to the new situation. The same mechanism will be used for the basic grants.
